Religious Services
As a masjid and Islamic centre, providing religious services remains the most vital aspect of our work. For more than 51 years, JMIC has served as a place of daily worship and community gathering, Alhamdulillah, over the decades, the number of congregants, the prayer capacity, and the facilities and services we provide have steadily grown, Our weekly footfall now reaches around 12,000 worshippers.
Congregational Prayers:
The masjid remains open eve1y day for the five daily prayers, from Fajr to Isha. On average, around 350 musallies attend each jama'at, while Jumu'ah attracts more than 1,500 worshippers. All prayers are led by our qualified Imams, and the Friday khutbah is delivered by our Head Imam and Khateeb,
Khutbahs, Lectures, and Talks
Our masjid delivers a wide range of programmes to spread the message oflslam. These include carefully planned thematic khutbahs, regular lectures, and talks designed to inspire and educate. Every day after Zuhr, our Imam conducts a shmt dars of the Qur'an and a hadith study. To ensure accessibility, all khutbahs and talks are broadcast via radio scanner and online, allowing those unable to attend to benefit from the teachings from their homes or elsewhere.
Ramadan and Taraweeh
Ramadan is the busiest month of the year at JMIC, with the number of congregants often doubling, Alongside daily worship, a series of special programmes were delivered, including i'tikaf, iftar, taraweeh, and educational sessions.
Taraweeh prayers were held in two congregations each night, led by our regular Imams - Shaykh Shahidullah Azhari and Shaykh Habibul Gaffar Azhari - along with guest huffaz, including Hafidh Rayyan and a student from Darul Uloom, Ismail Alam. Sisters also attended in significant numbers, and nightly witr concluded with heaitfelt du'as, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of the Haramain.
A Qur'an Summaiy programme was delivered across all 30 days of Ramadan by qualified 'Ulam?, offering deep insights into the holy book. This initiative, attended in-person and online, was greatly appreciated by the community.

On average, 200-250 people attended each day, with numbers reaching 350 on busier nights, Worshippers from diverse backgrounds gathered, filling the community hall and making the Iftar programme one of the highlights of Ramadan at JMIC.

17 brothers took part in i'tikaf during the last ten days of Ramadan, following the Sunnah of seclusion and devotion to worship. They were guided by the Head Imam and Dami Uloom teacher, Dr Abdul Matin, who delivered daily naseehah sessions after Fajr. Participants also joined tahajjud prayers and engaged in personal 'ibadah, Each mutakif was provided with a private cabin and food, enabling them to focus on worship in comfort.

Darul Uloom Islamic High School
September 2025 will mark a significant milestone for Darul Uloom Islamic High School, as the renowned madrassah-school proudly celebrates its 40th anniversary.
Darul Uloom Summmy
This has been an outstanding year, culminating in a highly positive inspection by the ISI where we successfully passed all standards. Throughout the year, we have adeptly managed a period of significant transition, including the departure of a high number of staff and three members of the Senior Leadership Team who pursued new opp01tunities both abroad and locally. Despite these changes, we maintained a strong and successful balance between academic achievement and extracurricular activities. This dedication resulted in a tremendous achievement of five Huffadh and some truly great GCSE results, Alhamdulilah.
Days And Times in Operation
This academic year, we successfully implemented a revised school schedule, which was initially proposed but deemed impractical the previous year. We h·ansitioned to a Mond a y to Friday timetable, with school hours now running from 8:00 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. for Key Stage 3 and up to 5:00 p.m. for Key Stage 4. This additional time has been used to great effect. We have introduced a dedicated morning form time, which allows for daily regish·ation and addresses crncial pastoral needs, sh·engthening the student-tutor bond and providing a calm stmt to the day. For Key Stage 3, we also implemented a daily 15-minute scheduled reading slot at the end of the school day. This initiative is designed to broaden vocabulary, improve comprehension, and foster a love of reading, which are essential skills for success across the entire curriculum.
Key Changes
A Year of Progress and Excellence: This year has been one of significant progress and dedication, building upon the strong foundations laid in the previous academic year. We have maintained our focus on consistent routines to ensure high standards of behaviour and teaching across the school, underpinned by our Islamic ethos of discipline and respect. Staff have been encouraged to refine their schemes of work and lesson plans, ensuring that new knowledge is effectively linked to prior learning and enhancing the overall cuniculum for our pupils.
Our regular staff training sessions have remained a key feature of our professional development, taking place for 30 minutes eve1y Thursday. These sessions have been insh·umental in sh·engthening staff knowledge in safeguarding, pedagogy, and best teaching practices. We have also continued to successfully enforce our mobile phone policy, allowing only basic non-smmt mobiles, which has had a tangible positive impact on pupils' focus and interaction.
Enriched Opp01tunities and Community Engagement: This year, we have inh·oduced a greater variety of after-school clubs, with teachers running a diverse range of activities, including an anime club, sports hist01y, board games, cricket, table tennis, creative writing, and a reading club. We also collaborated with a local Judo club, providing our pupils with excellent opportunities to develop their interests and physical skills. Our engagement with other schools has also grown, with pupils competing in football and table tennis competitions with ISA schools, and basketball competitions with local state schools, which has fu1ther enhanced their confidence and teamwork.
To foster a culture of excellence, we introduced a new Golden Ticket system, a reward scheme that encourages pupils to sh·ive for high standards in all their endeavours. Pupils are able to collect prizes after earning a set number of tickets. There has been a greater emphasis on practical learning across the curriculum, with an increase in science experiments and hands-on practical in Fiqh, allowing pupils to embody what they have learnt and demonsh·ate their understanding.

Success and Aspiration: T11e Dar/House system has continued to thrive, promoting a sense of camaraderie and healthy competition, and culminating in the celebration of the House Cup. To ensure success at GCSE level, staff provided additional booster classes and carefully planned supp01t for all pupils. The aspirational mindset cultivated by the science teacher, in paiticular, set extremely high expectations from the stmt of the year. This approach transfonned the outlook of many students, inspiring them to ahn for top results and contributing to hnprovements across all subject areas.
In line with our Islamic values of c01mnunity and charity, the school has also renewed its drive to supp01t the wider community. Our pupils actively pmticipated in various masjid projects, including the 'Tea with the Elderly' programme, masjid and street cleaning, and collecting food for local food banks. We also extended our effmts to international projects, with pupils collecting food items for Syria. Our students also demonstrated their charitable spirit by raising over £3,000 for schools in Pakistan, run by As-Suffah, Masha'Allah. We pray that Allah Azzawajal accepts all then- effmts and grants them continued success, Ameen.

Premises & Projects
Master Plan: At long last, the JMIC Master Plan has come to light and is beginning to make good progress.

A 2025/2026 Master Plan will be proposed, taking into account: Phasing of works,Site constraints, Sustainability considerations. The proposal will, Insha'Allah, be forward-thinking with a eontempora1y appearance. Once planning approval has been granted, the new plan will be fully costed and a proposed timeline for delive1y will be set out. We kindly request your duas and suppmt in any capacity for the success of this project.

Al Miraj Banqueting Suites
Booking Sunm1my: In 2024-2025, Al Miraj Banqueting Suites successfully hosted 170 bookings. While this is slightly lower than the previous year's figure of 200 bookings, the reduction reflects some of the challenges faced during the year, including increased competition from newer, more modern venues and resh·ictions on ce1tain customer requests such as faeworks, dhul, and DJ sound systems, which we do not allow under our terms and conditions. Looking ahead, the outlook is positive. For the coming year (2025-2026), we have already confmned 121 bookings, and we are confident that we will exceed this year's total by the end of the next cycle, In sha'Allah.

Additional income was also generated by renting out the car park during non-booking hours, which proved to be an effective way of maximising assets.

Administration, Policy and Procedures
Office Repmt: This year has been a period of both continuity and development within the office. The day-to-day operations have been managed with efficiency, ensuring that essential functions continued smoothly and without inte1rnption. Alongside these routine responsibilities, the office has played a cenh·a! role in driving forward several significant initiatives, reflecting both the growth and the evolving needs of the organisation.
One of the key areas of focus has been the oversight of renovation and fundraising projects. These undeitakings have required extensive coordination with builders, architects, and other professional advisors, ensuring that the organisation's facilities remain fit for purpose and capable of supporting our expanding activities. The fundraising work has been equally important, requiring careful planning and relationship management to secure the resources necessary to deliver on our commitments.
In addition to these major projects, the office has continued to address a wide range of organisational responsibilities. These have included human resources management, compliance with regulato1y requirements, and the resolution of various office-related issues that arise in the course of daily operations. The effective handling of these matters has ensured the continued stability and professionalism of our internal sh·uctures.
Collaboration with partner charities has been another vital element of the year's work. By sh·engthening these relationships, we have been able to share expe1tise, align effmts, and extend the reach of our activities. These paitnerships have been instrumental in broadening the impact of our work and ensuring that resources are used effectively in pursuit of common goals.
The progress made throughout the year would not have been possible without the dedication and support of our h·ustees and the president. Their guidance, coupled with the commitn1ent of all those involved in the organisation, has provided a strong foundation for both our daily operations and our long-term projects.
Looking ahead, the office remains committed to maintaining high standards in its operational management while continuing to drive forward the projects and paitnerships that will shape the future of the organisation.

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).
Compauy law requires the trnstees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law, the trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law).
Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they 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. Jn 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 Charities SORP;
make judgements and esthnates that are reasonable and prudent;
- 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 thne 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 uTegularities.

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 2025 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 repmting 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 2025 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 fmther described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our repmt. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the fmancial 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 fmancial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the fmancial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have perfonned, 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 infonnation comprises the infonnation 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 Olli' audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other infonnation and, in doing so, consider whether the other infomrntion 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 perfo1med, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to repmt that fact. We have nothing to repmt in this regard.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to repmt in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to repmt to you if, in our opinion:
the infonnation 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 e 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 intenial control as the trustees determine is necessaiy to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or enor.
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 f[r] ee from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or enor, and to issue a Rep01t 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 enor 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 indusl:Jy, 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, FRS 102 and the Charities SORP. We evaluated management's incentives and opp01tunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of ovenide of conl:J·ols), and dete1mined that the prh1cipal risks were related to posting inappropriate journal enl:J·ies to achieve desired fmancial results and the manipulation of exceptional items and management bias in accounting esthnates. 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 suppmting calculations where a provision has been made in respect of these; reading key c01Tespondence with regulatory authorities in relation to compliance with ce1tain employment laws and indirect tax matters; - understanding and evaluating the design and implementation of management's conl:J·ols designed to prevent and detect irregularities; - challengh1g assumptions and judgements made by management in their significant accounting estimates, in particular, in relation to rest[r] icted funds; - identifying and testing journal enh·ies, in particular any journal ent[r] ies 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 f[r] om the events and transactions reflected in the fmancial 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 f[r] om error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.
