A Musalla for Musafirs.
In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful and Most Beneficient.
By the Grace of Allah, a local charity in Preston has become instrumental in an enduring project aiming to provide muslims travelling across the UK the opportunity to offer daily prayers at motorway services.
Directors at Hilton Park services have granted a license to a Preston based charity to occupy a special designated room for prayer purposes equipped with ablution facilities at the popular M6 Hilton Park Services.
A Prayer Room facility - A Musalla
Hilton Park services at Junction 10A off the M6 is notably the first service station in the UK to offer a prayer room with ablution facilities starting from December 10th 2006. The project has been an objective of the charitable trust for quite some time, and it is with the grace of Allah that permission has been granted by the service operator to provide such a needed amenity.
Peace of Mind for Travellers - Musafirs
For many years, Muslims were unable to find suitable praying or washing facilities at the UK's service stations. Quite often, Muslims were forced to offer prayer outside the services where they could find a bare patch at the car park or nook behind the buildings. Futhermore, they found it difficult to perform ablution in the toilet washbasins particularly during busy periods- which caused inconvenience to regular users who find individuals removing their socks and placing bare feet into washbasins unsightly.
A Local Charity Project.
The local charity trust aims to acquire more locations for prayers at crucial motorway service locations across the UK. This project of many intends to alleviate the problems faced by Muslims who have been unable to offer prayer at a convenient and safe place on the UK's Motorway network - inshAllah, Ameen.
