Mr. Nur Chowdhury MrAshik Ali Chainnan Secretary The trustees are eligible, in committee, to appoint additional trustees under the temis of the constitution. Activities and Achievements-Public benefits l. Prayer facilities Our mosque has been a welcoming place for musallis in North London. As the only purpose-built mosque in South Tottenham, we have become a role model mosque assisting other mosques to set up in the wider North London area. We continue to play a crucial role in the emergcnce of Southgate Mosque and Barnet Mosque, for example. We estimate that over a 1000 people attend fivc daily congregational Prayers and juma prayer at our mosque. The community around South Tottenham tend to be transient as many people live in the area for a few years before moving to other ar¢as. 2. Ramadan and Iftar Service In Ramadan, we had huffaz alongside our two Imams leading the prayer every night. The mosque was its liveliest in Ramadan every night. In the last 10 nights, over 20 people performed itikafin our mosque. We also offered Tahajjud prayers during the last portion of the night. As part of our commitment to the community, the mosque provided a hot meal every day for iftar. We provided approximately 3,000 iftar meals during the month of Ramadan. 3. Fundraising The masjid's main source of income is our Friday Collection and standing orders. During Ramadan, we had collection for our masjid once or twice a week. W¢ allocated the rest of the days to different
humanitarian charities working to help the poor and the needy around the world. We have improvcd our credit and d¢bit card payment facilities as card donations now regularly overtake cash donations. 4. Advieelcounselling and Visits Providing advice, counselling to musallis on a range of matt¢rs is a core part of the service offered by our respected imams and committe¢ members. Many new niusallis move to South Tottenham from abroad or other parts of the county. We have given them practical help on accommodation, accessing council's services and so on. Our imams and committee members have also visited the sick at home or hospital. Marriage Service Islamic Community Centre is registered to solemnise Islamic marriages. The imams have carried out this service on numerous occasions throughout the year for members of our community. 6. Tarbiyyah We have del ivered regular Qur'an, Hadith and Fiqh classes in our mosque throughout the year led by Itnam Khidir Hussain and Imam Sayem Rahman. We have also invited guest speakers to deliver talks at various evcnts throughout th¢ year. Most recently, the mosque host¢d a Seerah COnfence on Sunday 12 October 2025. 7. Evening and weekend Madrasab The masjid has been providing an Islamic school from the very early days. At present, Duha Institute is providing evening and weekend madrasah. There are five differ¢nt classes during the weekend and four different classes during weekdays. The madrassa has 130 students. 8. Youth Club The mosque attracts a large number of young boys to its youth club. There is currently a session on the last Friday of cach month for boys aged between 9 and 16. We are currently exploring whether a session can b¢ organised for young girls. 9. Annual Barbecue and Family Fun Day We organise a barbcque and family fun day every year in July before the school holidays begin. It is an opportunity for the whole ¢ommunity to come together. Volunteers prepare delicious food items which they sell to members of the community. There is a special barbecue in the yard in front of the mosque. Many stalls sell arts and craft, clothes and bric-a-brac. All proceeds go the mosque. 10. Volunteering The mosque provides ad hoc volunteering opportunities for members of the community throughout the year. We need volunteers afterjuma praycr, during taraweeh and at the end of eid prayers to collect funds from members of the congregation. We also need volunteers to help with the distribution of food at iftar time in Ramadan and other occasions when food is served. The annual barbecue and family fun day is organised and delivered by volunteers. Volunteering is a good way to make friends and feel part of the community. Members are encouraged to contact imams and committee members if they want to volunteer to help the mosque.
