DEWSBURY TOWN HALL | SATURDAY 12TH JULY 2025
A truly historic and spiritually uplifting day as the Kiswat al-Kaaba Exhibition graced Dewsbury Town Hall – uniting heritage, faith, and community under one roof.
Organised with dedication and passion by Cllr Hanifa Darwan, Cllr Masood Ahmed, and Cllr Nosheen Dad, the event stood out as a shining example of collaboration and civic pride
A special mention and heartfelt appreciation to Cllr Yusra Hussain (Batley) for her tireless work behind the scenes – her commitment and leadership were instrumental in bringing this vision to life
Also in attendance and offering fantastic support:
Cllr Habiban Zaman
Cllr Ali Arshad
Cllr Kathy Scott
Iqbal Mohammed MP
Highlights of the Day: Major reveal of an extremely rare Ottoman Kaaba Door Cover in white silk and gold – a moment of awe for all in attendance
Three historic Kaaba Door Panels
Original Locks & Keys from the Two Holy Mosques
Samaadi Qandeel lanterns
Hizaam Belts from the Ottoman and Saudi eras
The day opened with a beautiful Adhan and Qur’an recitation, followed by a soulful duet by two Qaris, resonating deeply with all in the hall
Walkthrough experiences for:
• Civic leaders and dignitaries
• Schools and children
• Families and general public
This was not just a religious event – it was a multi-faith gathering, where individuals from diverse backgrounds and beliefs came together in unity, respect, and celebration of cultural and spiritual heritage
A powerful reminder that exhibitions like this empower communities, inspire youth, and foster harmony
Sincere thanks to the Kiswat al-Kaaba team, the councillors, the MP, and above all – the Dewsbury public – for making this moment unforgettable
