Crawley interfaith event to mark historic mosque’s centenary
People will come together at a Crawley mosque for an evening promoting unity and interfaith dialogue.
The Ahmadiyya Muslim Association (AMA) is holding the event at Noor Mosque, in Langley Drive, on Saturday, October 3.
It will commemorate the centenary of the London Mosque, described by the association as the first purpose-built mosque in the capital, as well as recognising the AMA’s work in Crawley and across Sussex.
The event is expected to be attended by representatives of different faiths, neighbours and members of the public, alongside an MP, a mayor, a deputy lord-lieutenant and a police superintendent.
Organisers said the evening would highlight the work of the Ahmadiyya Muslim community, in bringing different people and faiths together.
The AMA was established in Crawley in 1989, and has since promoted interfaith dialogue, and worked with local communities to encourage harmony and integration.
The association’s guiding message is “Love for all, hatred for none”.
The London Mosque served as the AMA’s UK headquarters when its Crawley community was formed. Noor Mosque was later built in Crawley in 2014.
The event will run from 6.15pm until 9.30pm and is being hosted and funded by the Crawley branch of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association.
Smart or casual dress is requested. Limited parking will be available at the mosque, with additional parking possible off-site in Langley Drive.
