We are receiving complaints from residents that driveways and roads are being blocked by worshipers attending Jumuah Prayers.

We ask everyone to be considerate of our neighbours and park legally away from the Masjid without blocking anyone’s driveways or roads.

Where possible to ease traffic in the area please use public transport and share cars where possible when arriving to the Masjid for Jumuah or Taraweeh prayers.

Last Friday (18th June) an exit from behind a house was blocked, as a result of this a resident was unable drive their disabled mother to the hospital. This is UNACCEPTABLE, WE REQUEST that when you attend the mosque for prayers; YOU MUST NOT block any exits, driveways, junctions or cause any other inconvenience to our neighbours and local residents by your actions or behaviour.

There is plenty of parking available within 5-10min walk from the mosque, if you park there and walk to the mosque, inshallah you will receive extra rewards for every step you take to walk to the mosque.

Islam gives great emphasis on the rights of neighbours and recommends that a Muslim treats their neighbours kindly. There are many hadiths regarding this:
In a Hadith prophet Muhammad said, ‘Jibril always recommended treating neighbours with kindness until I thought he would assign a share of inheritance.’ [Al-Bukhari]
Good treatment towards neighbours is one of the characteristics that make a person among the best. The Prophet said, ‘The best friend in the sight of Allah is the friend who is best to his friends; and the best neighbour is the neighbour who is best to his neighbours.’ [At-Tirmidhi]

The Messenger of Allah [pbuh] said, ‘He will not enter Jannah whose neighbour is not secure from his wrongful conduct.’ The Messenger of Allah [pbuh] said, “He who believes in Allah and the Last Day let him not harm his neighbour; and he who believes in Allah and the Last Day let him show hospitality to his guest; and he who believes in Allah and the Last Day let him speak good or remain silent.’ [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

The Qur’an also declares about kindness to neighbours, ‘Worship Allah and join none with Him [in worship]; and do good to parents, kinsfolk, orphans, the poor, the neighbour who is near of kin, the neighbour who is a stranger, the companion by your side, the wayfarer [you meet]…..’ [4:36]

Hello,

Police were called to a Mosque near Regents Park at 3.10pm to reports of a stabbing. A man, in his 70’s was found injured. He was treated by paramedics before being taken to hospital. His condition has been assessed as non-life-threatening. A man has been arrested on Suspicion of attempted Murder.

The man arrested was a 29 year old man, who is believed to have been attending prayers, was arrested inside the mosque on suspicion of attempted murder.

The incident is not being treated as terror-related at this time.

We believe this to be an isolated incident, however you may notice an increase in patrols. This is to provide reassurance to our communities here in the South East boroughs. If there are any concerns then please do not hesitate to get in touch. Please refer to the Metropolitan police services main social media accounts for the latest updates on the incident.

We are shocked over the incident today where a brother was stabbed in the mosque at the Islamic Cultural Centre (Regent’s Park Mosque).

We ask all brothers and sisters to remain vigilant and report any incidents to the mosque and MEND. Please take time to read the advice provided by MEND.

Asslamualaikum wa ramatulillahi wa barakatu

Brothers and sisters

In light of the recent evil act of violance at London Bridge on 29.11.19 please be vigilant and do not get into any altercation in or outside the mosque.

Please report any incident to the police even if it is small. We have also placed a crime reporting book by the first window on right as you enter the mosque.

Please write down/report any incident, if your are not able to write in English then you can write in Bengla or any other language. Please ensure to write your name and phone number so that we can contact you.
