The academic year 2024/2025 ended with the hosting of the UK Fatwa Committee meeting, followed by a public summit which marked a strong end to the year’s activities.
Shaykh Mohammed Ali Belaoo who joined in January 2024, continued with his renewed vision and direction to our existing mission:

modern society.”
Vision
Producing Imams, Du‘at (callers to Islam) and scholars through:
-
General courses
-
Specialist scholarship training
With the new vision in mind, all Qur’an courses were transferred into the Ad-Dani Qur’an Academy, allowing for elevated focus and development in Qur’anic studies. Arabic Language classes have now restarted following the appointment of Shaykh Riyadh as the new Arabic instructor. In addition, a new curriculum and a partnership with an international school in Morocco have been created and will be implemented once capacity allows.
Key features
A key future objective for the BMC is to become accredited. The core curriculum will remain; however, accreditation will add value to the current courses we ofer as well new courses such as GCSEs & A-Levels. This will also become a stronger income stream as the prices charged can be increased for accredited courses.
In anticipation for future accreditation, the following changes have already been made to the Islamic Studies Diploma:
-
Creation of Module outlines
-
Allocation of oficial student numbers
-
Introduction of oficial examination
-
Introduction of student presentations – the best to be delivered at the end of year student conference.
-
Allocation of academic tutors to support students.
- Ad Dani Quran Academy
Ad-Dani Quran Academy was established in February 2024 to bring all Quran recital and reading programs under one unified umbrella. This includes services formerly under the Birmingham Muslim College (BMC), such as Qaida and Tajweed classes, along with the Lighthouse Madrasah. The academy’s mission is commitment “to developing a vibrant Quranic culture and producing strong Huffadh among the community.” With the arrival of Shaykh Mohammed, the academy has adopted a clear and inspiring vision:
-
To ensure correct recitation of the Qur’an, instilling a deep connection with its divine words.
-
To cultivate strong Hufadh who preserve the Qur’an through dedicated memorisation and understanding.
4 | P a g e
To provide enriching environments for children and adults to engage deeply with the Qur’an through expert guidance and structured learning.

Tarbiyah and Development Programmes
In July of this year, we successfully completed two pivotal Tarbiyah and development programmes: Boys 2 Men and YTMP (Youth Tarbiyah and Mentoring Programme), which was later renamed Muslim Youth Escape. Both programmes were well-received, marking them as promising initiatives aimed at nurturing the spiritual, personal, and social development of our youth.
Programme Overview and Participation
o Boys 2 Men
This programme was designed for boys aged 16-18. This year, the programme garnered 8 participant. Sessions were held on Friday evenings, covering a diverse range of topics, including:
-
Learning Fiqh with evidence.
-
Tajweed practice.
-
Islamic studies addressing contemporary issues.
-
Allocated time for building friendships and enjoying downtime in a supportive environment.
o Muslim youth escape
Muslim Youth Escape (formerly YTMP): This programme, catered to both boys and girls aged 1116, attracted 35 participants this year, an increase of 13 more participants compared to last year. The curriculum was varied, with weekly topics including:
-
Health and lifestyle.
-
Financial literacy and career planning.
-
Community outreach.
8 | P a g e
-
Spirituality.
-
Family and relationships.
Key Features
A unique and impactful element across both programmes was the "Meet Your Community" segment. This initiative invites local professionals and musallees to deliver presentations about their careers and life experiences, including lessons learned from personal challenges. This has provided participants with relatable role models, fostering inspiration and a sense of connection with their community.
Community Outreach Initiative
In March, participants from both the Boys 2 Men and Youth Tarbiyah and Mentoring Programme (YTMP) actively engaged in a meaningful community outreach initiative. They prepared and packed food parcels, delivering warm meals to residents of the local care home at Ash Lodge on Londonderry Lane.
This initiative not only provided practical support to the care home but also instilled a sense of responsibility, compassion, and community service in the youth involved. It served as a powerful reminder of the importance of giving back and building connections within our local community.
Growth and Future Prospects
The success of the cycle has led to increased interest in both programmes for the current September intake:
-
Boys 2 Men enrollment with 8 participants continued to run at £100 per term.
-
Muslim Youth Escape expanded to 35 participants, with additional spaces available.
approaches, learning what worked best for our participants. Both programs have laid a strong foundation for continued growth and impact, as well as a potential to become a national initiative in the years ahead.
Girls in Faith together
The G.I.F.T Halaqah (Girls in Faith Together) is a weekly gathering tailored for girls aged 1221.G.I.F.T) This programme provides a safe and nurturing space for young women to strengthen their faith, build friendships, and develop skills. This year we had a total of 52 attendants. This initiative provides a unique opportunity for young women to connect with female scholarly role models, fostering an environment of spiritual growth and sisterhood. The sessions also include time for bonding over a meal, strengthening the sense of networking and support among participants. The halaqah aims to nurture faith, build confidence, and create a safe, inspiring space for young women to develop holistically in both Deen and Dunya.
