With you through life
Wedding (nikah)
The religious wedding in our mosque, led by one of our imams. It always takes place after the civil wedding at the registry office.
Mevlid (Mawlid)
A gathering with Quran recitation, the Mevlid poem about the birth of the Prophet and a supplication. It is held for a new baby, a wedding or in memory of someone who has died. It can take place in the mosque or in your home.
Bereavement & burial
Our community and our imams support families. We help with washing the deceased, the funeral prayer and the transfer of the body.
