**TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE PERIOD 12TH AUGUST 2019 TO 31ST DECEMBER 2020** 

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity as a charitable incorporated organisation (CIO) for the period 12th August 2019 to 31st December 2020. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019). 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

The principal objectives and activities of Masjid Al-Noor, as set out in its Constitution, is: 

To advance the religion of Islam, by means of, but not exclusively, promoting the teachings and tenets of Islam, provision of facilities for Islamic worship and Islamic education in accordance with the teachings of the Quran and Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (Peaceand Blessings Be Upon Him) and the Sahabah-e-Keraam (Companions). 

## **Public benefit** 

The mosque carries out a wide range of activities in pursuance of its charitable aims. The trustees consider that these activities, as summarised below, provide benefit both to those who worship at our Mosque and the wider community of Boston. 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

Our Mosque provides a centre for our prayers and worship and for the activities associated with our faith. During the year under review, we offered a range of religious and community services and activities including: 

**Prayers:** The Mosque is open all day for daily and Friday prayers. During the week we have over 15 people who regularly attend daily prayers and over 60 who regularly attend Friday prayers. 

**Festivals:** The Mosque arranges other programmes during the year such as Taraveeh prayers in the month of Ramadhan, Khatmul Quran, Qayam for Lailatul Qadr and Eid-e-Meelad-un-Nabi programme. 

**Funeral facilities:** The Mosque provides a complete funeral service in line with the teachings of Islam. We relieve the deceased's bereaved relatives of the burden of organising burials. 

**Zakat** : It is a part of our faith that all who are able should offer Zakat. Zakat is collected in proportion to a person's means, in accordance with the teaching of Islam, and is giving of money for a number of specific purposes, including to help  others, and to further the teachings of Islam. A Muslim need not give Zakat through the Mosque but we do provide the opportunity for those attending the Mosque to give Zakat and we arrange its distribution for approved purposes. 

The Zakat money is used by the trust to sponsor needy students with their educational expenses, support families requiring maintenance and support other charitable organisations in natural disasters, eye and other health issues etc. None of the Zakat money is used to fund the Mosque. The Mosque makes no charge for the collection and distribution of Zakat. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

The result for Masjid Al-Noor shows Net Surplus of £25,778 during the year. This is primarily as a result of transfer of funds held for Masjid Al-Noor in the sum of £17,833 from non registered Masjid Al Noor organisation. 

## **FUTURE PLANS** 

The charity plans to continue providing various activities in future in support of its objectives as detailed above.
