Introduction
Alhamdulillah, we would like to say a prayer for all those who are no longer with us; they remain in our hearts and thoughts forever.
We would like to thank all those who have been helping and supporting the Trust during this year. We would also like to thank the Commissioners for their perseverance during the course of the election process and all the time they have put into checking that we have a fair and transparent process.
During previous elections and to date the Officers have been diligently performing their duties to the best of their abilities. They have made many improvements to the running of the Trust; some of which are visible and others not. We would like to take this opportunity to describe some of the work that has been carried out since the last AGM.
Board of Trustees Report
During the time we have been elected we have seen the Management Committee perform their duties with the utmost professionalism under hard conditions, which is not an easy or quick task. We would like to express our happiness at their efforts and we are confident they will keep this up in the future.
The Trustees have helped to raise funds by approaching the general membership as well as sourcing funding from further abroad through their contacts with friends and relatives. We work tirelessly to ensure that the mosque has enough funds to ensure not only that there are enough funds to fund each stage of the new mosque building project but also to ensure there are regular Islamic functions at the mosque to engage all members, which they benefit from through a social aspect, gaining more knowledge and enlightenment.
Over the past year we have continued to deliver children’s education classes at the mosque and would like to thank all parents for working with us to ensure their children maximise their learning experience. We encourage all parents to approach any member of the management committee or trustee with any ideas they may wish to discuss with us about the children’s education

Chairman’s Report
Dear Members of the Community – Asalaam alaikum wa rehmatullah hi wabarakatuh,
I would like to thank members of the management committee and trustees for all their efforts this year. The elected management committee and trustee were steadfast and continued to administer their responsibility for Blackheath Jamia Trust.
We would like to thank you for all the support you have given to the masjid and the committee over the years. Without your help the progress we have made to date would not have been possible.
With the help and grace of Allah(swt) In the couple of years we:
-
Removed the old masjid units.
-
Tiled the Ghusl area.
-
Installed electrics in the Ghusl area.
-
Updated our internet and server system
-
Built the external wall
-
Created a temporary car park.
-
Installed shoe racks.
-
Improved the CCTV system
-
We are in the process of improving the education system, by implementing the iSyllabus Islamic GCSE course.
A breakdown of the accounts are attached to this report for everyone’s information, and will be presented as part of the Treasurer’s report.
The building of the masjid is just one part of the process. A much more important part is about the role of a masjid as a community hub. Yes, it should be the spiritual hub of the community, but it should also be a place where every Muslim feels comfortable, a place of tranquillity, a place of gathering. Insha’Allah we will strive to make it a welcoming place for everyone – especially the next generation.

Treasury Report
The general funding for the running of the mosque comes from donations received from the congregation on Fridays, one-off donations from individuals as well as Standing Orders, and charity events.
We continue to use Standing Order Mandates, and now also have a Direct Debit facility which have automated income for the mosque to some extent. We also continue to receive money from Collection Boxes which are placed throughout the community and further afield. These have proved very beneficial for fundraising.
Additionally, the Trustees and Management Committee members have made prearranged collection visits, on Fridays and other important Islamic Calendar days, to many mosques.
We have initiated direct debit payments for the children’s classes. We also have a fully functioning online payment system as well as contactless card payments. All money received is deposited directly to the bank and any payments where possible are made directly from the bank.
I remind myself first, and our members second that this project is not just for the benefit of those with us today, but for all the generations to come. We as a society are going through testing times, with Muslims being labelled for some of society’s problems. Our children need a safe place where they can ask questions, and more importantly get answers to the issues that come up in their lives. This project should be a beacon to those who need help. May Allah(swt) make us successful in providing the community with a place to learn, and get closer to Rasulallah(s) and Allah(swt). Ameen.
I would like to thank all members of the community for their continued contribution to the Mosque. The benefits of your donations will insha’Allah continue to bear fruit in this world and the next, whilst helping us and our future generations.
