JAMA-AT-UL ISLAMIYYA OF NIGERIA (UK)
REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
The members of the Executive Committee present their report for the year ended 31 August 2025.
Governing document
The charity is operated under the rules of its constitution adopted 17 December 2000. Overall management of the charity is the responsibility of the trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the constitution deed. Day to day project activity is managed and carried out by Executive committee.
Executive Committee
The members of the Executive Committee have no beneficial interest in the Jama-at-ul Islamiyya of Nigeria (UK) and are not remunerated.
Aims and objectives
The aims and objects of the Jama-at-ul Islamiyya of Nigeria (UK) shall be to:
-
study, practice and teach Islam in accordance with the Quran and Hadiths.
-
promote the interest and well-being of Muslims in the UK.
-
found, build and maintain Islamic and other educational institutions.
Activities
The principal activities of the charity include weekend and end of the months’ prayer meetings; weekend classes for adults and children; monthly youth activities; yearly Eid festival prayers and celebrations, annual family outings/trips and regular advice and advocacy as necessary. Visiting sick people at home and hospital; conducting naming and wedding ceremonies; and funeral service and prayers.
Summary of the main achievements during the period
During the year, demands for the charity's services continued to grow in response to growth in public awareness of Islam and community involvements.
2025 has been another busy, productive year for the Jama-At-Ul Islamiyya of Nigeria (UK) Mosque. Our core religious services were successfully delivered; in Ramadan, our weekly footfall more than doubled, despite the year being the longest days and shortest night of fasting.
We provide a wide range of prevalent educational and social welfare services for both children and adults, particularly those offered by our Imams who give advice and guidance daily. Our very generous congregation contributes to a wide range of UK registered charities coming to collect Sadaqah Jariyah from our Mosque, and we are also thankful for their consistent contributions to support our work.
The organisation also played an active role in the organisation of a multi faith dialogue and meeting with other faith groups. Through other Muslim organisation such as Muslim Aid, Islamic Relief etc, the organisation continue to make contribution towards collections for Syria, Turkey, Pakistan and other worldwide appeals. In addition, within the community the organisation continues to support vulnerable members of our society through giving of Zakatul Fitr and other welfare assistance.
4
The mosque continues to render services to Muslims and non-Muslims alike, on a continuous basis. Members and non-members come to the mosque to seek support in facilitating their nikkah, aqiqah, Fidau and special prayers, without ceasing. The mosque has come to be known as a place where they can meet all their Islamic needs. The Imam continue to engage with the Christian community, and he is often invited to various schools, especially Ark All Saints, a secondary school, to address students. This helps in fostering integration and cohesion within the community.
This year the organisation played a direct role in participating and assisting Southwark Muslim Forum in organising Eid-el-Fitr celebrations in the Park, and the organisation is committed to providing volunteers for such similar programs ongoing within the vicinity of the Mosque.
We continue to work with other faith groups and with Southwark Council, in disseminating useful information and direct our members and the wider community at large to other services that can be of benefit to them, e.g. help with coping with the rising cost of living, health issues etc.
This year was also a year of renewal with the whole Mosque being repainted both internally and externally, whilst rebuilding the mosque and the associated fundraising efforts remains our mid to long-term aim.
The charity’s policy on reserves
The trustees aim to maintain free reserves in unrestricted funds at a level which equates to approximately six months of unrestricted charitable expenditure in addition to funds designated towards meeting the long-term objective of the charity to acquire its own place of worship and community centre. Our policy is, therefore, to continue building up our free reserves to the ideal level by means of annual operating surpluses and judicious management of our investment assets, supplemented by general-purpose appeals from time to time.
Risk Management
The charity trustees have considered the major risks to which the charity is exposed and have reviewed those risks and established systems and procedures to manage those risks. The trustees annually review the risks that the charity faces. To date these have mainly related to:
-
Achievement of our aims and objectives; and
-
Meeting the expectations of our beneficiaries and supporters.
The trustees review these risks on an ongoing basis and satisfy themselves that adequate systems and procedures are in place to manage the risks identified.
Responsibilities of the Executive Committee
The Executive Committee is required to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Jama-at-ul Islamiyya of Nigeria (UK) as at the balance sheet date of its incoming resources and resources for the year ended. In preparing those financial statements, the Executive Committee is required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting methods have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the Jama-at-ul Islamiyya of Nigeria (UK) will continue on that basis.
5
The Executive Committee is responsible for keeping proper books of account such as are necessary to give a true and fair view of the Jama-at-ul Islamiyya of Nigeria (UK)’s state of affairs and to explain it’s financial transactions. The Jama-at-ul Islamiyya of Nigeria (UK) must also establish and maintain a satisfactory system of control of its book of account, it’s cash holdings and all its receipts and remittances, and hence is responsible for safeguarding the assets and taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Financial Statements
The financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2025 are presented in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP): “Accounting by Charities”.
The overall financial performance recorded a net increase in funds of £35,630 (2024: £69,598). Any surplus funds which are not likely to be needed to pay for activities are placed on deposit account.

Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of JAMA-AT-UL ISLAMIYYA OF NIGERIA (UK) for the year ended 31 AUGUST 2025
I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31 August 2025, which are set out on pages 8 to 12.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
have not been met; or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
