Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2025
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and Aims
The objects of the charity are set out in the charity's governing document and are summarised as follows:
The advancement of the Islamic faith in the area of Halifax and in particular:
-
The establishment and maintenance of Mosques.
-
The propagation of Islamic teachings.
-
The giving of monetary and other practical assistance to Mosques and communities in need of such assistance.
-
The giving of aid to the needy of any country in the event of natural disasters.
Public Benefit
Our objectives are set to reflect our faith and community aims. Each year the trustees review our objectives and activities to ensure they continue to reflect our aims. In carrying out this review the trustees have complied with their duties as detailed in the Charities Act 2011 section 17(5) by reviewing the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit and in particular its supplementary public guidance on the advancement of religion for the public benefit.
Our dual aims remain to provide a facility where Muslims can worship and to provide a community facility for all the inhabitants of Halifax. Our long-term ambition is to build the self-confidence of Halifax's Muslims in their faith, and through our community facilities and activities help make our area a peaceful, vibrant and harmonious community.
Strategies
We want to make our Mosque an accessible and welcoming venue where all Muslims, or those who wish to know more about our faith, can gather together to learn about their religion and worship. The Mosque is open at all times (subject to public health restrictions) with daily prayers, the Friday prayers being a focus of our activities.
The charity aims to promote the Islamic faith by continuing to provide Mosques in Halifax and facilities for teaching both children and adults. The objectives for the year were to continue to raise funds for expansion and to continue to maintain and improve existing facilities.
An important part of our strategy is community welfare and education. All our community facilities and activities including classes and guest speakers are widely advertised and we welcome the participation of all in our local community, Muslim and non-Muslim alike. Our activities are free and supported by donations.
Funds are raised to meet the charity's objectives by voluntary collections at the Mosque and from monthly door to door collections by a volunteer collector. One collector undertakes the door to door collections which approximates to 5 man days per month. No specific fundraising targets are set. Instead, the charity relies on the willingness of individuals to contribute what they can afford to donate. Donations are only sought from individuals within the Halifax area.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE Charitable Activities
How our activities deliver public benefit
The charity carries out a wide range of activities in pursuance of its charitable aims. The trustees consider that these activities, summarised below, provide benefit both to those who worship at our Mosque and the wider community of Halifax.
Religious Activities
Our Mosque provides a centre for our prayers and worship and for the activities associated with our faith. During the year under review, we offered a range of religious services and activities. The activities include:
Prayers: The Mosque is open all day for daily and Friday prayers. During the week we have over 400 people who regularly attend daily prayers and over 1,900 who regularly attend Friday prayers.
Festivals: The Mosque prepared food on many religious festivals during the year for those attending the Mosque. Eid was also celebrated at the Mosque along with offering a monthly celebration of Saints' days and a service of thanksgiving celebrating the birth of our prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, to whom the Qur'an was revealed.
Funeral Facilities: The Mosque provides a complete funeral service in line with the teachings of Islam. We relieve the deceased's bereaved relatives of the burden of organising burials. We also provide access to condolences facilities at our various sites, including the purposely adapted facilities on Hopwood Lane; all of these are free of charge.
Civil Marriage and Nikkah: The Mosque provides Muslim couples with an appropriate location for both their civil marriage and Nikkah (Islamic marriage).
Hifz Classes: Memorisation of the Qur'an is considered an important element of religious education and training. We continue to provide this facility for the young people in the Mosque. We are pleased this programme continues to run successfully with over 15 young people regularly attending these classes.
Islamic Awareness: We have continued a series of lectures, open to all, to promote Islamic knowledge and awareness.
Inter-Faith Dialogue: Our Mosque is an active member of the Faith Communities Forum for the Halifax area. We use this platform to promote inter-faith dialogue and social cohesion. The mosque is also a member of Calderdale Council for Mosques.
The charity has continued to raise money for the upkeep, maintenance and development of the Mosque and to be able to provide paid teachers. It has also raised additional funds to contribute to reserves to meet the future requirements of the charity. The charity has been successful in promoting the Islamic faith as evidenced by the increasing number of people attending the Mosque.
Donations
Those attending our Mosque have given generously to appeals arising from calamities affecting people around the world and to alleviate poverty and assist vulnerable people in various countries. The Mosque has given money to charities in these countries. This year, as we did last year, we administered the receipt and distribution of funds, which is collected and distributed in accordance with the teachings of Islam for the relief of those in poverty and the destitute.
During the year there were specific appeals made for Palestinians living in Gaza and donations were made for this cause and,for the poor in Kashmir and for the annual Qurbani food distribution.All of these were treated as restricted funds.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Principal Funding Sources
The principle source of funding during the year, as in previous years, has been by voluntary donations from the local community and has been used to meet the running costs of the Mosques and education centre's used to promote the Islamic faith as well as to provide donations to Islamic causes. An analysis of the income received during the year is included in the notes to the accounts.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves Policy
The total funds of the charity before gains on revaluation have increased by £115,443 from £3,919,457 to £4,034,900 .The revaluation reserve has increased by £4,472,713 from £2,603,525 to £7,076,238 due to the revaluation of the main mosque at Gibbet Street (see note 21). Reserves not represented by the charity's properties are retained mainly in bank accounts. Free reserves at the year end were £1,580,198 (2024 £1,400,742).
During the year funds were raised by appeals for specific projects amounting to £19,205 (2024 £10,147). These were treated as restricted funds. A breakdown of the donations received for restricted funds is shown in note 18 to the accounts.Restricted funds held at the year end amounted to £15,270 (2024 £8,737).
Going Concern
The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis as the charity has healthy liquid reserves and has sufficient liquid funds to meet its liabilities as they fall due and expenditure is not authorised unless sufficient funds are in place.
FUTURE PLANS
The charity intends to continue its religious activities as outlined above and to continue to provide financial assistance to those in need.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing Document
The charity is governed by the provisions of an order of the High Court dated 28 October 1996, as amended on 13th September 1997, 24th May 2008 and 30 August 2008.

Supercenter Limited, one of the trustees of the charity is also a shareholder of this company. A summary of the transactions with the company are set out in Note 19 to the financial statements.
Risk Management
The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to establish systems to mitigate those risks. Internal risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for the authorisation of all transactions and projects and to ensure compliance with all legislation.

The procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure they still meet the needs of the charity.

TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT - continued
Charity law requires the trustees 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 charity 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 charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity 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 Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity 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 charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 and The Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Trustees of Central Jamia Mosque Madni
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Central Jamia Mosque Madni (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet 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), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'.
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 31 March 2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
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 charity 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 charity'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
-
sufficient accounting records have not been kept; 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 Central Jamia Mosque Madni
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Trustees' Responsibilities Statement, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements which 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 charity'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 charity 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:
We gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the charity and the sector in which they operate and considered the risk of acts by the entity that were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud. We designed audit procedures to respond to that risk, recognising that 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.
We obtained an understanding of how the charity complies with its legal requirements by making inquiries of management and by review of board minutes and other documentation.
Our audit procedures included:
-
identifying and assessing the design effectiveness of controls management has in place to prevent and detect fraud; - understanding how those charged with governance considered and addressed the potential for override of controls or other inappropriate influence over the financial reporting process;
-
assessing the extent and compliance with the relevant laws and regulations;
-
agreeing the financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation and inquiries with management.
We did not identify any key audit matters relating to irregularities including fraud.
We are not aware of any actual or suspected non-compliance with laws and regulations, and we are not responsible for preventing or detecting non-compliance with all laws and regulations. The primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with management and those charged with governance
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.
We are independent of the charity 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 the provisions available for small entities, in the circumstances as set out in Note 22 to the financial statements, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.

Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
