East London Mosque- a message from Senior Imam, Shaykh Mohammed Mahmoud

In response to the Muslim population concerns about vaccination, East London Mosque and Muslim Centre have created a message targeted at the Muslim community in Tower Hamlets. 

Head Imam, Shaykh Abdul Qayum, who himself insha’Allah is recovering from COVID-19, has this message:

“This pandemic has been a trial for humanity, but Allah reassures us in the Qur’an that after hardship comes ease. I have listened carefully to the advice of Muslim medical experts. Let us take the vaccine when it is offered to us, and pray that insha’Allah it brings us the benefit we seek. Our thoughts and prayers are with the many people who have lost loved ones, and we are grateful for the dedication and commitment of NHS and frontline workers who are helping those afflicted by COVID-19.”
