Welcome to our first South Lakes Islamic Centre (SLIC) Podcast with Aban Hussain, SLIC Chairman.
In this episode Aban discuss what has been going behind the scenes for the past year and answer questions many of you have raised.
We are delighted to update you that Alhamdulillah 🌟, after considerable perseverance over the past few years, we have made significant progress on the *First Masjid Project*! 🕌
As we speak, enabling works have started on the ground, Alhamdulillah. ✅
*Key Appointments:*
• 🏗️ *Main Build Contractor*
• 🚧 *Highway Works Contractor*
We aim to discharge the pre-commencement conditions, including highway works 🚦 and National Rail engagement 🚉, by *mid-February, InshaAllah, followed by the foundation works. The build itself is expected to take approximately **9-12 months*, subject to ground conditions and funding.
Your *du’as* 🤲 and continued support 💖 are greatly needed. This is the most ambitious project within the area, and with Allah’s help, we believe this landmark *First Masjid* 🕌 will establish a thriving Muslim community within the South Lakes, InshaAllah.
JazaakAllahu Khairan 🌟
