Ramadan Greetings

Ramadan Greetings

The Islamic month of Ramadan, which is now upon us, is a time of self reflection and spiritual development, and a chance to meet with friends and associates in order to strengthen ties.

The Barnet Muslim Forum, on behalf of the Muslim Community in Barnet, would like to wish all friends well and hopes to meet them at our annual Iftar Dinner.

We pray that our fast and prayers are accepted in this auspicious month of God.

Congratulations to Barnets Council and Councillors

With the results of the local elections announced, The Barnet Muslim Forum would like to congratulate the councillors who have retained their seats and would like to welcome the new councillors.

Barnet is a model Borough and we have every confidence that we can continue to be that in the future, strengthening community relations and working together for our common good.

Congratulations to our MPs

The Barnet Muslim Forum would like to congratulate the newly elected MPs for Barnet, Teresa Villiers, Mike Free and Matthew Offord.

We look forward to working closely together to build upon our vibrant, harmonious and engaged society,

Overseas voters

With the opinion polls tightening, the estimated 2.5 million Britons living abroad may well swing the result of the forthcoming General Election. If you have friends and family living abroad now is the time to get them to register to vote – overseas registrations need to be submitted by 1 April 2010 to allow enough time for post, etc. ahead of the election. So please pass this message on straight way.

Every British citizen who has been registered to vote in the UK within the last 15 years is eligible to vote in UK Parliamentary
(general) elections and European Parliamentary elections in the UK.

If you were too young to register when you left the UK, you can still register as an overseas voter so long as your parent or guardian was registered to vote in the UK and you left the UK within the last 15 years.
