ISLAMIC CULTURAL & WELFARE ASSOCIATION

TRUSTEES REPORT

We begin in the name of Almighty Allah, the most Beneficent, the most Compassionate, the most Merciful who created the worlds and created us as the best of the creation. He bestowed his blessings on us in the form of our own beloved Prophet Hadhrat Muhammed (SAW), glory and salutations on him, his family, his companions and his followers.

We are delighted to present our 40th Annual Report. We are very grateful to Almighty for giving us courage, guidance, inspiration and the will to engage ourselves in the worthy cause of providing essential services to our members. Our organisation's foundation is based on providing worshipping facilities for the community, providing Islamic teachings to our young generation and where we can assist our needy brothers and sisters throughout the world. With the help of the Almighty and your Du’as, we are confident you will agree, we are fulfilling the above obligations and requirements.

Throughout the year, especially during the holy month of Ramadan, many national and international learned and pious scholars visited our organisation; especially Sheikh-ul-Hadith Hadhrat Maulana Fazlur Rahman Azami Saheb DB who again conveyed his valuable words of wisdom. They all enlightened our community with their effective and thought provoking Bayaans, inspiring us to live and follow the true and straight path of Islam. May Allah Ta’ala reward them all in both the worlds, Ameen.

Additionally, we convey our thanks to everybody who continue to donate generously on each occasion when financial assistance is sought. This Ramadhan was no exception. Alhamdulillah we had another excellent response to our Ramadhan Lillah Appeal. The fully functional Jumma Masjid, Jame Masjid and Madressa Talimuddin you see today have only been achieved firstly due to the grace of Almighty Allah and secondly due to your continuing financial support and Du’as. May Allah Ta’ala reward all brothers and sisters for their financial assistance in this world and in the hereafter.

As you will appreciate, the running cost of maintaining our Masaajid and Madressa is continuously increasing. Membership Fees alone do not cover our expenses, hence our repeated request for Lillah via Ramadhan Appeals, Jummah Lillah, House Lillah etc. We would encourage our brothers and sisters to continue to increase their Jummah Lillah donations so we can reach a stage where Insha-Allah all our utility bills are paid via the Jummah Lillah collections. The Lillah raised will be utilised running of our Masaajid and in the teaching of Islamic education in our Madressa for our children. Our Masaajid are the focal points for Islam and we request all brothers to utilise our Masaajid to its full, keep it occupied and obtain maximum benefit from the various activities and spiritual Bayaans planned throughout the year.

We end by apologising on behalf of the entire Executive Committee for any errors in this report and whilst trying to carry out this noble work throughout the year. We ask Almighty to forgive any errors and mistakes we will inevitably have made during the year. May Allah Ta’ala accept us all for the deen of Islam. (Ameen).

The Project Committee has been working hard over the past few years to get the whole of the construction and refurbishment works completed swiftly. However, there have been many reasons and hurdles in place which has delayed these works. Alhumdollilah we are now close to the completion stage. Even at this completion stage, unfortunately, we have faced many delays due to the number of tradespeople from different professions required and their availability or lack of. We have been let down with tradespeople not attending as agreed and this has resulted in further delays. It has also caused delays in commencing other areas of work which can only be completed in order i.e. one piece of work is dependent on something else being completed.

ISLAMIC CULTURAL & WELFARE ASSOCIATION

TRUSTEES REPORT

Many activities and events were held during the course of the year, some highlights include:-

• Regular programmes were held throughout the holy month of Ramadhan. The programmes were delivered b local scholars and included a wide range of topics. The aim of these programmes and in particular the focus on using local scholars was to provide a platform to our own local scholars to share their knowledge and also for young people to identify the breadth of talent and expertise that our own local scholars possess and be a means of connecting our youngsters with our scholars

• A day trip, walk and picnic with local Ulema was held in Otley Chevin Park

• A trip to Oxford University and other sites and landmarks was organised. Our youngsters also got the chance t meet the local Oxford University students

• These outings were very successful in bringing together and building bridges between local youngsters and ou young, local Ulema

We have continued with projects which proved successful in previous years which are beneficial and helpful to nurture the students. We have continued the sessions for Ladies to attend Madressah and learn under the stewardship of our Madressah Aapaas. With the blessings of the Almighty, we receive very positive feedback from the attendees who feel re-connected to Deen. We have also started a targeted Tajweed Role to home in to perfecting Quran Recitation across the Madressah. Alongside this we have created a Hifz Pastoral role to support the wellbeing of the students and help them with marginal gains to better their Hifz.

Summary of Madressah

We currently have 20 classes which run in the traditional Naz’rah class system, 6 Hifz Classes for boys, 1 Haafizah Class for Girls, 1 Part Time Haafizah class for Girls, 1 Ex-Student Class for Boys, 2 weekday Advanced Ladies and Girls Classes. It is apparent that there are various scheduled lessons and sessions that take place in a week, all which are tailored and delivered to better the Deeni Taleem of our future generation and aid their characteristics in modern day society. It must be noted that for the students, young and old, to give up their time and to associate themselves with Madressah is a great achievement and should be accredited and noted. This commitment is an example of the awareness and enthusiasm for Islamic values within our community and I pray that develops further.

Madressah feels strongly in creating a connection between the children and the Masjid / Madressah and try to facilitate excursions / trips / events to cater for this. With this aim, Madressah has organised Fundays, taken the children out to trips, and treated the children to Pizza Parties and Treats with in the Madressah. Please make Du’a that the Almighty accepts it and instils a love for Deen in their hearts. Aameen
