Mosque Stories

A detailed and documented list of Southwark Council's attempts to cover up all the problems created, and regulations broken, by a mosque which they still allow to operate despite the tenancy agreement stating that it should officially be a Community Training and Advice Centre. Each chapter has a short version, meant as an overview of the event, and a longer version, which contains more details and evidence. It would be great to hear from people who have experienced similar issues, and share success stories, how they were achieved, and what can be done to help those still struggling. somethingisrotteninsouthwark ( at ) gmail ( dot ) com

Ghoga was an essential historic port and a thriving trading center on the Arabian sea from the 5th Century C.E. until the development of Bhavnagar in the 19th century. Ghoga is a census town with a population of 12208, according to 2011 India's census. It is strategically located on the bay of Khambhat (Cambay) in the Kathiawar/Saurashtra region on Gujarat. It is about 122 Miles (196KM) from Ahmedabad-Gujarat. Some Muslim Arab traders who landed at Ghoga around the early 7th century built a mosque around 624-625 A.D. It was the time when Qibla faced Masjid-E-Aqsa or Baitul Muqaddus-Jerusalem-instead of Kaaba Sharif in Mecca. Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) received "Wahi," commanding him to change the Qibla from Jerusalem (in the North) to Mecca-(in the South) in around 624-625 A.D. This ancient Masjid, in Ghoga, locally known as the Barwada Masjid or the Juni (old) Masjid, still has its original Qibla facing Jerusalem. Thus, this Masjid, therefore, predates the previously believed oldest Masjid, the Cheraman Juma Masjid in Kerala, built-in 628 -629A.D.with its Qibla facing Mecca as mandated at that time. It is further collaborated by its inscriptions in Old Arabic on its Mihrab.

“The chasm that lies between Hindus and Muslims may be oceans wide, but it’s only ankle deep. The most timid of men could cross it, but only the bravest will take the first step.” This allegorical love story charts the odyssey of Usmaan Raheem, an American-educated architect who returns to Pakistan, only to feel like a misfit in his own, beloved city. Amidst the grappling on the Pakistan-India border, he is rescued from his isolation by an unlikely source, a Hindu servant girl named Asha. Asha’s love is the trigger that propels Usmaan through the splendors of Lahore and the machinations of its people. The partition of India still flares hot in the backs of their eyes, until it finally melts the bonds of their delicate friendship. In a desperate act of restitution, Usmaan takes aim at the very faith that raised him, but just how far does he go to recover the pieces of his past, and whom does he ultimately challenge in his battle to be whole again? __________ This story is complete and is copyrighted; please respect all infringement laws.
