Faith Connections in Beeston --- Jamia Masjid Abu Huraira (Mosque)

A tour will explain the history of this impressive mosque, the high quality building materials which were used, the symbolism on the bronze doors and the five floors used for prayers which have sufficient space to accommodate 1000 people each Friday. The main floor has a spectacular chandelier.
There will be an explanation of the five pillars of Islam, the importance of the Qur'an and how it was revealed to The Prophet and memorised and written down.
Why is fasting important? What is the Hajj? Why do women have a separate area? Why are shoes removed at the entrance? What are the dress requirements? What is halal and why is it important? Why are prayers held on Fridays in particular?
There will be ample opportunity to ask these and any other questions which you may have.
Visitors are asked to dress modestly, head covering preferred but not compulsory and shoes to be left on entry (you may wish to wear socks).
