During the last 12 months our organisation has continued to grow and provide an essential service to the local community at large. Hidaiyat-ul-Muslimin Trust is not just an organisation but seen as an institution by virtue of being a central focal point for Islamic referral and guidance in the Old Trafford and Manchester Area. Hidaiyat-ul-Muslimin Trust continues to be the source of inculcating Islamic values and Shariah principles in the area so that we can set a good examples for others in the wider community. While we focus on the practical aspects of serving the community there remains a need to develop and represent true community voice. While it remains relatively easier to practice these values within homes and our community we still need to focus on setting examples, taking stance on Islamic principles in the wider arena, worked towards better community cohesion. To achieve this during the last 12 months the trust has started to engage with other faith groups, other muslims organisations both locally and nationally and other local community leader, and by doing show will harnest good community relations. The Trust strives to contribute to the sharing of knowledge about Muslim aspirations and needs at all levels of public and statutory agencies, amongst professionals and within the wider community. The trust as website has gone live and this is being used to post important messages, and valuable knowledge to our community. We continue to take a proactive approach in identifying needs and issues facing the Muslim community making service accessible and appropriate. Our firm belief that Islam has power to enrich our civil society – family, relationship and laws of nature including environment remains one of the focus of our organisation. ## **Services Provided** The trust continues to provide the provisions so that the Muslim community can continue to offer their daily 5 times prayers, Friday prayers and Eid prayers with congregation. We also provided additional time slots for Friday prayers to accommodate the community with different work commitments. Other Service provided by the trust is bereavement and funeral services, reducing the stress and burden at difficult time for members of our community. The trust has started to work in partnership with Manchester Burial Trust to ensure full support is provided to families during a traumatic and stressful time. Again throughout the year the trust continued to invite respected scholars from the throughout the world to provide advice and guidance to the local community. Also different events have been held throughout the year focusing on the needs of the youth in our community and further strengthening the relationship and links with the wider community of Old Trafford. ## **Ramadhan** The month of Ramadhan, brought great benefits for our local community, during which time many distinguished Scholars from around the world enriched our local community with their knowledge and wisdom, both in English and Urdu. At the same token a special thanks to our resident Scholars who continue to serve our community with such dedication and sincerity throughout year. Extended thanks to the Huffaz who lead the Taraveeh Salats during Ramadhan. Also for the first time this year the trust provided additional facilities for those student are unable to lead Tarveeh in the main congregation. Separate arrangement was made where Huffaz of the pass are able to lead Tarveeh in small groups, which assisted them in ensuring that their memorisation of the quran remains to a high standard. ## **Financial Position** . Attached to this report is the annual account for our Trust. Our Trust financial position remains stable. As you will note the trust income is largely dependent on voluntary contributions and trust relies on these contributions to meet it expenses. It is only with these donations the trust has been able to meet all it running cost and continue to serve the community. Therefore we extend our thanks to all those who have contributed generously. All members are requested to continue with their kind donations.
