REMINDER – This is a reminder in addition to regular announcements and flyers handed out during Friday prayers over the last few weeks
The Annual General Meeting of the Letterkenny Islamic Association which represents Muslim communities in Letterkenny and the surrounding areas will take place this Sunday
Date: Sunday the 9th October
Time: Directly after Thuhr prayer (which takes place at 1:45)
Venue: Letterkenny Masjid – 2 Long Lane.
The AGM of the Letterkenny Islamic Association was postponed from the summer due to low turnout.
New Date and Time:
The Agenda for the AGM is as follows:
The current directors are: Dr. Numan Khan, Munir Ahmad and Tawfiq Azzenoud
All three directors are retiring from their positions and will not be running for re-election.
The current secretary, Amir Gamil, will also not be running for re-selection as secretary.
The current chairman is Dr. Raashid Rahmani. A new chairman will be elected.
The gentlemen above are not abandoning the masjid. All will continue to strive for the masjid for the sake of Allah. Some by continuing as part of the committee (if selected by the directors) and others by duaa. The intention of the above is to have renewed motivation and new faces.
We are all part of the community and we all have a responsibility to it.
We would like to see good engagement from all parts of the Muslim community in Letterkenny and the surrounding areas. All nationalities should take part.
The intention is to have a new board of directors that has:
One member from the Sudanese community.
One member from the Pakistani community.
Other members from the other communities (India, Egypt, Morocco, Nigeria etc).
We are all Muslims and nationality should not and does not matter. However, in order to make sure that everyone feels properly represented, we would like to see engagement from all communities.
If you are interested in running for election as director or you would like to nominate someone, please send an email. The position of director is of course open to brothers and sisters.

The location where Friday prayers are held is changing.
The number of people praying in Friday prayers in Letterkenny has grown in leaps and bounds over the last few years! On the one hand, this is a good thing as it means the numbers of Muslims in Letterkenny is growing alhamdulilah 🙂 On the other hand, it’s meant that we’ve had a challenge dealing with the numbers during Friday prayers.
Letterkenny General Hospital have been very accommodating over nearly 20 years and the Muslim community would like to thank them for this. However, the growing numbers have caused issues and we needed to find an alternative location to pray.
Starting from the 27th of November onwards, Friday prayers will now be held at the Letterkenny Community Centre.
Please take note of the following information:
Start Date: 27th of November
Khutba Start Time: 1:15 PM (prayers held from 1 to 2 PM)
Venue: Letterkenny Community Centre (community building – to the right of the main building)
Please note the earlier time of the khutba which is now 15 minutes earlier at 1:15 PM
Please see the map to the Letterkenny Community Centre below.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
In celebration of Eid ul-Adha, there will be an Eid party in the Letterkenny Community centre insha Allah.
