History of Havering Islamic Cultural Centre ‘Real and True facts’

Please take time to read and pass to others in order to learn the truth about HICC. Romford already has a mosque i.e. Romford Mosque, 29 Lessington Avenue. 500 people are worshipping/performing all religious obligations, since 1996. Romford mosque is a highly vital hub of the Havering community. Thus, it is not true that there will be any loss of worshipping facilities in Havering as claimed by HICC. Basically, the Havering council must not give permission under any circumstances as it is surrounded by housing and is a densely populated area of Romford, highly dangerous corner. 1000 Individual worshippers will need at least 400 parking spaces for such a facility. HICC is falsely using the name Havering Mosque to cheat the Muslim community for money. As per Islamic law HICC, educational trust, community centres, Islamic Trust, Islamic centres are not mosques. There are strict rules for all mosques and for all Trustees. Food bank/soup kitchen is not allowed in a Mosque. Public and users bringing their own tins of alcohol/wine and consume in HICC prayer place. HICC should be based in Noak Hill or Havering at Bower. The trustees of HICC have promoted false information and created division in the Muslim community and destroyed good community cohesion for personal gain. For example, the food bank they run serves non-halal food, further contradicting their claims of being Mosque, which is completely false due to hypocrisy. HICC claims falsely that they have been established since 1982. This is untrue. I was present at the first meeting of HICC on 4-10-1992 (copy enclosed). The late Dr S. I Haider set up Essex Islamic Association and in the first function money was collected and current members of HICC fought immediately. No work was done at all, and money was kept in the bank, instead of returning to individual donors. After several years, money was transferred with interest, dishonestly to HICC (copy enclosed) because the late Dr Haque was also a signatory who joined and set up HICC 4-10-1992). Romford mosque has been in existence since 1981 at various locations in Havering and since 1996 at Lessington Avenue, Romford. Rather all HICC were behind Mr Siddiqui as worshippers at Princes Road, for 5 years and later on set up HICC in 1992. They started fights for power even physically attacked Mr Siddiqui. Romford Mosque moved to another location and all HICC troublemakers were expelled. HICC falsely claim there is no Mosque in Havering, while collecting money fraudulently, and bought 91 waterloo road for £350,000 (copy enclosed). It was a big mistake to give planning permission without car parking facility and a lot of trouble and nuisance to the neighbourhood. Recently they have falsely claimed and collected money £900,000 for Romford Mosque project, which is nothing to do with “Romford Mosque project.” This has nothing to do with Romford Mosque at all and nor is Romford Mosque collecting any money at all which is a great cheat of money (copy enclosed). Mr Siddiqui set up a charity: Muslim children in need and raised some money. HICC was not involved and nor is a member of the charity. Two trustees of HICC, Mr M Rafi and Mr Farooq-Uddin went to Bank and gave undertaking and withdrew the money and gave it to Mr Mousa who caught a flight the next day with the cash £3700. Upon request of Mr Siddiqui the police seized the £3700 and Mr Siddiqui got a court order. After several months they came to Mr Siddiqui and asked for forgiveness. Mr Tariq Loon, the chair of HICC prayed several years behind Mr Siddiqui, but write false comments to Havering Council due to hatred and enemity (copy enclosed). HICC also joined the Ahmadiyya women’s association (copy of constitution enclosed and photos). HICC mentioned remove the “Ahmadiyya” and just name it Muslim women’s association. Please see comments in a newspaper. HICC is an opportunist organisation and continuously damage Islam for personal gain, and using their power to mislead the uneducated public (Dadagiri).

Conclusion

HICC is not Havering Mosque, as they do not accept or follow basic Islamic principles. HICC do not accept the Prophet Muhammad is the last and final prophet, that is why they join the Ahmadiyya association. Please don’t donate and don’t support them and pray in this organisation as it is an opportunist organisation with a bleak past and present. HICC is a Masjid Zarar.
