Makkah Masjid features in a Local Magazine
Administrator on July 27th, 2009
Makkah Mosque has historically endeavored to develop a better understanding of the message of peace propagated by the Muslim faith within the wider community. The Mosque has been committed to helping to achieve harmony within the local community by planning initiatives that actively engage with different community organisations. The Mosque believes in enhancing inter-religious and communal relations, promoting spirituality, and encouraging respect and dignity for everyone. The various programmes that are held at Makkah Mosque reflect these aims.
Makkah Masjid is pleased to announce that features regarding the aesthetically magnificent mosque, its exterior and interior beauty, its architecture and its activities that mainly aim at engaging with the youth, women, local agencies and the wider community, has been running in the Headingly Life, a free monthly magazine, for the last 3 months. Each of the monthly magazines for June, July and August featured Makkah Mosque. Headingly Life has, in particular, covered such items as Makkah Masjid winning the UK’s Model Mosque award and the unique annual Connecting Cultures event that is held at the mosque.
The Imam of the mosque, Qari Asim, has been working with local agencies for a number of years, promoting the peaceful teachings of Islam amongst the public. He has been liaising with the Headingly Life for the Masjid to feature in it.
Qari Asim said: “By the grace of God, it is great news for the Muslim community in Hyde Park that due to the wide ranging activities that are organized by the Mosque for people of all backgrounds and the accolades and awards that the Mosque has won, features and articles are written about the Mosque in local papers and magazines.
Over 100,000 people read North Leeds Life magazines each month, according to the Life Magazine website, and it is wonderful to know that over 100,000 people each month for the past 3 months have been learning about the activities of Makkah Mosque and learning about the Islamic faith. It is part of the Dawa’h work that we are involved in at various levels at Makkah Masjid.”
