I Pray no one has the experience we had at our beloved mother's funeral . The entire proceedings were disorganised from beginning to end, with no concept of the importance of time keeping. After many hours wait and numerous phone calls my mother's body was finally collected from our house. Only one person came, where the norm is minimum of 2 people are required for the removal. The khusal time was given and when we turned up the following morning the masjid remained closed for several hours. When the GANG of ladies finally arrived to perform the ghusal they were disrespectful with non stop talking and had to be reminded to focus on the bathing. VERY DISTURBING TO WITNESS. No consideration for the deceased or the bereaved. A lot of relatives came from abroad and from different parts of UK. No consideration was given to people who had to travel long distance to get home following the funeral. The coffin provided was not clean and the ambulance carrying our mother to the burial Ground Was littered with miscellaneous items inside . It is a wonder there was room for rhe coffin . Thoba Thoba. The Janaza prayers were hurried and left much to be desired. On top of that a random lady unknown to anyone including the mosque proceeded to lecture everyone on an equally random topic. She had to be told to leave when she refused to stop. No management intervention. Other funeral services i have attended have been a comfort to everyone. I have heard many horror stories from people with similar experience as ours if not worse about funeral services at this mosque. Please familiarise yourself with the mosques workings in this area so no one else has to experience such treatment at a time when one is already...

Read moreToday is the day of Arafat and millions of Muslims are performing Hajj mouting arafat today, and millions more are fasting around the world on this day specifically for the reward with tomorrow being Eid ul Adha.
But yet this masjid always does their day of Arafat and Eid a day after everyone else. While Muslims are celebrating Eid they will be doing their Arafat, and while we are on our second day of Eid they will start their first day. How can you make or do Arafat on a day when it is over? If they were performing Hajj would they have also done Arafat the following day whilst all pilgrims are celebrating Eid?
And they do this more or less every year. If you follow that you might end up missing the day of Arafat for a lifetime and the reward, because they fast on Eid which is when Arafat is over. Again, it's a consensus pretty much around the world but they seem to always choose...
