EXECUTIVE SUMMARY – CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE
In the Name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful.
Alhamdulillah, it gives me great pleasure to present the Annual Report of Birmingham Masjid and Dawah Centre (BMDC) for the year 2024–2025. This report captures another year of faith, resilience, and community spirit. Despite challenges, BMDC continues to serve as a beacon of learning, worship, and unity for the people of Birmingham and beyond.
Since its establishment, BMDC has been dedicated to nurturing a generation grounded in Islamic knowledge, values, and character. Our Evening Maktab, founded in 2011, remains at the heart of this mission. With over 130 children enrolled and a committed team of eight teachers, the Maktab provides structured Islamic education five days a week.
Students have continued to achieve remarkable progress in Qur’an memorisation, Tajweed, Hadith, Seerah, and Fiqh. Many have completed Juz Amma and memorised between 10–20 Hadith with their meanings and lessons. We take pride in the way our young learners embody the values of Adab, Akhlaq, and responsibility towards their community.
To maintain high standards of teaching, staff development has been a priority. This year, a dedicated teacher training session was held to further enhance pedagogy and classroom engagement. The continuous demand, evidenced by our waiting list, highlights both the success of our Maktab and the growing need for expansion. Education at BMDC extends far beyond childhood. Our Adult Education programmes offer lifelong learning opportunities for brothers and sisters alike.
Weekly Tajweed and Tafseer circles, in both English and Bangla, continue to attract learners of all ages. Our Adult Ta’lim sessions, held under the umbrella of the Muslim Community Association (MCA), remain a cornerstone of Islamic growth and unity. Furthermore, the Community Tea Parties and social gatherings have strengthened relationships, allowing MCA members and regular Musali to engage in meaningful dialogue and fellowship.
Through these initiatives, BMDC continues to uphold its commitment to community empowerment, spiritual nourishment, and social cohesion. Our Religious Services— including Nikah registration, family counselling, and funeral support—reflect our holistic approach to community care. Under the supervision of Mawlana Mahbubul Haque, BMDC facilitated marriages ceremonies, ensuring compliance with both Islamic and UK legal requirements.
Family counselling and Shari’ah-based mediation services have provided essential guidance and reconciliation for couples and families in distress. Meanwhile, our Funeral Services continue to offer dignified and compassionate support. to bereaved families, assisting with Janazah ~~arrangements and burials.~~
PAGE 03
Looking Forward
As we move into 2025, BMDC stands ready to build upon its achievements. Our focus will remain on:
-
Carrying out the extension work to expand our prayer and educational capacity for children and adults.
-
Developing youth leadership and women’s engagement.
-
Strengthening Dawah and interfaith outreach.
-
Delivering high-quality community services that reflect Islamic compassion and excellence.
None of this would be possible without the tireless efforts of our management committee members, staff, volunteers and donors. May Allah reward each one of you for your contributions, and may He continue to bless Birmingham Masjid and Dawah Centre as a source of light, learning, and unity for generations to come.
Jazakumullahu Khayran.
Nozmul Hussain Chairman Birmingham Masjid and Dawah Centre

Key Achievements
Evening Maktab
Alhamdulillah, Birmingham Masjid and Dawah Centre (BMDC) established its Maktab in 2011 to provide quality Islamic education and nurture the next generation of Muslim leaders.
The Madrasah operates five days a week (Monday to Friday), from 4:30 PM to 6:30 PM, with a monthly fee of £45 per student.
Currently, 130 students are enrolled—70 boys and 60 girls—across four boys’ classes, three girls’ classes, and one Hifz class.
The Madrasah employs eight qualified teachers, and there remains a waiting list, highlighting the continued demand for expansion.
Although a separate Hifz class had been running previously, it was temporarily discontinued due to a shortage of qualified teachers.
To maintain high teaching standards, Br Nozmul Hussain conducted a teacher training session during the year to support staff development.
Alhamdulillah, over the years, many of our boys and girls have successfully memorised Juz Amma and several other Surahs. Each student has memorised between 10–20 Ahadith with meanings and key lessons.
They have also studied the biographies of various Prophets, including the life of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), and learned fundamental Fiqh, Adab, and Akhlaq. Lessons are age-appropriate and designed to ensure steady progress and spiritual growth.
We have now introduced a 8 years Alimiya programme, 3 years tajwid programme and 4 years khatam quran. Certificate will be issued for passing the following graduation levels: Completion of Qaida
End of Year Alimiya exam Memorisation of Juz Ammah Completion of Khatam Quran 2nd time. Memorisation of whole quran Certificate of completion of all 8 years of Alimiya Exam
