Relief work policy

Those attending our Mosque have given generously to disaster appeals arising from natural calamities affecting various countries around the world irrespective of their creed, colour and religion. The Mosque has given money to educational charities in these countries, which make funds available to meet the short-term financial problems of parents enabling their children’s education to continue. This year, as we did last year, we administered the receipt and distribution of Zakat, which is collected and distributed in accordance with the teachings of Islam for the relief of those in poverty and the destitute. We work with partner organisations, usually the local Mosque, to identify whom we can help through our committee.

Activities and achievements

Civil marriage and Nikah: The Mosque provide Muslim couples with an appropriate location for Nikah (Islamic marriage). Over 2 couples were married at the Mosque in the year.

Hifz classes: Memorization of the Qur’an is considered an important element of religious education and training. We continue to provide this facility for the young people in the Mosque. We are pleased this programme which continues to run successfully with over 2 young people regularly attending these classes.

Over 150 people attended the Mosque to hear their speeches.

• 2) the accounts do not accord with those records; or

3) the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form

and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that.
