Little piece of Mecca mentions that free tours are sometimes run of the Lakemba mosque. It might be a way to get photos of the building. Andjam 02:38, 14 June 2006 (UTC) reply

Is "Imam Ali Mosque" the correct name for this place?

I doubt very much that it's called "Imam Ali Mosque". -- Shoejar ^{talk/ edits}

Go on, dont keep me in suspense! - tell me why you doubt this. (humour) Some people are calling something "Imam Ali Mosque". SmithBlue 14:26, 26 January 2007 (UTC) reply

Have 1 of lawyer/lecturer giving mosque name as: Imam Ali ben Abi Taleb Mosque.

http://www.altmuslim.com/perm.php?id=1606_0_25_0_C35 SmithBlue 23:23, 26 January 2007 (UTC) Have finally found a clearly verifiable source for "Sunday name". see article. SmithBlue 09:45, 27 January 2007 (UTC) reply

That's inconclusive. I know that the majority of the congregation at this mosque - of which I'm a part - call it simply "Lakemba mosque". There's no reason why Wikipedia should refer to it as otherwise, when there's no agreement on what else to call it. It's a needless bother. -- Shoejar ^{talk/ edits}

I'm not suggesting changing the name of the article - it does appear from Irfan Yusuf's article in a reputable published source that "Lakemba Moseque" has a formal title of "Imam Ali ben Abi Taleb Mosque". Could you check up on this name - as you can see an abreviated version of it appears on www.arabicpages.com.au and http://www.yahyasafi.com/biography_e.html

I'm not asking you to prove a negative - just see what people in the organisational side of things say. If that fails please ask Sheikh Yahya Safi why "Imam Ali Mosque" is on his biography webpage. SmithBlue 12:57, 28 January 2007 (UTC) reply

From looking around the Web, it appears that it is referred to as the "Imam Ali Mosque". I don't know if that's the official name. I might be wrong about what the "majority of the congregation" call it, also. -- Shoejar ^{talk/ edits}

I'd never heard of "Imam Ali ben Abi Taleb" till i started researching Sydney Muslim culture. I have found another variation on the name, "Masjid Ali Bin Abi Taleb, known as Lakemba Mosque", from Sheikh Shady's bio on http://www.sydneyic.org.au/Sh_Shady.html SmithBlue 10:17, 2 February 2007 (UTC) reply

We report that Shaykh Safi, the Imam of the mosque, issued a fatwa relating to Christmas in 2012. Another paragraph has been added reporting that Safi had issued a similar fatwa in 2016. I formed the opinion that the 2016 report probably related to the 2012 fatwa, so I deleted the paragraph with the edit summary "Already covered in earlier paragraph, assuming that this is the 2012 fatwa". The paragraph has been restored with the edit summary "restored 2016 fatwa, this is not about 2012."

I am still of the opinion that there is no adequate evidence that a second fatwa relating to Christmas was issued in 2016, for the following reasons:

For these reasons I will delete the paragraph. Please do not restore it without discussing the issues here.

If it can be established that there a second fatwa was issued in 2016 then it should be described in the same paragraph as the almost-identical 2012 fatwa. Verbcatcher ( talk) 19:21, 23 December 2016 (UTC) reply

Over at Talk:Al Noor Mosque, Christchurch Devorguilla clarified that a statement in a source he provided referred to this place...

Wall, Tony; Ensor, Blair; Vance, Andrea (27 July 2014). "A Kiwi Lad's Death by Drone". Stuff. Wellington. Archived from the original on 27 July 2014. In Sydney, Daryl began attending the Lakemba Mosque, known as a hotbed of radicalism, and drew the attention of counter-terrorism authorities because of the company he kept. {{ cite news}}: Unknown parameter |deadurl= ignored (|url-status= suggested) ( help)

I believe this should be included. -Oranginger

It will take more than this cite to state in Wikivoice that a mosque was perceived a hotbed of radicalism. Also, this editor was blocked as a WP:SOCK O3000 ( talk) 19:56, 21 March 2019 (UTC) reply
