‘iPad Imam’ Impresses Gloucester

When imam Hassan came to Gloucester, no one expected that the young imam with an iPad would manage to build all these bridges and correct misconceptions about Islam in only three months.

“I was at university for 10 years studying Islam and after graduating I was looking for a job and before I knew it I was in Hull, as an Imam at a mosque,” Masjid-E-Noor mosque Imam Hassan, who is originally from Leicester, told Gloucester Citizen.

“It was a predominately a white area, so I worked very closely with public sector organizations providing training sessions on how they could improve working with Muslim families in the area.”

Taking the job three months ago, the young imam started working on building bridges of understanding between Muslims and the wider community.

His cooperation extended from community groups to police officers and NHS officials.

“It was basic things like teaching them the etiquette of how to enter a Muslim homeowner’s house, how to treat a Muslim patient or how to deal with domestic violence cases,” Imam Hassan said.

“It was an extremely successful project. I also worked closely with Humberside Police and the NHS. It gave them a chance to understand the basics of Islam and learn the meaning of certain words such as hijab, a head covering worn by some Muslim women.

“In the next few weeks I am giving similar workshops with the public sector in Tewkesbury.

Imam Hassan, who memorized the Noble Qur’an by heart, said he wants to use a ‘forward thinking approach’ at Masjid-E-Noor.

“I am very open-minded and I try to use a forward thinking approach,” he said.

“I must be the only Imam in England to use an iPad to read sermons from.

“People in the mosque said ‘wow, he is using an iPad’. I use an app on my iPad to download books and notes and I have a long list of sermons I use. I don’t like to waste paper and I don’t have lots of folders of paper, it is not good for the environment.”
