modern society.” 

## **Vision** 

Producing Imams, Du‘at (callers to Islam) and scholars through: 

1. General courses 

2. 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.

## **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:

As the charity Trustees, who are also directors for the purposes of company law, are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act'). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiners statement**

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or 

4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
