Tower Hamlets Mosques vs Deen Companion

Tower Hamlets is a vibrant, culturally rich and diverse borough. It has a great religious heritage with many churches, temples, synagogues and mosques. Muslim history in the borough stretches back to the 19th century and the East London Mosque, the largest in Europe, is over 100 years old. Today, the borough has the largest Muslim population in the UK. To date, there are 47 mosques throughout the borough catering for worshippers and the community. Considering the size of Tower Hamlets this is an impressive figure. Having so many mosques within easy reach allows worshippers the opportunity, should they so wish, to pray at a different mosque for each prayer. However, there are only a few mosques in the borough with a fully functioning website, and fewer still, with an online prayer timetable. A need arose where all the timetables for the borough’s mosques could be accessed from one central point. Thus Tower Hamlets Mosques was born. For the moment, we have only included the prayer times as this is the main feature of the project. In the near future, we intend to add community events, announcements and record an overall picture of Muslim history in Tower Hamlets. Features include: - View the current Salat Beginning Times - View the prayer times at nearby mosques - View the Jumaah times at nearby mosques - Navigate to nearby mosques using maps apps
