On Saturday 18 December more than 30 Khuddam and Atfal carried out a snow clearing Waqar-e-Amal at Fazl Mosque and the surrounding streets. Heavy snow had fallen on Saturday and around 12.00pm, whilst the snow was still fresh, Khuddam converged at Fazl Mosque to clear the snow and ensure there was safe access in the vicnity of Fazl Mosque.
The number of Khuddam outnumbered the tools available to clear up the snow hence local Khuddam were asked to bring shovels and anything which could assist in this clear up. Moreover, a separate team was sent to buy equipment so we would be well covered in the future.
All the perimiter inside the mosque was cleared including all access points. Paths were created leading from the entrance of Qasr-e-Khilafat to Fazl Mosque, Mahmood Hall, Nusrat Hall, Langar Khana, Security Walkways and all other amenities to provide a clear walkway. By Zuhr/Asr the inside perimeter had been cleared so that members could safely attend Salaat. Also, the outside walkway to the mosque had also been cleared making it easier for people to attend the mosque.
A snowman was also built by Atfal and Khuddam outside the entrance of the Mosque to the amusement of all.
After Zuhr/Asr the Waqar-e-Amal continued with Mosque Qiadat clearing the reaminder of the street and clearing the entrances of Sarai Khidmat, and other Jama'at buildings. Also, entrances of neighbours' properties were also cleaned. The Waqar-e-Amal finsihed around 4:00pm. The neighbours appreciated the work done by the Khuddam.
On Sunday 19 December a further Waqar-e-Amal was carried out clearing the area in and around Fazl Mosque of snow which had built up from the previous evening.
Also, all other Qiadats carried out local Waqar-e-Amal in and around their streets. West Hill Qiadat cleared Granville Road whilst Mosque West cleared Skeen Hill. This meant all streets around Gressenhall Road as far as Skeen Hill comprising a 2 mile radius had been cleared in one direction.
Qiadats further away from Fazl Mosque, such as Wandsworth, Wimbledon Park, Clapham and Earslfield carried out Waqar-e-Amal in their local areas.
Apart from this, Khuddam from Muqami sourced equipment for Fazl Mosque from all local DIY centres so that the Jama'at had enough supply of equipment. This equipment would be under the supervision of Muqami Region. Also, grit was sourced from Baitul Futuh so Fazl Mosque had its own supply as all local shops had run out.
Overall, more than 50 Khuddam were involved in this Waqar-e-Amal. Moreover, Huzur (atba) graced Muqami with his presence twice on the Saturday, particulary by taking photos.
