Local residents were invited to the Visit My Mosque session in Finsbury Park on Sunday

FINSBURY Park Mosque welcomed more than 100 local residents on Sunday for an open day intended to “build bridges” between the communities.

The 10th annual “Visit My Mosque” event invited guests to learn more about Islam, and took as its theme “getting to know each other”.

People enjoyed tea, coffee, and cakes, and there was a special exhibition about Islamophobia.
Mohammed Kozbar, chair of Finsbury Park Mosque, said: “Events like Visit My Mosque remind us of the importance of connection and understanding in a world that can sometimes feel divided.

These moments of openness and dialogue allow us to challenge misconceptions and celebrate our shared values of kindness, respect and compassion.”

He added: “Finsbury Park Mosque is not only a place of worship but also a centre of learning, community service and compassion. From youth work and education to health and environmental initiatives, we are proud to play our part in supporting and strengthening the diverse fabric of Islington.”
