About us
Al-Emaan Centre is run by members of the local community, for the local community
Following purchase of the century-old premises in October 2014, renovation work soon ensued. We sought to refurbish the infrastructure and apply a traditional design to the interior architecture, while seeking to respect the original foundations upon which it was built. Works completed in June 2016 and we have looked at realising our vision thereafter.
Al-Emaan Centre seeks to serve the purpose as a religious, spiritual, educational & community centre for the thriving Muslim population in and around Bromley. It aims to bring the community together as one, to provide a safe haven for families and the youth to grow and develop, and to nurture a generation of active Muslim role models to the society within which we live.
Our vision is one whereby people of different race, religion and culture can reside together in peace, harmony, and conformity with one another. We aim to engage with people of different faiths and backgrounds, with the aspiration of living in contentment with our neighbours and to increase mutual understanding. We hope that Bromley and the people of our Borough will be an example of this.
By treading in the footsteps of the Prophets (peace be upon them all), Al-Emaan Centre is founded upon the knowledge that change happens from within, and with the help of Allah can thereafter begin to spread, from individual to individual, community to community.
