    EID MUBARAK
    Message of Appreciation- Chair of Trustees, M.Saflo


    On behalf of the Masjid trustees, I would like to thank the management, for ensuring smooth operation during Ramadan, and the staff and volunteers who have dedicated their time and effort to ensure that you all have a fulfilling month of fasting, socially and spiritually. Most of this work has been behind the scenes requiring much patience and sacrifice. First, in social events, thank you to our volunteers who have cleaned the mosque at least once daily, and more frequently with regular events. Our car park attendants and fundraising team for their tireless service to organise the premises and raise money for good causes such as No 14 York Road. Second, thank you to our catering team of chefs and servers who worked industriously every day, together with those who prepared the venue for iftar and those who cleaned up afterwards. Special credit belongs to the weekend Sunday feast service that they provided. Thank you to our ‘goody bag’ team who always bring joy to our little ones on Eid day. Third, spiritually, thank you to our imams who graced us with a moving recitation of the Quran, illuminating the House of Allah with His Magnificent Words, and facilitating our spiritual connection with Allah Azza wa Jal. We thank our host Imams, our guest Imam, students and our future Huffadh who led the Taraweeh beautifully. Finally, a thank you to you, the worshippers, for bringing warmth to Allah’s House, filling it with the sound of your duas and your children. We pray that Allah accepts our duas, prayers and fasts. Ameen


    Dr Saflo
    Chair of Trustees, Exeter Mosque



    Fundraising Update- Alom Hussain Fundraising Lead, 14 York Road

A heartfelt JazakAllahuKhairan to everyone who donated. May Allah accept your generous contributions, multiply your rewards, and grant you success in this life and the hereafter. Ameen! For those who would still like to donate — we are still taking donations on our LaunchGood page, so please continue to give generously. May Allah reward you all abundantly!

    “Who is he that will lend to Allah a goodly loan, so that He may multiply it to him many times?” (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:245)
    The renovation of Number 14 York Road will generate a steady income stream. This will fund mosque expansion, including redeveloping the sports hall and community facilities. Additionally, the funds will support essential local projects that benefit the entire community, in particular, our youth, sisters, families, new Muslims and local and university students.



    Iftar with the Wider Community

    On the 24th of March, we hosted members of the public in the mosque for iftar. It was a fantastic event to showcase our Islamic faith and practices.


    Eid Lunch

    Eid Lunch will be on Sunday, 6th Aprill at the mosque, from 12pm.

    May Allah accept all your prayers and supplications in these 10 great days of Dhul Hijjah.

    These are the best days in the year and the ideal time to remember the sacrifice of Prophet Ibraheem (alaihissalaam) as well as stand in solidarity with those who are Allah’s guests in Makkah for Hajj. It is also a time to remember our brothers and sisters around the world and how we can continue to connect with them and provide support.

    We wish you all a fantastic day with friends and families.

    Gaza Statement

    Peace be upon you,

    We witness a calamitous situation in Palestine, where great persecution has continued for several decades, culminating in the latest chapter with the killing of thousands of people in the last several weeks.

    Allah Himself has blessed this land in the Qur’an where He says, “Exalted is He who took His servant by night from Masjid al-Haram to Masjid al-Aqsa, whose surroundings We have blessed.” (Qur’an 17:1).

    We see in horror, in this blessed land, the suffering of our brothers and sisters. There is continuous bombardment combined with a ground invasion, with complete disregard for the value of sacred human life. “When they are told, ‘Do not spread corruption in the land,’ they reply, ‘We are only peace-makers!’ Indeed, it is they who are the corruptors, but they fail to perceive it.” (Qur’an 2:11)

    As a result of these actions, more than 10,000 people have been killed, of whom more than 4000 are children. (https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/pressure-israel-over-civilians-steps-up-ceasefire-calls-rebuffed-2023-11-06/#:~:text=GAZA%2C%20Nov%206%20(Reuters),Israeli%20strikes%20had%20exceeded%2010%2C000)

    Our beloved departed will have the highest reward from Allah, who says “And do not say about those who are killed in the way of Allah, ‘they are dead.’ Rather they are alive, but you perceive it not.” (Qur’an 2:154) A further reminder are His words “And never think of those who have been killed in the cause of Allah as dead. Rather they are alive with their Lord, receiving provision, rejoicing in what Allah has bestowed upon them from His bounty and they receive good tidings about those after them who have not yet joined them – that there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve.” (Qur’an 3:169-170)

    We are One Ummah, as our beloved Prophet Muhammad (on him be peace) has said “the parable of the believers in their affection, mercy, and compassion for each other is that of a body. When any limb aches, the whole body reacts with sleeplessness and fever.” (Sahih al-Bukhari 6011, Sahih Muslim 2586).

    It is in our capacity as One Ummah, who believe in whoever saves a life, it is as if he had saved the lives of all mankind. (Qur’an 5:32) that we unequivocally demand the following five points with immediate effect:

    1. Enforce complete withdrawal from occupied Palestinian lands.
    2. End illegal occupation, settlements and breach of international law.
    3. Abide by international humanitarian law and provide access to humanitarian aid.
    4. Lift the illegal 16-year blockade on Gaza – a collective punishment and a war crime.
    5. Rescind the appalling “evacuation” order, which has left more than one million people displaced.

    Damning evidence of war crimes as Israeli attacks wipe out entire families in Gaza – Amnesty International and https://www.redcross.org.uk/stories/disasters-and-emergencies/world/occupied-palestinian-territories-and-israel-crisis-appeal

    We demand that our MP stands up for its constituents to support these five points.

    We pray that Allah gives us the ability to make sincere dua and prayers, financially support the needy, raise awareness of critical causes around the world and provide us with strength to call on those in authority over us. In all this, to make us a positive role model for others.

    O Allah, bless and unite the Ummah of Muhammad (on him be peace).

    Dear Ben Bradshaw,

    I am writing as a supporter of Islamic Relief, an NGO which has worked in the Occupied Palestinian Territory since 1997. They have an office in Gaza and work closely with local partner organisations to deliver a wide range of programmes supporting families, schools and hospitals.  

    I am deeply appalled by the violence that has unfolded in the region and killed thousands of civilians. All parties have a duty to respect and uphold international humanitarian law and ensure that civilians are protected, and that duty is clearly not being met. 

    The tightening of Israel’s siege of Gaza – cutting off supplies of food, medicine, fuel and aid – represents collective punishment of all 2.2 million people living in Gaza, around half of whom are children. The current order for more than 1 million people to leave northern Gaza is contributing to a humanitarian catastrophe. Hospitals have been ordered to empty and families have been bombed as they follow the order to flee. Food and water are running out.   

    The death toll is mounting hourly, and the humanitarian crisis is critical – with worse yet to come. I am asking you to urgently write to the Foreign Secretary, James Cleverly, and urge him to: 

    1. Call for an immediate ceasefire to prioritise the preservation of human life. 

    2. Demand that Israel immediately ends its complete siege of Gaza and ensures that humanitarian aid safely reaches people in need in accordance with humanitarian principles. Israel must allow safe and unimpeded entry of fuel, water, food, and other humanitarian necessities into Gaza. 

    3. Demand that all parties comply with international law and ensure that civilians are protected from harm. All parties must not target civilians or civilian infrastructure and must ensure that civilians have access to basic necessities such as water, food and power. 

    4. Increase UK aid to Palestine to respond to the urgent humanitarian needs and work with international partners to ensure that governments continue to fund humanitarian organisations and UN agencies responding to the crisis.   

    I hope you will urgently deliver these messages to the Foreign Secretary, and I would urge you to also raise these issues with the leader of your party and in parliament.  

    I look forward to hearing from you soon.
