SLOWSPOKEs CC  - SLIC "The Return"

It has been nearly 4 years to the day a group of a dozen riders rode out over 2 days to raise £10,000 for the Slouth Lakes Islamic Centre (SLIC) project .  

2 days later the team returned to a huge welcome after riding 240km and raising over £100,000 for the project.

Building history in South Lakes

We’ve been working tirelessly behind the scenes and are thrilled to reconnect about the First Masjid Project. This is more than a building, it’s a lifeline for our community, shaping the hearts of our children and anchoring their identities firmly within the masjid. The closest masjid is currently a 100 mile round-trip, and our vision remains unwavering: to make the scenic South Lakes a place of choice for Muslim families.

Turning Trials into Triumphs

“Indeed, after hardship comes ease” (Qur'an 94:6).

The path has been challenging, with significant hurdles from Network Rail, the council, and local opposition. Yet, with Allah’s guidance, we’ve overcome these obstacles. Our focus is now on fulfilling pre-commencement conditions , including crucial highway improvements. The council want us to do this before we can start the foundations.

A seasoned contractor has been appointed to lead the construction phase Alhamdulillaah, ensuring every detail is handled with professionalism. We’ve finalised a well-crafted project timeline and construction plan, preparing us to move forward with determination. We have completed up to RIBA stage 3, and we aim to complete highway works by January 2025, in shaa Allah, setting the stage for foundation works to begin before Ramadan.

Join This Noble Journey

“Whoever builds a masjid for the sake of Allah, Allah will build for him a home in Jannah.” (Hadith)

We invite you to journey with us as we build not just the First Masjid, but a cornerstone for future generations in the lake district, for locals and tourists alike.
