| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | We have managed to establish our website, a dedicated YouTube channel, A very active social media section with thousands of followers on our Facebook page and regular outreach stalls that take place weekly. We have also been holding the mentoring and training of our team of trustees, volunteers and the people accepting the Islamic faith. We have been conducting Our training and teaching sessions which have moved online due to covid restrictions but continue to be available for the wider community to join in. These sessions are broadcast live on YouTube and stay on our YouTube channel for anyone to benefit from it. We have between 70 to 90 members of public attending these sessions live, which take place three times a week. In addition our YouTube channel subscription has surpassed hundreds, thus benefitting a wide range of public viewers. These sessions are focused on explaining the message of Islam in clear and simple terms to dispel any misconceptions about Islam and at the same time to develop positive community relations with a view to building stronger and safer communities across the country. It was perhaps this aspect of our sessions that was recognised by the mainstream media and BBC Scotland’s Sunday faith programme broadcast on 14thFeb 2021 our Friday sermon on the topic “Commonalities between Islam, Christianity and Judaism Social media interactions have provided an easily accessible platform for the Muslim community members as well as the wider community to engage in a mutually respectable manner. Many questions have been answered and myths busted about the misconceptions about Islam. |
These objectives in mind we have been able to produce about 50 small booklets and the complete translation of the Quran in English language, tailored to the audience in UK. A complete biography of the last messenger Muhummed Pbuh has been compiled as well in order to present the life story of the Messenger for wider community with a view to spreading awareness about the true nature of his person thus dispelling any misconceptions and helping build stronger community relations based on evidence and mutual respect. We have managed to develop good relations with various community organisations in order to form partnerships for the furtherance of our objectives. Our partners include the central mosque of Birmingham, radio salaam Birmingham, Airdrie Mosque in Scotland, FACIC a community organisation in Scotland that works with the local council to dispel misconception about Islam by organising community open days and providing food bank and counselling services to youth. We provide all literature, pop up exhibition stands, posters and other printing material to FACIC to facilitate the conduct of their activities. We are open to helping all such organisations up and down the country. We have been providing literature and copies of Quran to various prisons in UK on request of the prison services. This has opened another avenue of public benefit by helping the prisoner inmates on their road to rehabilitation and identifying their spiritual needs with a view to strengthening their self-image and making them positive and constructive citizens on their release.
