Leeds Makkah Masjid

In the spirit of the fasting month of Ramadan, we Leeds Muslim Council cordially invite whole of community of Leeds to share a meal with us at Leeds Makkah Mosque. This meal, called Iftar, is conducted after sunset and breaks the Muslims’ day long fast.

Please join us for this Iftar on Saturday, 27th September 2008.  The program starts at 6pm with a short welcome and talk, with the opportunity to ask questions about fasting and the month of Ramadan.

There will then be a tour of the mosque and a brief explanation of the stunning calligraphy and art work inside the mosque.

The iftar dinner will be served at 7pm

We look forward to seeing you then.

In preparation for the month of Ramadan, Makkah Masjid co-hosted with Iqra Centre Leeds an Inter-faith dinner party. Delegation from various churches were welcomed by Imam of Makkah Mosque and a tour of the mosque was given. The tour was followed by an explanation of the stunning calligraphy and art work inside the mosque and activities of the mosque.

There was then recitation of the holy Qur’an and short talks about the month of Ramadan and what it means to be a Muslim in the month of Ramadan.

A full feast was then laid by Iqra Centre Leeds.

Makkah Masjid took part in a series of lectures organized by Leeds Interfaith Fellowship, Concord, on understanding the scriptures of the faiths.

The Imam of Makkah Masjid, Hafiz Asim, gave people of other faiths an introduction to the Qur’an, explaining how the Qur’an was revealed and written down during the life of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). The Imam illustrated the structure of the Quran, the different themes which it teaches
and its immense importance in Muslim faith, worship and daily life.
