| he Tajweed Course | ||||||||
| ajweed is the science of learning how to |
||||||||
| recite the noble Quran in the correct |
||||||||
| manner. This begins with perfecting the |
||||||||
| pronunciation ofthe Arabic letters before |
||||||||
| moving on to the rules of recitation. |
||||||||
| lot of muslims did not have the |
||||||||
| opportunity to study tajweed at a young |
||||||||
| ge. Many may have studied it but lost their |
||||||||
| connection with the Quran. The Tajweed |
||||||||
| Course was started to fill a void and allow | ||||||||
| or adults to study tajweed without feeling |
||||||||
| uncomfortable. | ||||||||
| Our Tajweed course for brothers and sisters |
||||||||
| consists of5 different levels so a student |

|||||||||
| ccuracy, fluency and confidence. | |||||||||
| he Tajweed course runs every Sunday | |||||||||
| rom 10am-12pm, with 3 intakes each year. | |||||||||
| Due to high demand, we have now started |
|||||||||
| classes on Tuesdays for sisters, to meet the |
|||||||||
| demand. | |||||||||
| Maktab | |||||||||
| Maktab is the bedrock of a Muslim | |||||||||
| community and instils all the tools and |
|||||||||
| ttributes required for a prosperous future. |
|||||||||
| he As-Suffa maktab is for children | |||||||||
| between the ages of5-12to learn how to |
|||||||||

| tudy option for those who cannot commit | |||||||||
| he time and/or would like to increase their |
|||||||||
| knowledge on a particular topic. |
|||||||||
| Online course | |||||||||
| Due to the pandemic, all ofour courses |

| moved to our online portal. This attracted | a | ||||||||
| new wider audience. We have invested in a |

|||||||||
| Homeless | |||||||||
| Over 300,000 people in the UK are either |
|||||||||
| homeless or living in inadequate |
|||||||||
| ccommodation. 94%of homeless people |
|||||||||
| re unemployed, 72% have some sort of |
|||||||||
| mental health illness and 56% have a long |
|||||||||
| tanding physical impairment. With such |
|||||||||
| tartling figures, As-Suffa initiated their first |
|||||||||
| outreach project to aid the most vulnerable |
|||||||||
| of our community, with a vision to make a |
|||||||||
| change. | |||||||||

| Food Bank | |||||||||
| he As-Suffa Food Bank project was | |||||||||
| initiated in 2016and is an extension of |
|||||||||
| our Homeless project. From our own |
|||||||||
| experiences offeeding the homeless we |
|||||||||
| ound that families were visiting the | |||||||||
| Homeless provision, as they didn't have |
|||||||||
| nough food to feed their families and | |||||||||
| loved ones. The main objective ofthe | |||||||||
| project is to provide emergency weeks orth ofgroceries to service users who |
|||||||||
| have accommodation but are going |
|||||||||
| hrough crisis. | |||||||||
| Domestic Abuse Counselling | |||||||||
| Our Domestic Abuse Counselling | |||||||||
| ervice was developed in response to |
a | ||||||||
| rising need within our community to upport victims ofdomestic abuse. Existing support functions for victims |
|||||||||
| and survivors ofdomestic abuse, |
|||||||||
| particularly from the Muslim community, |
|||||||||
| are either inaccessible or not sensitive |
|||||||||
| nough ofthe dilemmas faced by |
|||||||||
| ervice users from this specific context. | |||||||||
| e have an average of 10clients per | |||||||||
| month who are undergoing counselling. |
|||||||||
| he pattern of new client referrals and | |||||||||
| counselling for eligible clients seems |
to | ||||||||
| be consistent across the year. Each | |||||||||
| client is offered up to 6 months free |
|||||||||
| counselling. | |||||||||
