Great piece! It’s sad to learn that East London Mosque isn’t accommodating women for Tahajud prayers - I don’t quite understand the ‘free mixing’ excuse … I thought women prayed in separate halls? At least this isn’t the case for all mosques.🕌 who probably have more women on their committees ;) (an assumption I’m making).
No you’re right, maryam centre is separate from the main men’s entrance so really there shouldn’t be any free mixing but there are also brothers who wait outside for family members so it does get quite mixed outside the mosque. Still, not a reason to close down mosques for Muslim women during prayer times
This is beautiful Faima! I love Regent’s Mosque and try and go every time I'm back, it's also the mosque I take my non muslim friends to and some have even converted at this mosque! Thanks for this read! xx
Aw Rez, I love that! It really is such a stunning mosque. I keep meaning to go back but also feel a bit conflicted coz they invited Rishi Sunak (the man who won't call for a ceasefire in Palestine, imagine!). I'm so happy to hear your friends have converted too mashallah!
