Introduction


Increasing Muslim population in the area

Muslim immigrants entering the area

Fully segregated area and improved facilities for ladies

Dedicated Janazah room

Reduce risk of flooding by moving current wash areas and WCs (basement) to the new building (above ground level)

Better equipped ablution areas, WCs and specialist disabled WCs.

Reasons for Expansion


22,000 Registered Muslims Those registered on the Electoral Roll

6,000 Unregistered Muslims Those not on the Electoral Roll such as Students, Foreigners,

Visitors and Refugees

Increasing Muslim Population in Croydon

Lack of Muslim facilities/prayer areas

Two Friday Congregations in many neighbouring mosques CMIC and Norbury Islamic Academy hold two Jumma prayers to cater for

the number of attendees Thornton Heath Islamic Centre are planning to hold two Jummas in the

near future

Lack of female facilities Sisters’ Islamic circles are sometimes held at their homes. CMIC is first to

provide basic facilities in South London for Sisters. No fully segregated female-only buildings can be found in the local area


Croydon Masjid was the first masjid to provide Janazah facilities in the South London area

Average of one Janazah is carried out by CMIC per week

The only other local masjids that provide basic Funeral services are Balham Masjid Streatham Masjid (started only recently)

Lack of Funeral Services in Croydon and the Surrounding Areas


6,000 – 8,000 people attend the masjid on Eid day The masjid normally establishes four Eid congregations prayers. On a few occasions a fifth prayer

has been established pushing the total numbers up to 10,000!

800 – 1,000 males attend the masjid during daily Taraweeh prayers in Ramadhan

100 – 150 females regularly attend the Taraweeh prayers and the speeches that follow

70 % of the attendees in Friday prayer are working class people

Attendees of the Masjid


Opportunity to Build Unlike other mosques in the locality who are restricted in terms of expansion, we are fortunate to have no restrictions to expand

this part of the building

Donations & Loans Many people and local businesses are willing to donate and/or provide Qardh-e-Hasanah for around £100k - £200k for this noble

project

Management Investments The current management team and trustees, who have purchased two properties during their time in office, are excellent

investments in providing further funds for the day to day running of the masjid

Parking arrangements Local businesses including the neighbouring hotels and the Mayday Hospital have offered us full use of their parking areas on

Juma, Eid and special occasions

Local Support and Funding Opportunities


Lower Construction Costs Due to the current global financial crisis, the

costs of construction is lower in this current climate

Labour costs will be at the lowest for many years. This opportunity should not be missed as the cost of material is rising daily

Savings can be used to refurbish existing parts of the building

To maximise savings, building work should begin as soon as possible
