The Future
Exciting plans are in the works for Taiyabah Masjid! We aim to give Muslims a safe and welcoming space for learning, socialising, and conducting ceremonies. It could also be an educational resource for the young and the old. Furthermore, it would allow people from different backgrounds to come together and celebrate the shared values integral to the Islamic faith.
The current plans include the following:
- A large prayer hall.
- Modern toilets and ablution areas.
- A fully integrated kitchen.
- Additional lecture rooms.
In addition, the newly constructed wing will feature state-of-the-art lighting and technology like Wi-Fi access and video streaming capabilities. Our goal is to bring convenience and comfort to those who frequent the masjid.
The team at Taiyabah Masjid is determined to ensure that worshippers have access to all the latest amenities to enjoy their time in this sacred place. Work on this crucial part of community life is already underway, and we can’t wait for our plans to come to fruition.
We also intend to invest more in promoting Islamic education. By assisting Muslims in adapting to an Islamic lifestyle, including marriage and burial practices, we are taking action to create a social framework for unity and cooperation amongst believers.
Additionally, we have plans for an Islamic Educational/Cultural Centre and Library in line with Islamic principles. The funds raised will go towards maintaining the Mosque. Our aim is to create opportunities to enrich the spiritual lives of Bolton’s Muslim community.
