Barking Mosque - London

The Barking Muslims Association {BMA} is a charitable trust registered with and overseen by the charities commission of England and Wales. In Islam, bodies have to be buried as quickly as possible and it is preferable to do it on the day the person dies. According to their belief, this is to enable the soul to reach its final resting place as soon as possible and to reduce suffering upon the body. Therefore, when a Muslim individual passes away, it is the responsibility of his family and his local Muslim community to wash him according to the Islamic rites of washing the deceased. The deceased’s body should be washed in a clean, secluded, and private location where clean water and soap is available. Carrying out the washing of a deceased person is an honourable task. Keeping this in mind, a new facility was designed with simplicity, integrity and respect, equipped with state-of-the-art washing equipment and accessories. It is ranked as one of the most respected and equipped facilities of the region.
