Social Activities Committee
A masjid is more than a place of worship, it is a community center, the center of a Muslim community's activities. If you've attended an iftar, or enjoyed our annual picnic, you've already seen our work. Halal activities are thought up and planned by you to the benefit of everyone so come and be creative with ideas. e.g. picnics, iftars, sports, camping, matrimonial, etc.
