OUR MISSION
The purpose for which the Indonesian Islamic Centre (IIC) – London was formed
To receive, administer and distribute funds to preserve and teach the religion of Islam; perpetuate the social, moral, and religious standards of Indonesian Muslims in the United Kingdom.
To promote the understanding and respect between Muslim and Non-Muslim communities throughout the United Kingdom and Europe.
To help Non-Muslim communities, organizations and the British government to understand that Islam is a peaceful religion, anti crime, radicalism and terrorism.
WE HAVE MORE THAN 3000 INDONESIAN MUSLIM IN LONDON
that have been living in social and spiritual activities.
Our ProgramOUR GOALS 2017-2020
Our goal in the next 3 years will be to acquire the Mosque as well as Indonesian Islamic Centre functions.
There are around 150 mosques and Islamic Centres in UK. Almost all migrant communities from Muslim-majority countries have their own mosque in the UK. There are mosques managed by Malaysian, Saudi Arabian, Pakistani, Bangladesh, Somalian etc.
As the country with the largest number of Muslims in the world, and with over 3000 Indonesian Muslims in the UK, until now, Indonesia has not had its own mosque. All religious activities carried out since 2003 in the building which is primarily used for residential purposes.
The congregation numbers of the IIC-London is ever growing, alongside their activities. The current IIC building is no longer sufficient for the growing numbers of Indonesian Muslims.
We are now actively gathering funds in the hope to buy a larger building that has permission to host a religious community.
Unlike now, where such activities are limited, without permission to host religious communities and activities. To achieve this, in 2017 we have viewed one building which can house an Islamic Centre and mosque. The cost of the acquisition and renovation of the building is £1.6 million or equivalent to Rp 26 billion. The expansion plans of the building costing £900,000 or equivalent to Rp 14 billion bringing the total needs of funds to £2.5 million or equivalent to Rp 40 billion. To find out more about our fundraising plans, please download the PROPOSAL OF INDONESIAN ISLAMIC CENTRE (IIC) – London MOSQUE ACQUISITION. here:
Product and Services of the Islamic Centre :
1. Mosque
The mosque has an important role in the life of Muslims. It is not only a place of gatherings Muslims visit 5 times a day but also for Friday prayers, and other gatherings on special Islamic days i.e. Iedul Fitri, Iedul Adha etc. This room capacitates for 1.000 people.
2. Classrooms
The Classrooms function as an education centre especially for young Indonesian Muslims. Many young Muslims were born and raised in England. There will be classes for them to strengthen their Islamic values. There will be independent classes for Qur’an, Arabic and Islamic studies.
3. Library, Bookshop and Muslim Clothes Shop
A library is a treasure-house of knowledge. They are one of the main sources of knowledge so that is why having a library cannot be avoided. In recent years the internet has revolutionized the concept of libraries. Information technology now plays an important role in improving the e-library or online facilities. The existence of bookshop and selling Muslim clothes creates income for IIC.
4. Restaurant
Indonesian restaurant is one of the keys to the economic sustainability of IIC. It would be strategic for IIC to have a restaurant that provides the daily meal at the exit of the masjid. Occasionally, the restaurant can also be used to host functions, study circles, and educational dinner. London has plenty of Asian restaurants but only a few Indonesian restaurants. The combination of a mosque, education centre and restaurant, library, a shop would be perfect.
