Chairman Update – Special Announcement

July 24th 2024 (18th Muharram 1446).

Full Planning Permission To Establish an Islamic Community Centre in Egham.

 

As Salaam Aleikum, Dear Brothers and sisters,

Once again, we would like to share another historical moment with you all.

Runnymede Borough Council committee met to review our planning application. The meeting included a talk from an objection speaker and Father John’s heartfelt and compelling talk.
After much deliberation, and despite the overwhelming 338 objection letters versus 177 letters of support, we are overjoyed to announce that our planning application has been accepted, Alhamdulillah. This is a significant milestone, marking the culmination of the Runnymede Muslim Society’s 25-year struggle and the beginning of a new chapter in our community’s history.
We thank Allah for entrusting us with such an honourable responsibility and everyone.

We are deeply grateful to each and every one of you, both Muslim and non-Muslim, who stood by us, supported us, and prayed for us. This acceptance is the first step towards establishing the first Islamic Community Centre in Egham, a centre that will benefit not only the local community but also future generations.
The Messenger of Allah (saw) said, ‘Whoever builds a mosque for Allah, Allah will build for him a house like it in Paradise.’ [Bukhari]
May Allah bless our efforts, protect our community, and grant us the strength to continue striving for excellence. Ameen

Jazak Allah Khair

Momade Faizal (Chairman)
On behalf of all of the trustees
