Alhamdolillah, very good news confirmed today is that Markaz will not be demolished. Many false reports have been given by some political parties to misguide and divide the Newham Muslim community for their political benefit.

Inshaallah we now await for plans to be passed in negotiations with Council.

Please pass on this good news to all your contacts.

Read here for full report.

Spoke to solat sahab at markaz. This is a false news spread by the labour beneficiaries and vested people who works for Robin Wales rather than deen of Allah or markaz. It's enough for someone to believe whatever they hear and spread. Jazakalalh. Please stick to strategy. However this is only temporary structure we are discussing. Labour council cost us 1.4 million and refused our planning permission and boast about it. Now they are spreading false rumour. Jazakallah for being United.

If the judgement is read fully Markaz, by it's behaviour, has not covered itself in glory reneging on an agreement with the council & doing things without planning.

If you have some expertise/knowledge that may be beneficial then please pop down to Markaz on a Tuesday evening preferably and share your thoughts with the elders there, one should assist in any way they can. Insha'Ala it will be beneficial and much appreciated.

the ending text says "The injunction should be suspended until the outcome of the appeals is known and a short period has been allowed for the parties to consider their positions. I invite them to make written submissions as to the terms of the order. " so its still not decided one way or the other....further time has been granted.

whatever the ruling in future and whatever the rights and wrongs of how Markaz/Council has gone about this, theres this much chance the current buildings will be demolished: 0%.

No local authority, anywhere, will do that to a masjid whos local borough's population is about 35% muslim. Most likely it'll be the same if say a building of another (religious) community was threatened with demolition but they too had a large local population.

Wednesday, June 11, 2014

A public inquiry into Newham Council's rejection of plans for a mosque in West Ham has opened with supporters and opponents of the so-called "Mega Mosque" making their case.

The Abbey Mills Riverine Centre application for a 29,227sq m mosque in Canning Road was turned down by councillors in 2012 unanimously after local residents protested against plans.

But this prompted counter protests by local Muslims in favour of the new centre, which would cater for 9,000 worshipers in a site more than three times the floorspace of St Paul's Cathedral.

A public inquiry held by the government's Planning Inspectorate kicked off on Tuesday 3 at the ExCeL centre, and is expected to last until June 23.

The inquiry is also looking at the temporary permission granted for the site to be used as a smaller mosque for two years, which has now expired.

Representations will be made by the Newham People's Alliance, a community group which supports the plans, and the MegaMosqueNoThanks campaign, run by ex-Newham councillor and former head of the Christian People's Alliance, Alan Craig.

The final decision on the future of the plans, put forward by the Anjuman-E-Islahul-Muslimeen Trust, will be made by local government secretary Eric Pickles after he hears the Planning Inspectorate's recommendations.

The rejected development included a segregated space for nearly 2,000 women, a library, dining hall, visitors' centre, and eight flats for imams and guests, along with tennis courts, football pitches, a garden, and a riverside walk along Abbey Creek.

A spokeswoman for Newham Council said: "This is an ongoing public enquiry so we can't comment on this."

Bhai daywalker I know you're a bit against some tablighis (with some justification) but on this issue some sensitivity would not go a miss. With regards to demolishing well Robin Wales and the idiots who run the borough are islamaphobes. I would not put it past them. It is sad that Muslims still vote for him.

Nah bro I have the same issue with deobandi masjids. When I'm out and about with my family and can't even find a place to pray salah with my family. I have to drive around crazy looking for a place for wife to pray as well as a family friendly masjid. It is a crazy situation. Having said that the markaz in Leicester did let my wife pray. The issue is that when we are under immense attack like in Newham such talk will filter through to our enemies who will have more reasons to block the plans.

Amazing though isn't it. Even Kuffar Shopping Malls have made provisions for the sisters.

It might not be the best of examples and not the best of places to be pray, but its there, even if its the help of Shaitan!

Can you imagine the number of people preferring to go to a shopping mall for the whole day simply because they can pray?

In London, the alternatives are the Shopping Malls or Salafi Masjids. Speaks volumes doesn't it

"Having said that the markaz in Leicester did let my wife pray" What?!?!?! thats mind blowing!! (fell off chair in shock reading that ...Mug Shot soup all down my shirt!). is that markaz some renegade/rebellious/new age markaz??? Sorry but I want some evidence this actually happened . photo of a sisters hand (wearing gloves) and touching the masjid front door would probs suffice...even that'll be an achievement.

Im gonna reply to QT's tweet now from a few days back wrt Leic and womens salah facilities :-)

Bro I remember the magic moment. I went to Leicester on the way up north. Wife wanted to taste the legendary donar kebab near markaz. So we went there. Walked into markaz and asked them my wife wanted to pray. Was given permission. There was this small room on the right hand side next to the entrance.
