Trustees’ Annual Report for the Charity Commission for the year ending 30th June 2021

Religious functions, lectures and teaching

1. Our sister charity Ahmadiyya Anjuman Ishaat Islam Lahore (UK) uses the Centre at 15 Stanley Avenue, Wembley, owned by AALF, to carry out its charitable objectives. Since the Coronavirus restrictions were imposed in March 2020 (before our current year) it was not possible to hold any gatherings at 15 Stanley Avenue after the March monthly meeting. Consequently, during the year of this report, there were no monthly Sunday meetings, Friday prayers, Ramadan gatherings or Eid functions held at the Centre. All of these (except for Ramadan gatherings which did not take place) were regularly and fully conducted online by the AAIIL(UK). Prayers and sermons were transmitted by YouTube live streaming and Internet radio, while the monthly Sunday meetings were held through Zoom participation and live radio broadcasting of the meeting.

2. During Ramadan in April-May 2021, Dr Zahid Aziz produced his daily Quran Studies in text form, as he has done for several years, and these were circulated widely to Lahore Ahmadiyya community members internationally as well as to other interested Muslims. As last year, this year also a member in Holland recorded Dr Zahid Aziz on video reading out these studies, and uploaded them daily to a YouTube channel.

Maintenance of the Centre

Within the legal restrictions of the lockdowns, volunteers of the AAIIL(UK) continued to visit the Centre individually or in groups of two. These visits were for the purposes of maintenance of the Centre and to provide assistance to the resident house manager.

Literary work

The book The Ahmadiyya Case of South Africa was published online in March 2021 and also published on Amazon as a ‘Print-on-Demand’ book in March 2021. It is some 450 pages in length. Its first edition was published in 1987 as The Ahmadiyya Case and covered our court case and litigation in Cape Town during 1982–85, which resulted in the court judgment declaring Lahore Ahmadis to be Muslims. In producing the second edition, this book was carefully checked to improve the references given in it and some important material was added to it, including photographs relating to the case taken at that time.
