*Online lessons during Madrasah suspension* .
Assalaamu alaykum
Dear parents,
I hope this message reaches you in the best of health and faith.
As you may be aware, the Government has announced the closure of schools. In line with this announcement, we have also decided to suspend face to face teaching at the Madrasah. This will be in effect from today.
As we do not know how long this will continue, we are offering parents the opportunity to access online teaching.
I need to know what the interest is like for this before I decide the best way to facilitate this.
If you are interested and require further information please text or what’s app me your child’s name, your name, your email address and mobile number.
We will be charging a reduced rate of fees for this service.
Jazakallah khairan

*Suspension of Activities at Worthing Masjid in Response to Covid-19.*
Due to the severity of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and its risk to public health, it is with a heavy heart that we have to announce that we have no option but to immediately suspend all activities at Worthing Masjid until further notice, starting after Isha prayers tonight. (22/03/2020) This decision is the result of an internal consultation and follows advice and guidance
from esteemed healthcare professionals, the Government, and other Masjids and Islamic organisations.
Worthing Masjid shall immediately suspend:
• congregational five daily prayers;
• congregational Jummuah prayers; and
• programmes, events and talks.
The Imams will give the adhaan, pray 5 times daily salaah and engage in aamals to protect the sanctity of the Masjid.
We appreciate your cooperation and understanding. We urge you to take all necessary precautions to stop the
spread of the virus. We shall continuously review the decision and update you accordingly. We encourage you
to continue your daily prayers and routines from home, engage in dua, recitation of the Quran, istigfar and
durood.
We pray that Allah, the Most Merciful, showers us with His infinite mercy and grants relief, protection and ease
to all of humanity in these testing times.
We will continue to keep our community regularly updated by way of our home transmitter, website (www.worthingmasjid.co.uk) and Facebook page.

Assalamualaikum,
19 March 2020 *Worthing Masjid suspends Jumuah for the public, due to the coronavirus pandemic*
Following the latest rulings (fatwa’s) from many reputable scholars, several Shari’ah Boards, as well as the latest UK governmental guidance and advice from medical organisations and local medical professionals, Worthing Masjid have taken the unprecedented and difficult move to suspend Jumuah services to the public.
This is a decision that was not taken lightly and has been done to prevent the further spread of the virus in our Masjid and the UK at large, with the foremost being the protection of the elderly and vulnerable amongst our community.
We ask everyone to offer Jumuah at home, which should be replaced with the normal dhuhr (mid-day prayer consisting of 4 raka’at Fardh + Sunnan) prayer. The Imam’s speech can be heard through the transmitter at 1pm.
Madrasah, educational classes and other activities will also be suspended after today till further notice.
We will continue to offer the other Salahs with congregation. However, we are carefully monitoring goverment advice and are prepared for any eventuality.
Idris Nawab.
