Centre

Whitethread has acquired a new premise. This is an exciting development for the organisation and a significant step forward in its growth and development. The new premises offer a larger space to provide a better learning environment for our students. We are thrilled to have this opportunity to expand our facilities and enhance the quality of our education and services.

£450,000

Complete Renovations Works

Whitethread renovation works will be a financial obligation of £450,000 that needs to be paid off. This amounts to works to be carried out in the premises that are crucial to the growth of the organisation’s operations. The premises will be instrumental in serving the community and furthering the organisation’s mission.

To meet this obligation, Whitethread is committed to finding a viable solution to pay this amount and continue to serve the community with the same level of commitment and dedication and the support of the community is crucial to overcoming this financial obstacle. Whitethread is grateful for the support or assistance in donations to fund the renovation works.

Location

Our premises is situated in East London by the picturesque Wanstead Flats.

There is a significant need for an Islamic centre and mosque. The local community has been requesting such a facility for many years, and we are proud to be able to provide it. The centre will offer a range of services and activities for Muslims in the area, including prayers, Quranic classes, youth programs, and community events. It will also serve as a hub for interfaith dialogue and outreach to the wider community.

Services at the Premises

Mosque

As part of our commitment to serving the community, we offer a dedicated prayer facility for our visitors to perform their daily prayers in peace and comfort. Our facility is equipped with everything you need to perform your prayers, including prayer mats, Qurans, and ablution stations. We believe that prayer is an essential part of our faith, and we strive to make it accessible to everyone. Whether you are a local resident or a visitor to our area, we invite you to visit our prayer facility and experience the tranquility and spirituality of praying in congregation.

Post-Graduate Institute

We offer a diverse range of classes for those seeking to deepen their knowledge of Islam and engage in advanced studies. Our post-graduate Islamic Institute is dedicated to providing students with an exceptional learning experience in a supportive and engaging environment. Our curriculum covers a wide range of subjects including theology, jurisprudence, tafsir and Arabic language, taught by highly qualified scholars.

Imam’s Training

We aim to have a comprehensive Imams training facility to equip future religious leaders with the skills and knowledge they need to serve their communities. Our training programs are designed to provide an in-depth understanding of Islamic theology, jurisprudence, and pastoral care. Our programs include both theoretical and practical components, allowing students to gain hands-on experience in leading prayers, delivering sermons, and providing counseling services. We also aim to provide training in conflict resolution, community engagement, and public speaking to help our students become effective leaders and communicators.

Counselling

We aim to setup counselling services which are designed to provide emotional and mental support to individuals and families facing a range of issues. Our highly qualified and experienced counsellors will be trained in Islamic psychology and offer a confidential, non-judgmental, and compassionate approach to counselling. Our counseling services cover a range of issues, including depression, anxiety, grief, relationship problems, and stress. We are committed to helping our clients in accordance with Islamic principles and values.

Women Classes

We offer a range of classes tailored specifically for women who wish to deepen their knowledge of Islam and engage in personal and spiritual growth. Our women’s classes are taught by highly qualified and experienced female scholars who are passionate about sharing their knowledge with others. We cover a range of subjects, including Quranic studies, Hadith, Islamic history, and jurisprudence. Our classes are designed to be flexible and accommodating, with both full-time and part-time options available to suit the needs of our students. We provide a supportive and welcoming environment where women can connect with one another, share their experiences, and grow together in faith and knowledge.

Community Activities​

We believe that a strong and vibrant community is built on meaningful connections and engagement. We aim to hold community activities which are designed to foster a sense of belonging and togetherness among members of our community. We aim to offer a range of activities and events throughout the year, including educational seminars, social gatherings, and volunteer opportunities. These activities will provide opportunities for community members to come together, share their experiences, and learn from one another. We will also aim to organise youth programs, sports activities, and community service projects to engage younger members of our community and foster their sense of responsibility and leadership.
