aims. The trustees consider that these
activities, summarised below, provide
benefit both to those who worship at our
Mosque and the wider community of
Nottingham.
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 including:
Prayers: The Mosque is open all day for
daily and Friday prayers. During the week
we have over 100 people who regularly
attend daily prayers.
Festivals: The Mosque prepares food
during Ramadan for those attending our
Mosque who wish to break their fast
together.
Inter-faith dialogue: Our Mosque is an
active member of the Faith Communities
Forum for the Nottingham area. We use
this platform to promote inter-faith dialogue
and social cohesion.
Zakat: It is a part of our faith that all who
are able should offer Zakat. Zakat is
collected in proportion to a person’s
means, in accordance with the teaching of
Islam, and is the giving of money for a
number of specific purposes, including to
help others, and to further the teachings of
Islam. A Muslim need not give Zakat
through the Mosque but we do provide the
opportunity for those attending the Mosque
