Visit Muslims of Norwich website.. There you will find their activity. These sincere brothers are bit unorthodox but do offer different insight and I know of revert brother who attend Shaikh Shalim Dhorat lecture and he also attends classes by other scholars and also visits Muslims of Norwich and his view is each provides different and complementry understanding that benefits the soul and mind. But one must have an appreciation of Shari principle before one looking into other subtle islamic sciences. Only the one can fully benefit spiritually and externally.
A knows best

ASWRWB brother Nomadic,

Jazak Allah kheir for you reply. I had a look on Muslims of Norwich website and I found there activates. I wonder if you know whether they open round the day or only during prayers.

You said "visits Muslims of Norwich and his view is each provides different and complementry understanding ", what is it different to and complementary to what? Do you mean they don't follow sunnah and quran?

Do you or your friend lives in Norwich or know more information about it. I have looked some of the information on the net, but there are some quires that I couldn't find. Since your friend knows about Norwich and seems he is a good practicing brother from how high you speak off him, and if he doesn't mind help me, I would be grateful if I can exchange contacts with him to ask some questions.

Thank you again for your help, and sorry if I am asking too much.
May Allah reward you in this life and hereafter.

On the contrary, the muslims of norwich are one of the most interesting crowd. They bring a set of unique experience just as the people from Arabia and Indo Pak and Far East and Magrib regeion. Muslims of Norwich has strong connection with scholars from Morocco and the Magreb regeion and you will see certain thing which is unique to this part of Sub Sahran regeion. Some of the scholar work closely with tradtional scholars in UK from Indo Pak regeion.
The reason for my statment was that often people only exposed a set of norm think anything different to be strange. But Mashallah the muslims of Norwich crew are very reputable.

ASWRWB,

Jazak Allah kheir for your reply. I agree with your reply. I have been to the mosque once round 2 years ago and I did like it a lot. That’s why, Inshallah, I am planning to go stay for a while. I listened to some of their khutab and attend their Ramadan serious online, which mashallah was great and very useful. I felt the Moroccan feel especially from Sheikh Abdasamd Clarke. I believe I understand know what you mean about being different, and its fine with me Inshallah.
Thanks again for your help, please don't forget to post if you got more info for me.

From your posts, You seems to know a lot about the mosque and Sheihk Clarke, Have you been to the mosque before?

May Allah always show you the righteous path and give you the means to follow it.

Loads of people from Norfolk and Nottingham and only one answer, that's bit disappointing!
Any more answers?

Bismillah
I know Imam Abdasamd Clark and have met him and visited him last June the day after book launch of Shaikh Dan Fado - Islam in Africa series. If you are a new muslim, then you ought to approach your local qualified seassoned scholar and at the same time appreciate Muslim do not have a monolitich culture or even understnading of the faith... It does not mean anything and everything goes but the limit of variation is set by the Usul of Shairah.
MAsalam
