Imam Qari Asim, chairman of the Mosques and Imams National Advisory Board, said Queen Elizabeth II had a 'dignified relationship' with Muslims across the world
The mood was sombre here as thousands of Muslim worshippers gathered at the city’s mosques for Friday prayers. Groups of men and women, young and old, spoke of their shock and sadness at the Queen ’s passing with many calling her an “icon” and a “constant reassuring presence” in the lives of all.
Waheed Ali said: “It is a huge loss for us. The Queen was someone I always looked to for solace especially in difficult times like during the pandemic. When the nation scraped its knee, she was there with the TCP.
“I find it extraordinary that just two days ago she was welcoming the new Prime Minister. She was dutiful to the end. In a world of celebrity and scandal she exuded sense and stability.”
Imam Alyas Karmani, of the Muhammadi Masjid, also paid tribute to the late monarch.
He said: “We have known the Queen all our lives. She was the mother of our nation and for Muslims the mother’s status is so high.
“Losing her is so sad for all of us and we pray Almighty Allah sends peace and perseverance upon her family so that they are able to endure their loss.”
Imam Qari Asim, chairman of the Mosques and Imams National Advisory Board, said Elizabeth II had a “dignified relationship” with Muslims across the world.
He added: “Many mosques are paying tribute to the Queen and expressing gratitude for her outstanding and distinguished life of public service. The Queen had a deep respect for all faiths and beliefs.”
During Friday prayers at Bradford Central Mosque, Molana Wajid Hussain broke from his traditional sermon to pay a tribute.
He said: “British Muslims stand in unity with the British people at this time of deep sorrow. Millions will greatly miss her. She left an unparalleled legacy of co-operation in the Commonwealth for democracy, common prosperity and peace. She deservedly will have a special place in the hearts of her subjects and the annals of history.”
Accountant Sadia Khan, 26, right top, said: “She was an icon for everyone. I was watching the news with my family and we were all so upset when the announcement was made that the Queen had passed away. She was an amazing woman, she was the glue that kept her family together, who knows what will happen now?”
Biological Sciences researcher Jabbar Ali, 44, said his grandparents were all royalists. “This feels like a personal loss. We have such a strong attachment to the Queen. My grandparents came to this country and I remember we always celebrated every royal occasion.”
Sajid Munir said if it was not for the Queen his family would not have come here. “We owe the Queen for the fact our parents were able to come here to build better lives. Ruling for 70 years is a monumental achievement, we won’t see another like her,” he said.

Thousands of young British Muslims have gathered to pledge their allegiance and loyalty to Great Britain and pay tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II.
Members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community started preparing the National Ijtema, a three-day Islamic congregation, back in November.
Pictures show a special exhibition created in honour of the late monarch and attendees queueing to sign a book of condolence at the youth event on Sickles Lane in Hampshire.
Indoor and outdoor sports competitions had been planned alongside academic competitions but this has been cancelled as a mark of respect.
Meanwhile, the flags of the four nations and the Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association flag have been flying at half-mast.
The theme of the long weekend is ‘Honouring our Pledge’, with people invited to let their pride shine through in being both British and Muslim.
However, many of those who gathered also used the moment to honour Her Majesty, who a group leader said British Muslims are ‘forever grateful to’.
Abdul Quddus Arif, President of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association said: ‘The true Islam is a religion of compassion and kindness to all, regardless of faith, ethnicity, gender or beliefs.
‘We firmly believe in the power of integration and find there to be no conflict between being a Muslim and British at the same time.

‘As British Muslims, we are saddened by the demise of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II and we stand together with the Nation during this difficult time.
‘Islam teaches us to be loyal to the country we live in and this is the theme of this year’s Ijtema.
‘We pledge our loyalty to Great Britain and King Charles III and we hope and pray that this country continues to prosper under the reign of our new King.’
The World Head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, His Holiness, Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, paid tribute when the news broke that the Queen had died peacefully at Balmoral on Thursday.
Naming it ‘a truly great loss for the United Kingdom and Commonwealth’, he added: ‘Ahmadi Muslims will remain forever grateful for the way Her Majesty served her people with immense dignity, grace and unwavering dedication throughout her long reign.
‘On behalf of the worldwide Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, I wish to express our most sincere condolences to His Majesty, King Charles III, the members of the Royal family and to the nation.
‘May God Almighty grant them all the patience and strength to deal with this tremendous loss.’
