Trustees' Report
The trustees are pleased to present their report and the financial statements of Jalalia Jamme Masjeed Enfield for the year ending 31st December 2024.
Alhamdulillah, the year 2024 has been another remarkable period of growth, development, and engagement for our community. Jalalia Jamme Masjeed Enfield continues to serve as a central hub for worship, learning, and unity. The masjid provides a welcoming environment for the five daily congregational prayers, along with the larger Friday Jumu’ah prayers, which consistently draw many worshippers seeking spiritual connection and community support.
This year, we are especially grateful to announce the purchase of the ground floor unit at 14–16 Colwell Crescent, a significant milestone in our journey. This additional space allows us to accommodate more worshippers and expand our range of community activities. The new facility provides improved access, more room for educational programmes, and greater opportunities for engagement with the local community.
In addition to our regular prayers, we have continued to expand our educational and community initiatives. Our supplementary classes for children focus on both Islamic education and personal growth, while our collaboration with local schools and educational institutions through visits and outreach initiatives continues to strengthen community ties.
Throughout the year, we hosted a number of lectures, seminars, and study circles, inviting esteemed scholars and speakers to share valuable knowledge on contemporary and spiritual topics. Our Ramadan iftar gatherings fostered unity and reflection among attendees, while our ongoing Tafsir and Qur’an classes have deepened understanding of the Holy Qur’an for participants of all ages.
The charity has also maintained its commitment to supporting those in need through fundraising events and charitable initiatives. We continue to provide essential services such as funeral prayers (Janazah), wedding assistance (Nikah), and counselling services, ensuring that we stand by our members during important life events and times of need.
This annual report highlights the key facilities, services, and achievements of the year, reflecting our unwavering dedication to serving and uplifting our community. The trustees extend their heartfelt gratitude to all members, volunteers, and donors for their tireless efforts and generosity, which have been vital to the ongoing success of the masjid.
The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out on pages 3 to 10, and adhere to the Charity’s Constitution and applicable law. The organisation remains a registered non-profit charity, operating entirely for the benefit of the community.
Governance, Structure, and Management
Jalalia Jamme Masjeed Enfield (JJME) operates as an unincorporated association and had a membership of 162 individuals in 2024. The organisation is overseen by an Executive Committee, consisting of fifteen elected members who serve as the charity’s trustees.
The Executive Committee is governed by the Constitution originally adopted at an extraordinary members’ meeting on 30th April 2000, with subsequent amendments approved on 25th November 2012, 1st November 2015, and 16th April 2017. JJME has been a registered charity since 15th January 2013, under registration number 1150491.
The current trustees were elected in October 2022 and will serve a four-year term, in accordance with the charity’s governing document.
In addition to its charitable activities, JJME also oversees a separate limited company — Jalalia Jamme Masjeed Enfield Limited (company no. 13264318). All of the charity’s assets are held by this company, which operates in close collaboration with the Executive Committee. The Executive Committee
3
Jalalia Jamme Masjeed Enfield Charity Number: 1150491
members are also the members of the company, ensuring consistency in leadership, oversight, and decision-making across both entities.
The members are currently exploring the process of formally bringing the charity under the structure of the limited company, to further strengthen governance, operational efficiency, and long-term sustainability.
As the first mosque established in Enfield (originally known as Enfield Mosque), JJME continues to play a vital and historic role in providing prayer services and a wide range of religious, educational, and community facilities for Muslims in the area.
The trustees wish to express their sincere gratitude to all volunteers who have generously given their time and effort throughout the year — particularly those involved in fundraising activities and community support initiatives. We are deeply appreciative of the ongoing generosity of our members and the wider public, whose donations and in-kind support enable us to continue delivering and expanding our essential services.
JJME’s Aims and Objectives
The charity is dedicated to advancing the Islamic faith in Enfield for the benefit of the public. We strive to achieve this through a wide range of activities, including hosting congregational prayers, organizing religious lectures, celebrating Islamic festivals, and producing or distributing educational materials that promote understanding of Islam.
Our mission is to serve both the local Muslim community and the wider non-Muslim population. We remain committed to fostering a peaceful, respectful, and cohesive Enfield — a borough where people of all backgrounds can learn from one another and work together for the common good.
JJME continues to provide the five daily congregational prayers, along with a variety of community and educational initiatives, such as school visits, charity fundraising, funeral services, marriage (Nikah) ceremonies, Islamic education, and Eid celebrations.
When planning our annual activities, the trustees carefully consider the guidance provided by the Charity Commission on public benefit, with particular attention to the recommendations relating to the advancement of religion.
Prayer Facilities
The mosque remains open daily throughout the year for the five obligatory Islamic prayers, including the main weekly Jumu’ah (Friday) prayer, which continues to be held in two sessions to accommodate the growing congregation.
Alhamdulillah, 2024 has been another year of progress and expansion. JJME successfully purchased the rear hall, which now allows us to accommodate more worshippers and host additional community activities. This expansion marks a major milestone in our ongoing development and service to the community.
The new hall also provides dedicated space for sister-focused activities, including Jumu’ah prayer sessions for sisters, ensuring inclusivity and equal access to worship.
We are also renovating the mosque’s kitchen, with plans to reopen it in Ramadan 2025, enabling us to host larger iftar gatherings and community meals. In addition, work is underway to establish a funeral preparation room, which will begin providing services during 2025, allowing us to offer essential end-oflife support to our community in a dignified and compassionate manner.
Weekly attendance has continued to increase, particularly during Ramadan, when the mosque experiences exceptionally high participation. Local schools also continue to visit the mosque, providing students with opportunities to observe prayers and learn more about Islamic practices and community life.

Jalalia Jamme Masjeed Enfield Charity Number: 1150491
Our imams deliver daily religious reminders (taqreer) after one of the evening prayers, helping congregants reflect on key teachings of Islam and deepen their spiritual understanding. These moments of reflection contribute greatly to the personal growth and unity of our community.
Special Religious Occasions
JJME takes great pride in organising Eid prayers twice a year, with three separate congregations held at the mosque to ensure everyone can take part in the celebrations. the final Eid congregation is held at Ponders End Park, in collaboration with the Eid in the Park Committee. This outdoor gathering provides a joyful and inclusive environment for families to worship and celebrate together.
Dedicated facilities for sisters are provided at every Eid and major event, ensuring comfort and full participation. Through these efforts, JJME continues to strengthen the bonds of faith, family, and community, creating lasting memories of togetherness and gratitude.
Children’s Classes
Education continues to be one of the core objectives of Jalalia Jamme Masjeed Enfield (JJME). The masjid remains home to the Nakhla Madrasa, which provides Islamic supplementary education to children under the supervision of our Imams and qualified teachers.
Throughout 2024, the madrasa continued to flourish, with both student enrolment and teaching staff numbers remaining strong. The management team maintained its focus on improving the quality of teaching, strengthening communication with parents, and ensuring that each student receives personalised support and guidance in their learning journey.
To meet the ongoing growth in demand, Nakhla successfully recruited additional teachers, ensuring that class sizes remain manageable and that pupils continue to receive high-quality instruction. Regular student assessments and parent–teacher meetings were held to monitor progress and enhance collaboration between families and the madrasa.
During the summer holidays, JJME once again opened its doors for the Darul Qiraat programme, an intensive Qur’an recitation course designed to help children refine their pronunciation and deepen their connection with the Qur’an. The programme provided a productive and spiritually enriching environment for young people during the school break. Students participated in recitation competitions, and their achievements were celebrated at a completion ceremony in late August, where certificates and awards were presented to recognise their hard work and dedication.
Adult Qur’an Classes
JJME remains deeply committed to promoting lifelong learning and enhancing religious understanding through its Adult Qur’an Classes, held weekly at the masjid. These sessions continue to attract participants from diverse backgrounds, including new Muslims and those seeking to strengthen their Qur’anic recitation, Arabic language skills, and overall understanding of Islamic teachings.
The classes offer a supportive and inclusive environment where attendees can explore the meanings and applications of the Qur’an, ask questions, and develop greater confidence in their faith. In addition to structured lessons, the mosque facilitates interactive discussions, one-on-one learning opportunities, and informal social gatherings that encourage reflection and community bonding.
Through these initiatives, JJME continues to serve as a vital centre for Islamic learning and community connection, helping adults of all ages to deepen their spiritual understanding and strengthen their commitment to faith and good character.
Religious Advice and Support for Women
Recognising the importance of providing dedicated educational and spiritual opportunities for women, JJME has continued to expand its range of activities for sisters in 2024. Weekly women’s classes are held every Tuesday and Thursday from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM, creating a welcoming space where
5
Jalalia Jamme Masjeed Enfield Charity Number: 1150491
sisters can learn, reflect, and engage with one another in an atmosphere of mutual respect and encouragement.
In partnership with the Hidaayah Sisters, a respected local network of female scholars, Jalalia Jamme Masjeed Enfield (JJME) hosted several special educational sessions throughout the year. These included a series of lessons and a new programme titled “The Promised Women of Jannah”, exploring the lives of the four noble women whom the Prophet ﷺ described as “the best among the women of Paradise” — Khadijah (RA), Fatimah (RA), Maryam (AS), and Asiyah (AS).
These sessions were especially well-received by teenage girls, helping to deepen their understanding of Islamic history and strengthen their sense of faith and identity.
The mosque continues to encourage active female participation in its educational and community programmes. With the expansion of facilities following the purchase of the rear hall, sisters now have greater access to space for learning, social, and religious activities — including dedicated Jumu’ah (Friday) prayers for women, which will take place regularly in the new hall.
Through these initiatives, JJME remains dedicated to empowering our sisters through knowledge, faith, and community engagement, fostering confidence and spiritual growth within a supportive Islamic environment.
JJME Hajj and Umrah Seminar
As part of its continuous efforts to promote Islamic learning and community engagement, Jalalia Jamme Masjeed Enfield (JJME) successfully organised Hajj and Umrah seminars during the year.
The sessions were designed to guide and prepare community members planning to undertake these sacred journeys. Each seminar covered both the spiritual dimensions and practical requirements of performing Hajj and Umrah in accordance with the Qur’an and Sunnah.
-
Led by imam Muhi uddin and Hajj the seminars provided:
-
Step-by-step explanations of the rituals and obligations of Hajj and Umrah
-
Guidance on travel preparations, documentation, and health requirements
-
Advice on maintaining spiritual focus and discipline during the pilgrimage
-
A Q&A session, allowing participants to seek clarification on various aspects of the journey
The seminars were well-attended and received very positive feedback. Many participants expressed gratitude for the clarity, organisation, and practical advice shared during the sessions.
Through initiatives such as these, JJME continues to serve as a centre of knowledge and guidance, helping members of the community fulfil their religious duties with confidence, understanding, and sincerity.
Shahada:
The masjid was truly honored when several brothers expressed their desire to embrace Islam by taking their Shahada. In this sacred moment, the imams met with each individual, discussing their journey and confirming their commitment to entering the faith. They answered any questions and provided guidance, ensuring that the new Muslims felt supported and informed about their decision.
For those who felt comfortable, the Shahada was celebrated publicly after the congregational prayers, marking a joyful occasion for both the new converts and the community. This public declaration not only signifies their commitment but also strengthens the bonds of brotherhood within the mosque.
Even after the ceremony, the imams continued to offer ongoing support and guidance, helping the new Muslims navigate their spiritual paths. This enduring relationship fosters a sense of belonging and community, reinforcing the masjid’s role as a welcoming place for all who seek to deepen their faith.

Counselling and Pastoral Support
At Jalalia Jamme Masjeed Enfield (JJME), the Imams play a vital role in supporting the spiritual, emotional, and personal wellbeing of our congregation. They are readily available to offer guidance and reassurance through a variety of channels — including in-person meetings, phone calls, text messages, and emails.
Our imams provide thoughtful, faith-based advice tailored to each individual’s circumstances, addressing a wide range of issues such as marriage, family dynamics, inheritance, financial matters, and other personal or spiritual concerns. Each year, they respond to well over a thousand inquiries, most commonly through one-to-one consultations or phone discussions, but also through digital correspondence.
Recognising that some situations require additional care or specialist input, the imams work closely with external organisations and professional services to ensure that individuals and families receive the appropriate support. This compassionate and holistic approach continues to foster a caring, trustworthy, and inclusive environment within the JJME community.
Whether someone is facing a personal difficulty or seeking spiritual clarity, the imams remain dedicated to listening, advising, and guiding worshippers with sincerity and empathy.
Guest Speakers
Throughout the year, JJME has had the honour of hosting a number of distinguished guest speakers who have enriched the community’s spiritual and educational experience.
Among those who graced our gatherings were Mufti Abdul Muntaqim, Shaikh Hasan Ali, Mawlana Ishaq Boodi, Shaikh Khidir Hussain, Moulana Abdul Kahar and Mawlana Abdur Rahman Nizami. Their inspiring talks and deep insights offered valuable reflections on faith, character, community, and the challenges of modern life.
These sessions have not only strengthened our community’s understanding of Islam but also encouraged active learning, reflection, and unity among worshippers of all ages.
Ramadan 2024
Fasting for Ramadan began on Monday, 11th March 2024, and continued for 29 days, concluding with the celebration of Eid al-Fitr on Wednesday, 10th April 2024.
Throughout this blessed month, our Imams led daily programs featuring insightful talks on Islamic social etiquette, reflections on Ramadan, and Qur’an study circles, creating a spiritually uplifting atmosphere for the entire community.
In addition to our three resident imams, a guest imam led the Khatm Taraweeh prayers. To accommodate brothers unable to attend the main congregation, a second, shorter jamaa’ah was also held at midnight each night.
As part of our community engagement efforts, JJME launched the “Donate Your Time” initiative, encouraging individuals to contribute their skills and time to support the mosque’s services. The JJME Youth played an active role throughout Ramadan, organising bake sales and fundraising events to support community projects.
Dedicated facilities were provided for sisters to perform Taraweeh prayers on the top floor, ensuring a comfortable and welcoming environment for all worshippers.

Ice Cream Circle
Continuing the success of previous years, the Ice Cream Circle returned during the last ten nights of Ramadan, following Taraweeh prayers and running until just after midnight.
This relaxed and friendly gathering brought together brothers from diverse backgrounds to enjoy refreshments, share reflections, and participate in guided discussions led by our imams and Ahlul Qur’an. The event offered spiritual upliftment and brotherhood in an informal, welcoming environment.
Iftar
By the grace of Allah, JJME was able to host daily iftar gatherings throughout Ramadan, with over 200 attendees each evening.
This was made possible through the generosity of Local business community donors and volunteers. The initiative was especially valuable during the ongoing cost-of-living crisis, providing relief and support for families, students, and asylum seekers in need.
Student Appreciation Meal
The annual Student Appreciation Meal took place during the summer holidays, celebrating the achievements of students who had completed their GCSEs, A-Levels, university degrees, or Qur’anic studies.
The event brought students together to share experiences, enjoy a communal meal, and receive guidance from qualified teachers on future educational and career pathways.
As part of the programme, there was also a short motivational speech tailored to the stage of life that students are about to embark on — offering valuable advice and encouragement to help them progress in both Deen and Dunya (spiritual and worldly terms).
The event was open to young brothers and sisters within our community who are engaged in full-time Islamic or Qur’anic studies, or are between the ages of 16 and 21 and pursuing mainstream education or employment.
Through these initiatives, JJME continues to nurture a vibrant, inclusive, and faith-driven community, supporting members of all ages in their spiritual, educational, and personal development.

School Initiatives
In 2024, JJME continued to strengthen its positive relationship with local schools, welcoming pupils and teachers to visit the masjid and learn more about its role within the community. These visits allow students to observe how Muslims perform their daily prayers and to explore the educational and social activities that take place in a mosque.
The masjid remains committed to promoting understanding, tolerance, and community cohesion. Children from all backgrounds and faiths are warmly welcomed to visit JJME, experiencing the masjid as a vibrant community hub that is open and inclusive for everyone.
In addition to coordinating and hosting school visits, our Imams also visit schools upon request to deliver engaging talks and assemblies, helping students learn about Islam in an interactive and meaningful way while building bridges between the masjid and local educational institutions.
Throughout 2024, JJME was visited by numerous local schools, teachers, and student groups, many of whom are now regular visitors. By the grace of Allah, the feedback received has been overwhelmingly positive, with teachers and pupils alike expressing appreciation for the educational value and warm hospitality shown during their visits.
Several schools have also kindly made donations to support JJME’s education programme, helping to maintain and replenish resources used during school visits.
JJME extends heartfelt thanks to the dedicated volunteer brothers and sisters whose efforts make these visits possible.
Nikaah
The masjid provided Islamic marriage services throughout the year. The imams conducted the services in accordance with the Qur’an and Sunnah, providing advice to the newlywed and praying for them.

Achievements and Performance (2024)
The demand for the charity’s services has continued to grow, reflecting both the increasing needs of the Muslim community and the wider public interest in learning about Islam. Throughout 2024, the Charity carried out a range of religious, educational, and community-based activities, benefiting worshippers at the mosque and the wider community across Enfield and neighbouring areas.
Daily congregational prayers continue to be held regularly, alongside Jumu’ah and Eid services, lectures, youth activities, educational classes, and outreach initiatives — many of which are detailed in the earlier sections of this report.
Due to the continued increase in congregation size and frequent overflow of worshippers outdoors, the Trustees remain focused on the ongoing expansion of mosque facilities to meet community needs and extend the range of services provided.
Building upon the major property acquisitions completed in recent years, JJME. has made significant progress in 2024 toward developing and utilising new spaces:
-
Following the successful purchase of the ground floor unit at 14-16 Colwell Crescent, Block B1 secured on a 125-year lease and completed in December 2023 — the committee has been actively working on interior design and planning for this property.
-
Proposed developments include creating a dedicated funeral service facility, a community kitchen, and additional prayer and activity spaces, all designed to enhance the quality and accessibility of services offered to the public.
The Trustees are also continuing efforts to develop the adjacent land acquired in 2023, for which planning applications and consultations with architects are ongoing. This expansion remains a key priority in addressing space constraints and supporting the long-term vision of the masjid.
These projects reflect JJME’s ongoing commitment to serving the spiritual, educational, and social needs of the community, ensuring that the masjid continues to be a beacon of faith, service, and unity for generations to come.
Future Plans
Looking ahead, the Trustees of JJME remain committed to strengthening the mosque’s capacity, expanding its facilities, and enhancing the quality of services provided to the community. The following priorities will guide our work in the coming year:
-
Continuing maintenance and improvement of the existing mosque building through ongoing appeals and fundraising efforts.
-
Developing the newly acquired land adjacent to the masjid and the unit at 16 Colwell Crescent, ensuring both sites are fully utilised to meet the growing needs of our congregation.
-
Ongoing campaigning for donations towards the Masjid Expansion Project, which will allow us to provide:

Increased facilities for women,
-
Additional space for our ever-growing congregation, and
-
Improved amenities to support adult and children’s educational and community programmes.
-
Negotiating and securing burial plots at Chingford (Garden of Firdaws) under the name JJME, to ensure future availability for our community.

Policy on Reserves
It is the policy of the Charity to maintain unrestricted funds at a level sufficient to cover unforeseen major expenditures or temporary income shortfalls.
The Trustees have reviewed the level of reserves held by the Charity and have concluded that the current reserves are adequate to ensure effective management of operations and to enable JJME to continue providing uninterrupted services for the foreseeable future.
The Trustees will continue to monitor the reserves annually to ensure financial sustainability and prudent stewardship of community funds.
Risk Assessment
The Trustees have established a comprehensive risk management strategy, which includes:
-
Conducting an annual review of the principal risks and uncertainties facing the Charity;
-
Implementing policies, systems, and procedures to mitigate identified risks; and
-

Risks are continuously reviewed and monitored throughout the year. Any emerging concerns are promptly reported to the Trustees, who evaluate and implement appropriate actions to minimise risk and safeguard the Charity’s assets, reputation, and operations.
