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)

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

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
