Daily Prayer:
The charity has established a regular five times prayer facility led by an Imam for all people to participate in. These prayers are well attended by families who live in the neighbourhood of the charity. There are separate facilities available for women/young girls to perform their prayers. The mosque is open all day for daily and Friday prayers. During the week over 100 people attend daily prayers and 400-450 regularly attend Friday prayers. The numbers attend to increase during the holiday period.
Ramadan:
During the holy month of Ramadan, special arrangements were made for the public to benefit from communal prayers throughout the day and to start and break-fast in accordance with Islamic traditions. The public took full advantage to avail themselves of the spiritual benefits of this holy month. During the last ten days of Ramadan over dozen worshipers stay in the mosque to obtain higher spiritual status and isolate them-selves from material world. On 27[th] Ramadan special ceremony of completing recitation of holy Quran is celebrated with special prayers for peace in the community and the world.
Festivals:
As with other similar organisation, the charity celebrated all auspicious days of the Islamic calendar which were well attended by the public. During the Eid festival period our mosque is normally full and there is pressure to extend the Mosque to meet increasing demand of our community. Over 500 hundred people attend Eid festivals. We also annually celebrate Profit’s birthday which again is well attended and provide occasion for families to come together to socialise and commemorate this holy day.

We also starting supplementary Islamic classes for boys.
We believe that it is necessary to support, develop and nurture the skill and abilities of the students, to a level where they can fulfil their potential. This is where we place the upmost care, in matching the teacher’s competency levels to the number of children in each class. With the help of some professional members our classes have been revived and start increasing the number of students together with the improved quality of education, with the help of Information technology as well.
We will continue to undertake review of our activities in conjunction with Federation of Muslim Organisation Leicestershire to identify further areas of improvements.
Islamic Sister’s Group:
This group meets at every weekend to discuss various topics and to learn Islamic solution to relevant issues. Guest speakers offer their views on given topics to teach/educate their audience. In addition the members are taught how to read Quran with proper pronunciation. This group provide a forum for Muslim women to express their views and opinions, support each other and organise and promote future events.

Crown Hills Community College
-
Highfields Community Centre
