INVITATION FOR SABAH AL AHMED MASJID AND ISLAMIC EDUCATION CENTRE AT CIC OPEN DAY

We are pleased to cordially invite you to attend Sabah Al Ahmed Masjid and Islamic Education Centre of Canberra Islamic Centre Open Day, as part of the second annual National Mosque Open Day, on Saturday, October 27th 2018 between 10am and 4:00 pm at 221 Clive Steele Avenue, Monash, ACT 2904.

National Mosque Open Day is an initiative proudly supported by the Department of Social Services and organised by the Lebanese Muslim Association in Sydney. This event will again see a number of mosques around the country opening their doors to the wider Australian public. We

aim to go some of the way to improving social cohesion and breaking down various misconceptions and misunderstandings, by providing an engaging opportunity for education

and discourse between Muslims and non-Muslims.

The event will be community and family centred; there will be tours of the mosque, opportunities for engagement with local Muslims and Q&A with religious elders.

It would be a pleasure to host you and your family on that day.

The Centre is a focal point for all Muslims in Canberra, providing a place for prayers, Islamic education and to seek Imam guidance. It also serves as a place for the community to meet for cultural events, exhibitions, access reference books, social and religious gatherings and functions.

The Centre represents the Muslim community to the media and local and federal government agencies and plays an important role in the community, and Inshaa’Allah it will continue to do so with the continued support, donations and hard work from it’s members and supporters. The Australian National Islamic Library is a public library housed within the CIC complex, and it provides a large range of books and publications on Islam and other religions.

A dedicated place for prayers separate from the main CIC building was a community need and as such Masjid project was launched in 2011. Initially with the community financial support project was started but later on with the generous financial support from the Government of Kuwait Sabah Al Ahmad Masjid and Islamic Education Centre was completed on 4th May 2018. Below are some photos of the Masjid opening and other events and festivals after the opening of Masjid.
