Please&nbsp;<span class=\"caps\">DO<\/span>&nbsp;<span class=\"caps\">NOT<\/span>&nbsp;take these recommendations and apply them partially&nbsp;<span class=\"caps\">OR<\/span>&nbsp;without adequately educating your communities. The Mosque committees need to work at the grassroots level to calm their communities, and&nbsp;<em>educate them on these measures<\/em>&nbsp;and why they are being taken.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Advisory for Mosques<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There has been fundamental shift in the past few days towards self-isolation and social distancing. Muslims (in line with others) in Britain should stay at home and should not emerge unless it is absolutely essential and necessary. When there is a need to emerge, appropriate precautions as advised by&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/coronavirus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Public Health England<\/a>&nbsp;should be taken.<\/p>\n<p>While we are isolated at homes, it is necessary for our homes to continue to be beacons of light and guidance. In these trying times, it is more necessary than ever to turn towards&nbsp;<em>Alla\u0304h Ta\u2019a\u0304la<\/em>&nbsp;in repentance, and strenuously engage in acts of worship, charity and prayers for everyone. In addition, everyone is urged to provide support to each other in the communities so we can all get through these trying times.<\/p>\n<p>We will emerge from this pandemic, but let\u2019s all stand together and face this challenge with unity and discipline while keeping true to the teachings of our religion.<\/p>\n<p>Due to the urgency, the need and strictness of the isolation, it is acknowledged that normal congregational activities within the Mosque cannot continue. Thus the advisory for the Mosque has been revised as follows:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>All Mosque activities including public congregations&nbsp;<em>Sala\u0304h&nbsp;<\/em>should be suspended until further notice. However, use the Radio transmitters or the Internet to continue to educate the British Muslim communities. We urge Scholars to increase live interactions using Social Media (i.e. Facebook, Twitter, YouTube etc) and other technical aids at their disposal.<\/li>\n<li>Activities relating to children and the Maktab can also continue&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wifaqululama.co.uk\/covid19-maktab\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">remotely. We have reviewed several tools<\/a>&nbsp;which can be used for this purpose.<\/li>\n<li>We advise that due to isolation guidelines, a select few individuals should be designated to continue with congregational&nbsp;<em>Fardh<\/em>&nbsp;(obligatory)&nbsp;<em>Sala\u0304h<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Jumua\u0304h<\/em>&nbsp;(Friday) prayers in the Mosque.
