Single Jamaat in the Park
We are thrilled to announce that this Eid-al-Adha, subject to good weather, we will be performing Eid Salah again in the local Glebelands Local Nature Reserve. This will be the second time we will be doing this, the first time at Eid-ul-Fitr was a great successwhere brothers, sisters, youngsters and elders, all came together to pray together in a single Jamaat and revive the Sunnah of the Messenger, Alayhi Salam, to pray Eid outdoors in an open space.
