EARLSHEATON AS-SABEEL TRUST

TRUSTEES REPORT

All praise is due to Allah (SWT). We send peace and blessings upon our beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAW). We thank Allah (SWT) for His continuous help, guidance, and divine support, through which the Trust has remained steadfast and resilient during what has been a particularly challenging year.

Overview and Context

The reporting period from 1 July 2024 to 31 May 2025 has been one of the most demanding since the establishment of Earlsheaton As-Sabeel Trust. Despite significant challenges, the Trust remained committed to its objectives. By the grace of Allah (SWT), we stood firm, worked collectively and continued to serve our congregation and the wider community with sincerity, perseverance, and resolve.

The Muslim population in the area continues to grow and is characterised by a rich diversity of cultural, ethnic, and linguistic backgrounds. In response to the local demography, the Trust remains dedicated to delivering religious, educational and community services that are accessible, inclusive, and appropriate to the needs of this diverse and evolving community.

Security and Protection

During the summer of 2024, the Masjid experienced several serious security incidents, including attempted breakins and smashed windows. These events were deeply concerning and posed risks to both the premises and those who use them.

Alhamdulillah, following engagement with the relevant authorities and stakeholders, the Trust was granted 24hour, two-person security cover. Two professional security guards have since been present on site, 365 days a year, providing reassurance, safety, and protection for the Masjid, Madrassah, and all users. Ensuring a secure environment remains a key priority for the Trustees.

Development of the Madrassah

In September 2024, the Trust welcomed a new Headteacher who has played a pivotal role in strengthening and shaping the Madrassah. At the start of the academic year, the Madrassah had approximately 30 students, with a renewed focus on improving educational structure, teaching standards, and holistic Islamic nurturing.

Recognising that our local area draws pupils with a broad range of abilities and prior levels of Islamic study, the Madrassah has worked to provide a balanced and supportive learning environment. Emphasis has been placed on combining academic progress with the development of Islamic character, manners, and values, while actively engaging parents as partners in their children’s Islamic upbringing and moral development.

During this period, the Trust’s third-largest classroom was fully restored and renovated to a high standard, ensuring a safe, welcoming, and effective learning environment. The Trustees’ vision remains to establish a thriving and prosperous Madrassah that nurtures confident young Muslims who embody faith, character and service to society.

Educational and Religious Activities

Throughout the year, the Trust delivered a wide range of religious and educational programmes. These included regular Qur’an and Hadith lessons, Islamic talks, and study circles designed to benefit individuals and families of all ages.

A particularly successful initiative was the Beyond Words interactive Qur’an programme, which offered engaging and thought-provoking sessions and was very well received by attendees.

2

To strengthen religious provision, the Trust appointed three Imams during the year. Their presence enabled the consistent delivery of daily prayers, Friday services, Ramadan activities, and educational programmes, ensuring continuity and high-quality spiritual leadership.

Youth Engagement and Community Programmes

Engaging young people has remained a core priority. The Trust organised a variety of youth-focused initiatives, including poetry competitions, youth talks delivered by respected Imams, and fundraising challenges aimed at building confidence, leadership skills, and a strong Islamic identity.

Fundraising and Community Events

In September 2024, the Trust held a community BBQ fundraiser, which was well attended and contributed valuable funds towards ongoing Masjid and Madrassah running costs.

Ramadan 2025 marked a significant milestone. The Trust set a fundraising target of £50,000 to support the restoration of the cottage adjacent to the Masjid. Alhamdulillah, over £65,000 was raised.

The redevelopment of the cottage has created much-needed additional space to support the Trust’s growing activities. Renovation work began in early May 2025 and is ongoing.

Despite these achievements, the Trust continues to operate under a monthly financial deficit. Sustained fundraising efforts and the continued generosity of donors therefore remain essential to maintaining services and ensuring financial stability.

Looking Ahead

The Trustees remain deeply grateful for the continued support of the congregation, volunteers, donors, and the wider community. Our focus for the coming year includes completing the cottage restoration, expanding educational provision, and working towards long-term sustainability.

We pray that Allah (SWT) accepts this work, places barakah in our efforts, and allows Earlsheaton As-Sabeel Trust to continue serving as a centre of worship, learning, and support for generations to come.

Jazakum Allahu Khairan
