  • For help to all human beings in any religion; Islam is for all. It can be a good start
  • A place where all Muslims, of all backgrounds, feel free and welcome to enter, seeing it as a place to escape or recharge. While this would greatly benefit the community, fears are that the centre might not be correctly speaking, used as a community centre, instead, only welcoming certain individuals which would lead to it rather being a private function centre
  • Youth activities; Library; Madressah classes for the 17 and above
  • Talks, big night events, social vents, etc; It should be open to all Muslims irrespective of beliefs. Let us leave the judging to ALLAH (SWT)
  • Badminton for men and ladies (separate days)
  • Weddings; talks and lectures; recreational facilities; community social activities; Eid lunches. Important that it be open to all
  • Community functions Eid functions religious talks, weddings, parties, women’s groups, men’s groups, youth groups, play groups, craft classes, Madressah classes, Quran classes, fashion parades, keep fit classes, community functions, trivia nights, shall I go on... or do u get the drift...
  • This should be the next priority for the Muslim community in Brisbane, now that we have our Mosques and schools established we need a place that as a community we can call our own, and it will be used for a host of reasons. It annoys me every time I go past some lovely huge church hall that the Christian communities can get over the bickering and petty differences and work as one to show the community what they can achieve. Unfortunately, our Muslim communities are still trying to criticize each other and work against each other to move forward as one. This is an absolute necessity with the number of people we have; I will guarantee that it will be booked out every week of the year... I will even volunteer to do the booking myself!!!
  • Sport and recreation [keeping youth out of trouble]; it may be difficult to get 100% support due to the geographical problems [too far for some]
  • There are a variety of uses that it could be used for - most of them already suggested by you. Community events, sports and recreation, meeting hall etc. etc.
  • 1)issues that have 2b discussed in private. 2)samaq don't have 2look 4venues as c.centre will do it. 3)let the gov.know that the c.centre is samaq's head quatters thus putting the muslims by large onto the map.
  • Badminton and indoor soccer
  • Eid and many community functions like the current Kuraby hall serves; I think its not for Crescents to get involved in the politics of Brisbane. You are a fine organization at bringing the community together, Please don't make the mistake of poking a finger at other matters and thus tainting your image.
  • Indoor sports for both sexes to use. Weddings, eids, all other functions. Madressa. Jamaat khaana. islamic library. Samaq and other organizations not use it as head quarters. Importantly it must be hired out.
  • it is supposedly being described as a community centre, however, it has already been described as a centre which Samaq would be able to use for convenience, clearly, forgetting that community is not confined to one group of brisbane businessmen
