The Canterbury Mosque not only meets the spiritual needs of the local Muslim community but also facilitates social gatherings, promoting interfaith dialogues and inclusivity. During Ramadan, large iftar meals serve as a platform for building friendships among community members.
Marium, a 14-year-old youth member, shares how her involvement in the mosque fosters a sense of belonging: 'It allows me to meet people from various backgrounds within the Arab community, who share similar values and traditions. It makes me feel at home in Canterbury.'
The mosque engages in various community activities such as school visits and educational workshops, which aim to promote a deeper understanding of Islamic culture and values. This outreach helps build bridges between cultures, enhancing social coexistence.
Through engaging with the wider community and hosting interfaith dialogues, the Canterbury Mosque plays a crucial role in dispelling misconceptions about Islam, contributing to a more inclusive society and personal connections among diverse groups.
