Signs of the final hour series

The branch of Islamic theology concerning the end times, has been a topic of deep intrigue and importance within Muslim thought for centuries.

It encompasses various events and signs leading up to the Day of Judgment, known as Yawm al-Qiyamah, where individuals will be held accountable for their actions in this life.

Each week we will explore the key aspects of the final hour, its significance in Islamic belief and how we can prepare ourselves.

Path to perfection – Monthly Sisters’ Programme

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:

“Whoever takes a path upon which to obtain knowledge, Allah makes the path to Paradise easy for him.”

Sahih Muslim, Sunan Tirmidhi

It’s common for women in Muslim communities to feel that there isn’t enough happening for them in the masjid, or that if there is, their obligations to their children or other commitments prevent them from attending.

This is why Greenbank Masjid have scheduled continuing monthly talks for the sisters delivered by Shaykh Hamzah.

The talks will often focus on religious teachings, providing spiritual guidance and insights into the Quran, Hadith, and Islamic principles.

We are hopeful that this will help sisters deepen their understanding of Islam and strengthen their faith Inshā’Allāh.

📅: Sunday 23rd June 2024
🕰: After Zuhr (1:45pm), Talk starts at 2:05pm
🕌: Greenbank Masjid, Greenbank Road, BS5 6HE

Weekly hour of Eman

“let’s sit and strengthen our belief in Allah together” , this was the attitude of our Prophet’s ﷺ companions when they met each other. They encourage each other to gather and sit to remind one another of Allah (SWT) and renew their Eman.


Following the path of the companions , we’re so excited to announce a series of free – weekly lessons for Arabic speaking sisters every Tuesday from 12:00pm-2:00pm at Greenbank Masjid.

The lessons will cover different Islamic topics in Seerah, Aqedah, Ahadeeth and tafsir.
It will be our pleasure to welcome all sisters in the lessons soon.

كان السلف يتواصون فيما بينهم، ويتناصحون بزيادة الإيمان، فيقول بعضهم لبعض: “هيا بنا نؤمن ساعة”، “تعالوا فلنذكر الله ونزدد إيمانا” ، “تعالوا نذكره بطاعته لعله يذكرنا بمغفرته”.

واتباعاً لنهج السلف الصالح، وسيراً على خطاهم ، يسعدنا دعوتكم لحضور الدرس الأسبوعي للسيدات ” تعالوا بنا نؤمن ساعة “، لنقضي بعض الوقت في ذكر الله تعالى، وتجديد الإيمان من خلال مجموعة من الدروس المتنوعة والمهمة والشيقة.
ننتظركم بكل شوق بمسجد جرين بنك، كل ثلاثاء من الساعة ١١ صباحاً وحتى الساعة ١ ظهراً.
الدعوة عامة لجميع الأخوات الناطقات باللغة العربية والدخول مجاني.
