Construction Update Thursday 22 Dec 2011
Thursday 22.12.11
In the name of ALLAH the most beneficent, the most merciful, peace and blessings on our beloved Prophet Muhummad SAW.
Progress since the last update has been remarkable, the pictures tell the story. The scaffold has been removed so the new extension is now clearly visible from all elevations. Inside the rooms are now plastered, walls painted, wiring, heating and plumbing in situ.
There are several exciting features within the building, the favourites include an atrium style ceiling creating a sense of space and light, an annex on the second floor with a window which overlooks the Masjid dome and minarets, one can probably sit and stare through the window for a few hours, a plant room which heats water from the rooftop solar panels and a dedicated IT suite.
The entire building gives a sense of space and light as you walk through the corridors, every inch of space has been utilised to best effect. There is still more work to be done to finish off, it’s estimated that this will take 3-4 months.
We are extremely grateful to all members of the Leicestershire community that have supported this project both spiritually and financially. It will be a lasting legacy for future generations to come, and may ALLAH (SWT) make our community a strong and pious community now and into the future.
It’s still not too late to invest whatever you can towards the Madressa and ALLAH (SWT) will reward you abundantly. Everyone at Masjid Umar also requests your precious Duaa’s that the project is completed swiftly and that ALLAH grants us all his mercy and barakaat (ameen).
A further update will be provided early Feb 2012. Was Sallam.
