Hendon Mosque

Assalaamu Alaikum

We have now concluded the review process for allocating spaces for Esha & Taraweeh prayers this Ramadan at Hendon Masjid. It is extremely sad that we cannot accommodate everyone who completed the online registration on our website. As you are no doubt aware there are still government restrictions and guidelines applicable to places such as ours, hence the numbers that can attend are still restricted.

We have undertaken a fair process to make the allocation and those who were successful will have received email notification of the outcome and given instructions on what to do next.

To everyone else who applied we extend our sincere apologies that you were not successful. We pray that you will be able to find a space at another venue or recommend you will benefit from Praying and doing your Ibadah at home with your families.

Jazakallahu Khairan

It is with a heavy heart and great sadness: we announce the loss of the Honourable General Secretary of Hendon Mosque & Islamic Centre: Sayed Eqbal Kadri on Saturday 20^th March (survived by his wife, Anwari Kadri and four children, Tasneem, Tabussum, Tahseen and Tanveer).

Marhoom Eqbal Kadri was a pioneer of this community, who touched so many people’s lives with his sincere dedication and devotion to serving the Deen of Allah S.W.T.

A giant amongst men, who supported the religion at all times, some of his notable service to this community is as follows:

• Marhoom Eqbal moved to the UK in the early 1970s at a time when there was only a very small Muslim community in North West London
• During the mid-1980s, he became a committee member and later rose to General Secretary, a position he has held for over 30 years
• A key point of contact for organisations and the public, acting in many instances as the face of Hendon Masjid
• Played a major role and facilitated the acquisition and move to the existing Masjid location on Brent View Road (previously on West Hendon Broadway). The newly renovated facilities provided 2 large prayer halls and a mezzanine floor for congregational worship, as well as space for the expanding Madrasah.
• Instrumental  in broadening the Masjid’s services to incorporate the Mortuary and Youth Club on Park Road.
• In the late 1990s, as the Muslim community grew in Hendon, there emerged a need for more formalised education for the Muslim youth.
• To this end, he assisted in acquiring the Montagu Road school site in 2009 for the creation of a Muslim girls school (now Barnet Hill Academy) and which also allowed the expansion of Hendon Madrasah – which alhamdulillah as we now know caters for 500 plus students.

Marhoom Eqbal Kadri will truly be missed by all of us, he leaves an enormous vacuum for our organisation, but we pray his lifetime of dedication in the servitude of the House of Allah will inspire all of us and particularly the next generation to follow in his footsteps in serving the deen of Allah SWt. We humbly request that you remember him and his family in your special Duaa’s.

May Allah azza wa Jal forgive all of his sins, accept his good actions in accordance to his generosity, and build for him a home in Jannatul Firdous close to the Almighty; as he made the Masjid a home for the servants of Allah (Aameen).

​With Sincere Duaa’s
