Objectives and Strategic activities
The objects of the charity are set below:
TO ADVANCE THE ISLAMIC RELIGION IN THE UNITED KINGDOM AND THE WORLD FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE PUBLIC THROUGH THE HOLDING OF MEETINGS, LECTURES, PUBLIC CELEBRATION OF RELIGIOUS FESTIVALS, PRODUCING AND/OR DISTRIBUTING LITERATURE ON ISLAM TO ENLIGHTEN OTHERS ABOUT THE ISLAMIC RELIGION, PROVIDING ISLAMIC SUPPLEMENTARY EDUCATION, AND BY MAKING GRANTS TO ORGANISATIONS WHICH RELIEVE POVERTY, SICKNESS AND OTHER CHARITABLE NEEDS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF ENGLAND AND WALES.
The charity’s activities carried out in the year 2022
In both the years 2021 and 2022 , the Saleh Foundation embarked on two significant educational initiatives aimed at fostering a deeper understanding of Islamic teachings and traditions among students of all ages.
Arabic Grammar Course:
The Saleh Foundation introduced a comprehensive Arabic Grammar course, which was designed to empower students with the linguistic skills necessary to delve into the Tafseer (interpretation and exegesis) of the Quran Kareem. The primary objective of this course was to facilitate a profound comprehension of the Quranic teachings, enabling students to lead more meaningful and virtuous lives. By emphasizing the study of Arabic grammar, this initiative not only promoted a better understanding of the Quran but also enabled students to engage with its profound teachings at a deeper level. This program attracted participants from diverse backgrounds, all eager to enhance their knowledge of the Quran and its spiritual guidance.
Qirat Classes for Young Children:
Simultaneously, the Saleh Foundation initiated Qirat classes tailored specifically for young children. Qirat, in Islam, refers to the various permissible linguistic, lexical, phonetic, morphological, and syntactical forms of reciting the Holy Quran. These specialized classes were created to instill the correct and melodious recitation of the Quran among young learners. The program aimed to ensure that children acquired the skills needed to recite the Quran with precision and eloquence. By offering these Qirat classes, the foundation nurtured a generation of young Muslims who could recite the Holy Quran flawlessly and convey its spiritual significance with conviction.
The Saleh Foundation's commitment to these educational initiatives persisted throughout both 2021 and 2022. By providing students with the tools to understand and recite the Quran effectively, the foundation played a pivotal role in nurturing a deeper connection to Islamic values and spirituality among individuals of all ages.

Achievements and Performance
Throughout the year, our unwavering commitment at the Saleh Foundation was to ensure that students from diverse backgrounds, irrespective of their racial affiliations, received top-quality Islamic education. Over this period, we successfully imparted Arabic grammar knowledge to more than 200 enthusiastic students, while approximately 120 to 150 young learners participated in our engaging Qirat classes.
Furthermore, we initiated the construction of new classrooms, with a profound vision to launch fulltime Dars e Nizami Classes in the near future. This ambitious expansion became possible due to the generous support of our dedicated donors, who wholeheartedly contributed to furthering our noble cause.
