STRATEGIC REPORT
Achievement and performance Charitable activities
Religious Services
Jami mosque is recognised for its facilities for congregations for males and females. Normally the mosque is open to all throughout the whole year for individual and collective ibadah. People attend to offer five daily prayers, Jumu'ah prayer as well as for different lessons and lectures.
Congregational Prayers:
The 5 daily prayers are conducted all year round as this is the core function of the masjid. The daily congregations are attended by an average of 400 people. The average gathering for Friday prayers (Jumu'ah) is generally over 1200, rising to almost 2000 on the busiest Fridays and during the holiday periods. Our weekly footfall is usually over 14,000, which doubles during the month of Ramadan.
Ramadan, Taraweeh & Eid
Fasting began on Saturday 2nd April, and was completed after 30 days, with Eid al-Fitr on Monday 2nd May. The entire month was observed with full enthusiasm and spirit to attain Taqwa. All Ramadan special programs such as the summary of the Qur'an, pre-iftar discussions, taleem of hadith were well attended and appreciated by the musallies. A Unique welcome Ramadan program was held on Sunday 20th March. The theme of fasting was combined with the training on how to calculate zakat as the majority pay their Zakat in the month of Ramadan. Dr. Suhail Hanif, CEO of the National Zakat Foundation presented the zakat workshop and the head Imam Sh Shahidullah and Khateeb M Habibul Gaffar delivered Ramadan training.
During the full month of Ramadan, 20 Rakat Taraweeh prayer was arranged in two congregations at early and late at night. The mosque gained its spirit back as the musallies were very happy. Many sisters attended during the night for Taraweeh prayers. This year our current and former Darul Uloom and Raheem Academy students led taraweeh prayer. The performance of our students was excellent and well appreciated by the congregates. Students were given a goody bag containing fragrance, hat, scarf, etc. as an Eid gift on the last night in a brief gathering.
Every night during Ramadan, a special dua was conducted in the witr prayer. This created an atmosphere of haram (Makkah & Medina) and connected people to their lord.
'Eid al-Fitr was celebrated on Monday 2nd May 2022. As the weather was suitable for open air congregations, there were two big Eid gatherings in the Darul uloom car park. The first occurred at 8am and the last at 11 am. Facilities were provided for both men and women during Eid while the atmosphere was very welcoming. The entrances to the Eid prayer place were decorated with special balloons and children enjoyed a big bounty of different sweets. everyone who came was able to take part in the prayers.
Eid Al-Adha commenced on Saturday 2nd July 2022. Two congregations were held, 8am and 10 am. Attendance at the Eid prayer is estimated to be around 7,000 people in total.
Nisf Sha'ban & Laylatul Qadr
This year there were no special programs during the Nisf Sha'ban date. The masjid arranged a short talk on the importance of this blessed night. The head imam guided people about the correct method of 'Ibadah on this occasion and that was concluded by short dua by our senior Imam M Siddique Ahmed. The laylat al-Qadr night was observed greatly.
Children Friendly Masjid
Once again, during Eid day JMIC is giving out treats to children. One of our visions is to make our Masjid children friendly.
Mosque Surgery
We have been running mosque surgery service to provide religious counselling. This usually runs twice a week on Wednesdays and Sundays. This service is open to all. Shaykh Mohmmad Shahid Ullah Azhari-the head Imam of JMIC-provides necessary Islamic counselling. This year we supported around 300 individuals/family. This service includes advice on marriage, talaq, family break down, social issues, children problem, disputes between individuals, and Islamic rulings on various issues.
Islam Awareness Project
The Islam awareness program was fully functional this year. This year there were 2 shahadah witnessed at the Centre. We distributed about 50 Qur'ans and Islamic books to reverts and regular Musallies which were donated to the mosque.

Jamiah Darul Uloom
Jami'ah Draul Uloom started the journey from September 2021 with a great emphasis on A level, Alimiyyah and Hifdh. With the available resources Jami'ah manged to cater for quality education, provided good environment and extracurricular activities.
The 1st year of Jami'ah has ended successfully. At the end of the academic year, we had 6 students. 3 of them have undertaken A level subjects along with Islamic curriculum (Alimiyyah), while the other 3 were doing Islamic curriculum (Alimiyyah) only. For the academic year 2022-23, so far 6 students have enrolled and our recruitment is still ongoing hoping to receive more applicants. Jami'ah appointed well qualified teachers to deliver the A level curriculum. Our A level maths and chemistry teachers is a PhD in this filed as well as the biology teacher. The English teacher is graduated from Birmingham university and very well qualified. With regards to the Islamic curriculum, it is taught by Al-Azhar graduate well experienced teachers. Six teachers have delivered the lessons in Jami'ah this year.
This year we provided English, maths, chemistry and biology. Students have completed 1st year syllabus and they have the predicted grade of A, B and C in their final year as described and hoped by the teachers. Islamic curriculum has been delivered by qualified teachers. Students were taught many subjects. The subjects were Tafseer, hadith, aqidah, Arabic language, nahwa, sarf, ulum al-hadith, history etc. in the 1st year. Students have been attending the classes with much interest and enthusiasm and benefitted greatly.
Extracurricular:
" Students had speech club where they have been trained to deliver quality speeches. The frequency was weekly for the sessions and students took part in a rotation. As a result of this practice, students gained confidence and they show interest to deliver khutba for jumuah and in other occasions.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
Naturally, a less stringent social distancing routine was adopted as the government lifted the strict rules around Covid-19. A Covid-19 risk assessment remained in place in case a class had to be sent home due to an outbreak. During the entire academic year, only one Year group had to be sent home for a period of one week in November, but learning continued with pupils being taught online.
In December 2021, the Independent School Inspectorate visited the school and conducted its first inspection. They maintained a friendly demeanour and were respectful of the school and its ethos. After three full days of inspection, the ISI praised a number of areas such as the teaching and learning, SMSC and Health and Safety. Unfortunately, they highlighted some areas of weakness including safeguarding and provision of information. Their approach was unfamiliar to the management surprisingly picking up on matters Ofsted normally would have been satisfied with.
Such an example of this is the failure was highlighted in the Single Central Record. DBS checks for Trustees switching from one to another was conducted in May 2019 and also prior 2016. Inspectors stated the DBS was to be completed prior to date of the trustee's starting point by a few months as they did not consider the DBS of 2016 valid due to switching position with another trustee. Ofsted have allowed such examples due to it being compliant at the time of the inspection. However, the ISI declared this a failing.
The inspectorate also interviewed our staff in groups and asked questioned around safeguarding. Although we had some expert answers, the inspectors felt that some staff had a weak understanding of safeguarding, thus lacking the whole-school approach. Again, Ofsted in the past have allowed a similar scenario as it was an expectation that some staff clearly demonstrated higher levels of safeguarding knowledge than others.
Another example is our website arrangements where Ofsted have allowed the school not to have a functioning website, as long a statement existed, redirecting parents to the school office for policies; the ISI failed the Provision of information section stating that the school does not make clear to the parents' information about the school. This consequently meant the leadership and management standard was given a failure.
As Ustaadh Azharul's first year ended positively, the second year was expected to bring nothing less than a pass in all areas. However, the beginning of his year two campaign fell short as the new inspectorate was not as straight forward as predicted and his team had to reflect over the subsequent shortcomings. Immediately after, the head and the school's SLT addressed the areas highlighted by the inspectorate, working closely with the trustee in-charge of the school. This included submitting an action plan to the DFE.
As part of the action plan, the school re-applied for the special governor DBS getting approved soon after. Staff were trained further internally and externally completing training with the Muath Trust and Pearsons, to ensure all staff were competent with their knowledge around safeguarding. Training included the study of the KCSIE September 2021 document.
The school's website was developed and now includes an inspirational promotional video with access to a high quality and informative prospectus.
The school has had its action plan approved by the DFE and now awaits an imminent inspection to demonstrate its implementation.
Key Changes:
This year the school celebrates the organisation's investment in its staffing resulting in an elevated quality of teaching, and correlated learning, and offers further personal development opportunities.
Whilst hosting the same celebration last academic year, the school boasts having a team of highly qualified individuals in both core and optional (non-GCSE) subjects, a feat only recently achieved, and ever-growing with the intention to continually progress in standards.
Expanding the range of teachers with a Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), recruitment this year welcomed a PE teacher, an Art teacher and a Maths teacher, not to mention the already-recruited History, RE, Islamiyaat and Science teachers. Non-QTS teachers have been carefully selected, possessing high levels of education in their specific including the English teacher having a Masters in English, and the many Arabic/Alimi teachers holding Masters and PhDs from Al-Azhar university, Markfield Institute and Madinah University.

This year, the funeral department provided its services to 27 deceased. Such services again remind us that that death has no age or gender when it arrives. Indeed, from Allah we came and to Him is our return.
JMIC Seniors Club
Elderly in the Muslim community are underrepresented. Problems they face are not being recognized or actions are not taken to address them.

Weekly Tea Circle

Workshop/ Seminar about health-related issues and awareness.

" JMIC's Facebook page reach is now 46,000+, which is an increase of 31.8% users compared to last year. However, the Facebook video views have decreased. This may be partially due to the change in social dynamics with respect to use of Facebook as compared to other platforms.

JAMI MOSQUE & ISLAMIC CENTRE (BIRMINGHAM) TRUSTEES LIMITED
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
The trustees (who are also the directors of Jami Mosque & Islamic Centre (Birmingham) Trustees Limited for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
In so far as the trustees are aware:
-
there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware; and
-
the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.
AUDITORS
The auditors, Shareef & Co, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.
Report of the trustees, incorporating a strategic report, approved by order of the board of trustees, as the company directors, on 6 November 2022 and signed on the board's behalf by:

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF JAMI MOSQUE & ISLAMIC CENTRE (BIRMINGHAM) TRUSTEES LIMITED
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Jami Mosque & Islamic Centre (Birmingham) Trustees Limited (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2022 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the information given in the Report of the Trustees is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or
-
the charitable company has not kept adequate accounting records; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF JAMI MOSQUE & ISLAMIC CENTRE (BIRMINGHAM) TRUSTEES LIMITED
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditors under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
Based on our understanding of the Charity and industry, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to employment laws and taxes, and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006 and FRS 102. We evaluated management's incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls), and determined that the principal risks were related to posting inappropriate journal entries to achieve desired financial results and the manipulation of exceptional items and management bias in accounting estimates. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included, but were not limited to: - enquiries with management, and the Company's legal counsel (internal and, where relevant, external), including consideration of known or suspected instances of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations and examining supporting calculations where a provision has been made in respect of these; reading key correspondence with regulatory authorities in relation to compliance with certain employment laws and indirect tax matters; - understanding and evaluating the design and implementation of management's controls designed to prevent and detect irregularities; - challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in their significant accounting estimates, in particular, in relation to restricted funds; - identifying and testing journal entries, in particular any journal entries posted with unusual account combinations and postings by unusual users; There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

20. POST BALANCE SHEET EVENTS
During the year ended 31 March 2018, major repair works were carried out to one of the Charity's properties due to significant structural damage. The cost of the repairs was £195,441. The Charity has insurance cover against the cost of these repairs.

Due to the nature of the uncertainty, the Charity has taken a prudent view to not accrue for any insurance payments.
