# East Sussex Islamic Association
East Sussex Islamic Association, based in Saint Leonards-on-Sea, operates Hastings Mosque and Madrasa as a centre for Islamic worship, education and community engagement. Serving the Hastings and Rother areas, the organisation provides daily prayer facilities with five daily prayers (Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha) alongside Islamic education programmes for children through their Madrasa.
The mosque functions as more than a place of worship—it operates as a hub for spiritual learning, community gatherings and social support. The association has served the local Muslim community for over 30 years, providing prayer spaces, educational initiatives, and organising major religious celebrations including Eid festivals and community open days.
What distinguishes this organisation is its commitment to inclusive community engagement. They actively invite neighbours and the wider public to participate in events such as Visit My Mosque Day, demonstrating a dedication to interfaith understanding. Their Madrasa programme celebrates children's educational achievements whilst teaching Islamic principles and values. The association also hosts lectures and conferences on Islamic topics, such as discussions on social media etiquette within Islamic framework.
Currently, the organisation is undertaking an ambitious new mosque building project to address increased community demand and expand facilities for prayer spaces, education and social programmes. This expansion reflects their growth and commitment to serving both Muslim congregants and the broader community through education and charitable initiatives.
