Episode 33: Interview with Trustee Omar at the Al-Emaan Centre, Keston

In this episode of the Bromley Buzz podcast, Darren Weale interviews Omar, a Trustee of the Al-Emaan Centre, or Mosque, in Keston, from within the building. Omar explains the meaning of the name of the centre, talks about the call to prayer, and reflects on the history and design of the mosque.

A local doctor, Omar provides an insight into his own upbringing and how local Muslim people came together before the centre officially opened in 2016, as it approaches its 6th anniversary in 2022. 

We take in other topics such as prophetic remedies, the sisters circle, socks, and the importance of cake in the life of the mosque, notably in the Bromley Three Faiths Group, and in Peace of Cake walks. Omar describes charity work undertaken with a community centre in Penge and with a local church in Hayes. He also talks about the outreach undertaken with local schools and scout groups, the covid vaccination clinic, and he invites listeners to email and visit the centre.
