The Shia Itha’ashari Community of Middlesex (SICM) is inviting Harrow residents to their ‘Visit My Mosque’ event this Sunday, 29th September, from 3pm to 5pm.
This national initiative, led by the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB), encourages mosques across the UK to welcome people from all faiths and backgrounds, providing an opportunity to learn about Muslim communities and their activities.
SICM, an active Shia Muslim organisation based in North Harrow, is using this opportunity to bring the local community together and showcase their values, programmes, and the nearly completed Salaam Centre on Station Road (just opposite the Esso garage). This event will provide guests with a glimpse into the lives of the local Muslim community, their spiritual practices, and the broad range of services they offer.
The Salaam Centre, a significant project by SICM, has been under construction with the aim of becoming a welcoming and inclusive space for the entire Harrow community. Designed to cater to the social, emotional, cultural, and religious needs of the area, the centre will feature youth spaces, a sports hall, a lecture theatre, and more. It reflects SICM’s commitment to fostering community development and educational growth.
“We are excited to welcome our community to our centre once again. Our programmes are open to all, but we don’t often get the chance to showcase these events to everyone. We are also eager to take people on a tour of The Salaam Centre – which we hope will soon be a hub for our community to enjoy!” said Fatemah Manji, an Executive Committee member of SICM.
The event will include a tour of the Salaam Centre, with the striking façade already visible from the street. Guest can also visit various stalls highlighting SICM’s community activities and programmes. Short talks will be given by an Executive Committee member, along with contributions from the Vicars of local churches, St. Albans and St. Michael’s and All Angels.
The event kicks off with a welcome reception at 3pm, followed by the Salaam Centre tour at 3:30pm. The centre is located next to 39 Gloucester Road, HA1 4PR, with access through the large brown gates on Station Road. Attendees will be guided by a visible banner marking the event.
Refreshments, including samosas, tea, and cookies, will be available for all guests!.
