Dear resident of East Dulwich/North Cross R,


As you may be aware the month of Ramadan has started on Sunday 29th June 14, we have now completed a week of fasting with roughly 3 weeks to go!


The Friday Jummah (prayer) would be much more busy than usual and the night time prayers of Ramadan (11pm - 12:30am) has started last week, the Islamic community would like to raise awareness to the residents incase many of you may be wondering what is going on.


We would also like to apologise in advanced if we have caused any issues or disturbance to the local residence. Also, please do not be alarmed by large groups which may enter or leave the mosque - as they simply just want to meet, greet, get on with prayers and go, we are trying are best from keeping children away from the upstairs section of the mosque during night time prayers incase they cause disturbance.


Eid prayers may fall on either 27th, 28th or 29th July 2014 from 7:30am to 12pm so please expect many people entering/leaving the mosque.


Finally I would like to thank a majority of people for their kind support and understanding.


Ramadan Kareem! :)


(Local resident who attends the Mosque)

Yes, it is very hard to fast, with the long days and short nights, just 6hours from Iftaar (breaking fast) to sehri (meal before fast) but inshallah we all can get through it!

Yeah nice post by MrDude, and I'm sure there's no need to apologise for anything.


I was wondering, do people ever kill two birds with one stone and treat ramadan as a way to lose a few kilos? Or is it more common to binge on fine food in the permitted window?

I used to feel so sorry for my old boss during ramadan, he really tailed off towards the end of the day, we knew not to bother him after a certain hour ;)


Incidentally I've found it interesting that even quite secular muslims i know, happy to have a drink or a bacon sarnie tend to observe ramadan quite assiduously.

Thank you everyone for your understanding and support, and yes its fine to say happy Ramadan, the actual term is Ramadan Mubarak or Ramadan Kareem and its appropriate as Muslims fast because they are happy to experience what the less fortunate go without.

      Promo counter/ trade-show stand wanted for community art project.

      By Lillo · Posted

      A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By Rockets · Posted

      No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.

      Electrician (Highly recommended) - James Seth

      By AlanMBarr · Posted

      I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By David Peckham · Posted

      Most recent polls for the next election suggest it will be a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party by a fair margin. But that is predicated on Reform finding around 300 candidates who are actually electable. Given the number of Reform council candidates who have had to drop out prior to or after the local elections, does that seem likely? Social media is pretty unforgiving when it comes to finding skeletons in cupboards; a retweet or a like seems enough to scupper political ambitions. A few may defect from other parties, but do you think the electorate would really vote for so many brand new MPs from a newish party?  I'm not so sure.
