**Amir's Report**
## report by the national uk amir
**We reproduce below an extract from the Annual Report of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association United Kingdom (the ‘Association’) for the period ending 30th June 2025 presented by Mr Rafiq Ahmed Hayat, Amir (National President) UK at the 46th Majlis Shura (Consultative and Advisory Council) UK held between 24th and 25th May 2025 in Tahir Hall, Baitul Futuh Mosque, Morden, incorporating the Annual General Meeting that was attended by the Trustees and Members (being elected and nominated members of the Executive Committee of the Association), elected Presidents, elected representatives of local branches of the Association from UK and special invitees from the Association’s auxiliary organisations and a handful of invited guests.**
I reflect on the immense blessings and grace that Allah the Almighty has bestowed upon the worldwide Community. Being part of this divinely established and continually nurtured community is a clear sign of His boundless mercy. The Association stands as a shining example of unity and faith, with a collective spirit that upholds the noble values of Islam - loyalty, freedom, equality, respect, and, of course, peace - and promotes them throughout society. Above all, we are blessed with the divinely guided institution of Khilafat, the spiritual heartbeat of our community. Under the loving leadership and prayers of His Holiness Hazrat Khalifatul-Masih (aba), the Supreme Head of the worldwide Ahmadiyya Muslim community, we find strength, unity, and clear direction in all our endeavours.

**Amir's Report**
## annual report 2025
## **Global Situation**
In light of the present global situation, the Association has taken practical and proactive steps to prepare for any potential global emergency. Throughout the year, detailed guidance was issued to local Communities, and a structured emergency preparedness plan was implemented. All households were encouraged to maintain at least three months’ supply of essential food and household items, ensuring readiness in the event of disruptions to basic services. Efforts are also underway to install water wells at key centres to ensure an independent and secure water supply during emergencies. The Association is investing in solar panel infrastructure at mosques and mission houses to reduce dependency on the national grid and ensure continuity of power in crisis situations. Work is ongoing to make home-based solar energy systems affordable and accessible, and divert electricity for private use in case of national shortages. We must turn to Allah the Almighty in earnest prayer. We must continuously beseech Him to guide the leaders of
the world towards justice and wisdom and to avert the outbreak of a war that would wreak havoc upon humanity.
## **Fazl Mosque Centenary**
19 October 2024 marked the first centenary of the laying of the foundation stone of Fazl Mosque, known as The London Mosque, the first purpose-built mosque in London. A keynote live virtual address was delivered by His Holiness from Islamabad. This spiritually uplifting message was received with immense reverence and appreciation by the attendees, setting the tone for the entire event, attended by a distinguished gathering of political and civic dignitaries, alongside neighbours from the surrounding community. Their presence reflected the continuing importance of Masjid Fazl not only as a centre of worship but also as a symbol of interfaith harmony, social integration and community service. An exhibition at Masjid Fazl itself drew large numbers of community members. The History Department

compiled and published a special commemorative publication that documents the historic visit of Hazrat Khalifatul Masih II (ra) to the United Kingdom, highlighting his esteemed participation in the Conference of Great World Religions, where he was invited as a distinguished guest to address a diverse audience.
## **Immigration Riots**
Demonstrations against Muslim migrants turned violent in some areas, fuelled by misinformation and hostility towards Muslims. Our mosque in Hartlepool was also a target for mobs, but remained unharmed. In a heartening display of true community spirit, a non-Muslim local resident from Hartlepool, motivated by a sense of justice and solidarity, took it upon himself to launch a fundraising campaign to assist the mosque. Through this initiative, the local non-Muslim community collectively raised £13,000, expressing their support for the Muslim community and their rejection of hatred and division: these funds were
me. These gatherings have provided an invaluable opportunity for education, clarification and spiritual growth. Several such sessions have already taken place, including at Baitul Futuh Mosque and in various Communitys across the UK, with strong attendance and enthusiastic participation.
## **New Mission Houses & Mosque Construction Projects**
By the grace of Allah the Almighty, we were blessed this year with the opportunity to acquire two new mission houses to serve our needs. The first in Horwich, Bolton, which was a former health clinic, is in a prime and accessible location, ideally suited for community activities in that area. The second is in Newcastle, where, after many years of searching, the local branch has successfully acquired a detached, two-storey property, previously a Kingdom Hall of the Jehovah’s Witnesses but now ideal for Community purposes. Progress continues in Dunfermline, Edinburgh and Roehampton.

Jalsa Salana 2024: A Year of Blessings and Progress
**----- End of picture text -----**
## **Jalsa Salana 2024: A Year of Blessings and Progress**
Jalsa Salana 2024 witnessed a remarkable record attendance, with over 43,000 participants from 121 nations joining this blessed event. The continuous annual increase in attendance is a true reflection of the spiritual vitality and unity within our global Community. Through the generosity of one of our neighbours, we acquired an additional field, allowing the opening of a third entrance that provided direct access to the Jalsa car park. Another notable advancement enabled the Jalsa teams to prepare fresh meat on-site, resulting in considerable cost savings and ensuring the highest standards of hygiene and quality. We extend sincere thanks and appreciation to the dedicated leadership of Afsar Jalsa Salana, Afsar Jalsa Gah, Afsar Khidmate Khalq and Nazima-e-A’ala, along with their tireless teams. Their exceptional efforts and coordination were instrumental in the seamless preparation and successful execution of this monumental event. Huzoor-e-Aqdas(aba) addressed the German Jalsa Salana remotely from Islamabad, including delivering sessions to the Lajna and the final Jalsa gatherings. He graced their centenary Jalsa with a special address. The final session of the Qadian Jalsa was similarly honoured by Huzoor-e-Aqdas (aba)’s address, underlining the interconnectedness and spiritual unity of the global Community.
## **Research Institute**
A Research Institute has been established in the United Kingdom. The Institute is engaged in several significant projects, including the discovery and preservation of important historical documents from the era of the British rule in India, as well as materials related to the Promised Messiah(as) and the early history of the Community e.g. correspondences between the then Amir of Kabul who suggested to the British Viceroy that the Promised Messiah(as) should also face prosecution but this was rejected by recognising the Promised Messiah(as)’s right to express his views without fear of reprisal.
## **General Secretary Department**
Throughout the year, the Department conducted refresher courses for local office bearers, designed to be interactive and participatory, providing a platform for questions, discussions and sharing of valuable experiences. The Department also efficiently organised two national meetings of all Local Presidents; it oversaw the elections for officebearers of local branches throughout the UK; and it organised the executive committee meetings and the annual consultative council. Around 97% of local branches submitted the required monthly reports of their activities.

## **Tarbiyat (Spiritual & Moral Training)**
The Department continued to diligently nurture the spiritual and moral development of our Association. Central to its mission has been the empowerment of Local Tarbiyat Secretaries, encouraging them to take the initiative in independently planning and leading Tarbiyat sessions. In collaboration with the Qadha Board and Umur Amma, the Department facilitated over 65 post-marriage counselling sessions and more than 70 Islahi (reformation) meetings were conducted. The Department launched a Weekly Islamic Quiz on Instagram and TikTok; produced videos on the profound importance of Salat (prayers) in the life of every believer; held a national session on the training of one’s children; and held various sports activities.
## **Tabligh (Outreach & Propagation)**
The Tabligh Department remained highly active and vibrant throughout the year, spearheading numerous
important events and initiatives aimed at spreading the message of Islam and the teachings of the Promised Messiah(as).
During the Jalsa Salana, the Department organised special sessions tailored for diverse groups, including Persian-speaking attendees, the Bangladeshi community, new converts, and newly joined Ahmadis. A major event held in the Arab Marquee attracted around 500 participants, featuring insightful speeches delivered by distinguished scholars and speakers. In addition to hosting the Big Iftar (breaking of the fast during Ramadan), a National Missionary Conference gathered 51 participants, focusing on enhancing missionary skills and reinforcing core Islamic values, whilst the National Tabligh Conference brought together 304 attendees, including leaders and Tabligh workers from across the country, providing extensive training, motivation, and guidance for future efforts. In

the digital realm, remarkable progress was made with the True Islam website, which now hosts over 1,300 searchable Q&A videos of Hazrat Khalifatul Masih IV(ra). Additionally, a major update was completed for the Rational Religion website, improving accessibility and outreach. At the grassroots level, local branches distributed more than 800,000 leaflets, held over 7,700 Tabligh meetings, and welcomed upwards of 47,000 non-Ahmadi guests. These efforts have greatly contributed to fostering understanding and harmony in local communities.
## **Ta’lim (Education)**

A Syllabus (Stages 1, 2, and 3 in A4 format) was launched; a Loan Committee is responsible for reviewing educational loan applications based on clearly defined criteria and submitting its recommendations to the Centre; a Seminar was held at Baitul Futuh Mosque, focusing on enhancing student study skills and encouraging greater parental involvement in education; it began to address Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) to better serve all members of the community; and it announced annual education awards honouring the outstanding academic and educational achievements within the community.
## **Umure Kharijiyya (External Affairs)**

All Party Parliamentary Groups (APPG) and the British High Commission in Islamabad; it arranged visits to Pakistan for very senior officials in the Foreign Office and an MEP to Pakistan to raise Ahmadi issues as well. On 7 May, a major 2-hour event was held in the UK parliament entitled The Rising Tide of Persecution in Pakistan, to mark the 15th anniversary of the 2010 Lahore attacks and highlight increasing persecution. Over 110 people attended, including 15 MPs. The Kharijyya department also tabled 39 parliamentary questions, supported 3 debates in parliament and had over 20 meetings with Government ministers and officials in the Foreign Office and Communities Department on persecution and on Islamophobia. It led campaigns on Gaza with more than 30,000 letters sent so far; on VE Day, it distributed a special card that was very well received; it ran press campaigns on several issues, including cousin marriages and the summer riots, held a national conference to train local Kharijiyya secretaries, published several new leaflets on His Holiness’s guidance on promoting peace, etc.
## **Finance**
Despite ongoing economic challenges, the Finance Department has experienced growth across nearly all major financial areas. Obligatory donations have continued to increase year after year. The online donation portal (www.chanda.org.uk) remains a steady and vital source of income, with both existing and new members regularly contributing across the UK. Strict budgetary controls across national departments, salaries, utilities, and all UK missions and branches were maintained. Enhancements in real-time financial reporting have strengthened

governance and oversight across all cost centres. Local and regional centres supported families facing hardships, including financial difficulties, health emergencies, and challenges related to refugee or immigration status. Regional finance training workshops were conducted throughout the UK.
## **Diyafat (Hospitality)**
Our communal kitchen and hospitality Department exemplifies the noble tradition of Islamic hospitality within the community, diligently fulfilling the blessed duty of serving the guests of the Founder with utmost dignity, care, and humility. Providing round-theclock service, it ensures the delivery of high-quality meals to members and honoured guests at all key centres, including Islamabad, Jamia Ahmadiyya, Baitul Futuh Mosque, Fazl Mosque, Baitul Ehsan, and Deer Park, supporting major national events such as Jalsa Salana, Majlis Shura, Big Iftars, and Majlis Sehat initiatives, regularly providing meals to the homeless and those in need and during Ramadan, distributing meals to the elderly, needy families, and single-parent households.

The department efficiently manages an average of 30 events monthly, providing crucial support to both national and regional activities, with 597 monthly support hours logged at the centre alone, excluding setup and wind-down periods. Key events received technical support in 388 events during the year.

## **Umur-e-A’ma (General & Public Affairs)**
A significant rise resulted in 624 new asylum verification cases and confirmed active membership attachment for 933 applicants. Over 1,300 new membership applications were received, with more than 1,240 verified and approved, ensuring accurate and up-to-date membership records.

## **Wasaya (Wills & Testamentary Disposition)**
The department maintains regular communication with local branch Presidents to encourage wider participation in this sacred initiative. Currently, there are 4,945 Musis (who have made a Will), including applicants, who are engaged in this noble financial sacrifice as a spiritual investment in Allah’s cause. It diligently reminds Musis who have yet to contribute at the prescribed rate, emphasising the spiritual significance and duty of fulfilling their commitments. To facilitate ease and convenience, pre-filled Schedule ‘C’ Forms containing Income details are prepared and sent out, streamlining the contribution process.
## **Rishta Nata (Matchmaking)**
The department has introduced the National Profile Deck (NPD) – which is a secure and anonymous online platform accessible via a mobile app, designed to facilitate the search for suitable life partners while maintaining privacy and compliance. Upon mutual interest, families can exchange contact information respectfully. An online refresher course was conducted for local secretaries, offering ongoing direct support and guidance. There were several ‘Meet and Greet’ events, which have been very successful. A national seminar was held at Al Mahdi Mosque, broadcast across the UK, focusing on the Islamic teachings of marriage and featuring a valuable Q&A session with a panel of scholars and experts. It reminds members that marriage is not merely a social contract but a vital act of worship, fulfilling half of one’s faith; it must be approached with sincere prayer, patience and clear purpose.
## **Sanat-o-Tijarat (Trade & Industry)**
The Sanat-o-Tijarat Department has faithfully continued its vital mission to support the economic and professional development of members.

children alike. The G6 courses innovatively integrated handwriting and memorisation components, fostering spiritual growth alongside practical discipline. Institutions such as Al-Hafizoon Academy and Madrasatul-Hifz UK continue to provide vital support and guidance for those dedicated to memorising the Word of Allah.

The National Ijtema, themed, reinforced the sacred responsibility of sharing the truth and beauty of Islam.
## **Jaidad (Properties & Maintenance)**
The Department diligently served the community through effective management of properties and facilities. In response to rising energy costs, the department secured three-year fixed utility contracts across all UK sites, ensuring financial stability and significant cost savings. As responsible stewards of the Association’s resources, energy-saving initiatives, including LED lighting, solar panels and automation systems to reduce environmental impact and enhance efficiency, were implemented. Essential repair and maintenance works were carried out throughout the year across the extensive property portfolio, including key projects such as completion of a new commercial kitchen and upgraded roti (bread)-making facilities at Hadeeqatul Mahdi; major landscaping and borehole waterworks alongside routine maintenance at Jamia Ahmadiyya UK; extensive beautification works at Fazl Mosque to honour its historic centenary and the foundation; creation of additional scanning and storage facilities at Islamabad to better serve guests

This is an outstanding reflection of dedication and excellence. Despite limited space, the Baitur Rehman Mosque in Glasgow showcased remarkable floral displays. It maintained Mubarak Mosque’s expansive grounds, featuring hanging baskets and raised beds, and earned two certificates from Farnham Council for excellence in the Summer Bloom Competition. At Hadeeqatul Mahdi, a thriving fruit garden beside the residence of Huzoor-e-Aqdas(aba) flourishes with a variety of fruits such as plums, pears, peaches, walnuts and apples, exemplifying the harmonious relationship between Islamic values and nature.

The History Department completed the historical account covering the period from the British Raj to the era of Hazrat Musleh Mau’od (ra). Currently, their focus is on the era of Hazrat Khalifatul Masih III (rh), highlighting his initiation of various schemes and his journeys to Africa. A new team has been established, tasked with interviewing key individuals in the UK who hold extensive knowledge of the community’s history. The Southall branch has documented its history up to the present day.
## **IT Department**
The IT Department plays a vital role in enhancing key areas of the Community, including administrative efficiency, communications, security, and data management. A major system upgrade was successfully completed, with valuable assistance from
the Canadian AIMS team. Cybersecurity awareness sessions were conducted in collaboration with Surrey Police, underscoring the critical importance of vigilance, especially in light of recent breaches affecting major organisations like Marks & Spencer.
## **Voice of Islam (VOI)**
The Voice of Islam radio station continues to expand and enhance its reach, now broadcasting in several major cities across the UK with plans to extend its presence internationally. The quality and standard of its programming can be favourably compared with well-established outlets such as BBC Radio 4. It covers a wide range of religious and contemporary topics, featuring numerous scholars who share deep insights within their fields of expertise. This station serves as an invaluable resource for our youth, helping them to deepen their understanding of faith while addressing the real-life challenges they face in today’s world.
## **Safeguarding**
One of the most important areas of our work is safeguarding, which involves taking full responsibility for ensuring the safety and well-being of vulnerable individuals, especially children and adults. Our commitment is to provide a secure environment that enables them to live fulfilling and protected lives. We have rigorously adhered to government guidelines and implemented comprehensive measures to protect members of the Community from harm, abuse, neglect, and disrespect. Whenever concerns have been raised, we have promptly reported them to the appropriate authorities to ensure swift action.

## **Thanks**
In passing, I place on record my thanks to our Human Resources, the host of AMA UK Gallery, Naib Amirs, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Medical Association, Ahmadiyya Muslim Lawyers Association UK, International Association of Ahmadiyya, Architects & Engineers, PAAMA (Pan African Ahmadiyya Muslim Association), MTA, Humanity First, Homeopathy, for their continuing help and support to our community throughout the year.
## **Auxiliary Organisations**
Majlis Khuddamul Ahmadiyya (that looks after Ahmadi male members between the ages of 15 and 40 years), Lajna Ima’illah (female members), and Majlis Ansarullah (male elders association) continue to play an essential and blessed role within the community. Rooted deeply in the Islamic spirit of collective service (khidmat) and obedience to Khilafat, these organisations support a broad spectrum of Community activities with sincerity, dedication, and devotion. Their invaluable contributions during Jalsa Salana, Waqf-e-Amal and in the collection of Tahrik Jadid and Waqf Jadid reflect a practical fulfilment of the Qur’anic command to strive in the way of Allah with one’s wealth and person. Their steadfast commitment to fundraising for humanitarian and charitable causes has provided vital assistance to those in need and positively enhanced the public perception of Islam Ahmadiyyat, exemplifying the noble teachings of the Holy Prophet Muhammad(sa) concerning service to humanity. The auxiliary organisations’ dedication to Tabligh (propagation of Islam) and Tarbiyat (spiritual and moral development) continues to bear fruit, strengthening the unity, faith, and values of Community members across all age groups. I extend my heartfelt appreciation and highest regard to the respected Sadrs – Mr Abdul Qudoos Arif Sahib, Mr Mirza Waqas Ahmad Sahib and Dr Qurratl Anni Rehman Sahiba – along with their devoted teams, whose zeal, sincerity and steadfastness throughout the year have been truly commendable.
## **Regions**
With heartfelt gratitude, I extend sincere thanks to Imam Sahib, Regional Missionaries and Regional Presidents for their tireless service and unwavering commitment to the community. Our field missionaries have exemplified true sacrifice and devotion, travelling extensively across the country to lead and participate in vital programmes of Tabligh, Ta’lim and Tarbiyat. Their dedicated efforts provide spiritual strength locally and play a pivotal role in uplifting and strengthening the entire regional structure, fulfilling the Qur’anic injunction to spread the message of truth and nurture the faithful. The leadership of Regional Amirs (Presidents) has been instrumental in energising their regions, fostering spiritual and administrative growth and inspiring financial sacrifices for the sake of Allah. They unify the efforts of individual communities under the broader objectives of the national Community, ensuring cohesion and collective progress. At the grassroots, Presidents serve as true representatives of the Amir, providing essential guidance that promotes the advancement and welfare of their local branches. Presidents have demonstrated exemplary leadership, sincerity and dedication throughout the year, nurturing and strengthening their communities in line with Islamic values. Branches remain the heartbeat of the national Community; their unity, discipline, and service directly reflect the overall strength and spiritual vitality of the community. When local communities prosper in harmony and commitment, the entire national Community advances and flourishes.
## **Finance Committee**
Finance Committee members’ service embodies the spirit of taqwa (righteousness), integrity and humility. This committed team diligently processes financial requests from across the country and various UK departments with professionalism and care, recognising their work as a sacred trust and fulfilling their responsibility before Allah. Financial accountability and the just distribution of the Association’s resources are of paramount importance

**Amir's Report**
and this committee upholds these values with great care and diligence. The team’s sacrifices and efforts are invaluable in ensuring the smooth functioning and continued growth of the Community’s activities throughout the country.
## **Central Organisation**
By the grace of Allah, we are truly fortunate in the UK to have the presence of His Holiness, the Supreme Head of the worldwide Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, which brings the Central Organisations’ representatives close to us. This blessed proximity facilitates smoother coordination and enhances the effectiveness of our work through the strong cooperation developed over the years. May Allah, the Most Gracious and Most Merciful, bless them abundantly, grant them strength, wisdom, and success, and continue to guide them in serving the Community with sincerity, humility, and dedication. Ameen.
## **Gratitude to Everyone**
There are far too many individuals to name and thank, indeed, in the thousands who, with unwavering dedication, humility and selfless devotion, continue to serve the Association in countless ways. Each one of them reflects the true spirit and noble teachings of Islam through their tireless efforts and sincere sacrifices. Their commitment is a living testament to the beauty of Islamic service.
## **Hazrat Amirul Momineen (aba)**
By the infinite mercy of Allah, the UK Community is truly blessed to serve under the blessed guidance of our Spiritual Worldwide Head. This unique honour allows us to benefit immensely from His Holiness’s close and personal attention to our affairs, reflecting Allah’s abundant blessings upon us. He devotes continuous care, personal time and invaluable guidance to each department, ensuring the progress and spiritual strength of the Community. We must never take this precious blessing for granted; rather, each member should renew their commitment to strengthen their bond with Khilafat and pledge
sincere obedience to His Holiness’s wise counsel. It is imperative that we embody the teachings and wisdom imparted by him in our daily lives, aligning ourselves fully with the mission of Khilafat in this blessed era. I humbly express my deepest gratitude to His Holiness for his ongoing kindness, prayers and support extended to the entire UK Community. The continued growth, success and prosperity of our Community are a direct result of the blessed presence and prayers of Khilafat.
## **Allah**
All praise and thanks belong to Allah, the Almighty, for His boundless blessings continuously bestowed upon our Association. Every moment, every breath, and every opportunity we have is a precious gift from Allah, granted by His infinite mercy and grace. It is by His blessing that the UK Community has flourished, grown in strength, and continues to thrive in its mission to spread peace, justice, and the true message of Islam. Allah’s blessings upon us are immeasurable, including the precious gift of Khilafat and the loving guidance of Huzoor-e-Aqdas(aba), enabling us to serve sincerely in His path. The strength, unity, progress, and spirit of sacrifice within our community are all manifestations of His mercy and grace. True gratitude to Allah is expressed not merely in words but through our actions, by sincere devotion, adherence to His commands, earnest prayer and dedicated service to His cause. We must increase our supplications, asking Allah to guide us, strengthen our relationship with Him and grant us success in all our endeavours. May Allah continue to shower His blessings upon our Community and grant us the ability to serve Him with sincerity, humility and excellence. Ameen.

a slimmed-down Board of Directors and Trustees of the unincorporated charity, becoming its Members who each guarantee a nominal £1 capital.

The day-to-day administration of the Association is carried out by the Management Committee, which meets once a month. Administration cascades down into local branch office bearers who are also elected every three years.

The Association does not engage professional fundraising agencies and does not undertake cold-calling or intrusive fundraising.

Key financial movements during the year included:
- continued growth in obligatory and voluntary donations;

The Trustees monitor expenditure closely and ensure that funds are used efficiently and for their intended charitable purposes.
a system is designed to manage rather than eliminate the risk of failure to achieve the Association’s objectives and can only provide reasonable, not absolute, reassurance against material misstatement or loss. The Management Committee, through the Finance Committee, has set policies on risk and internal controls which cover the following:
- the responsibility of management is to implement the Management Committee's policies and identify and evaluate risks for their consideration on an ongoing basis;
- consideration of the type of risks the Association faces;
- the level of risks which they regard as acceptable;
## **Risk management**
The Management Committee has overall responsibility for ensuring that the Association has appropriate system of controls, financial and otherwise. It is also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Association and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities and to provide reassurance that:
- its assets are safeguarded against unauthorised use or disposition;
- proper records are maintained and financial information used within the Association or for publication is reliable;
- the Association complies with relevant laws and regulations; and
- capital projects are controlled by a Capital Projects Development Committee whilst a Purchasing Committee seeks tenders and places orders on the best quote obtained.
As part of the Association’s risk management process, the Managing Committee acknowledges its responsibility for the Association’s system of internal control and reviews its effectiveness. It is also recognised by the Management Committee that such
- the likelihood of the risks concerned materialising;
- the Association's ability to reduce the incidence and impact on its activities of risks that do materialise;
- the costs of operating particular controls relative to the benefits obtained; and
- arrangements for monitoring and reporting risk and control matters of importance, together with details of corrective action being undertaken.
As part of the above process, the Finance Committee has considered the major risks to which the Association is exposed and has reviewed those risks and established systems and procedures to manage those risks.
## **Reserves**
The Trustees aim to maintain a prudent level of free reserves to ensure the Association can meet its ongoing commitments, manage unforeseen events and sustain core charitable activities.
**Ahmadiyya Muslim Association United Kingdom**
**24**
annual report 2025
**Report of Management Committee**
Restricted funds continue to include funds designated for specific purposes, for instance, for disaster relief or for Zakat, that can only be expended for specific purposes. Restricted funds include funds otherwise committed for mosques that await completion. Once the mosque gets completed, the funds collected for that particular mosque are released to the unrestricted reserve. The Finance Committee considers that, given the nature of the Association's regular income, the funds at its disposal are sufficient to meet all its needs.
## **Investments**
Investment decisions are taken by the Finance Committee.
## **Environmental responsibility**
The Association promotes an equal awareness among its members to improve both the spiritual and physical environment. The association takes all reasonable precautions and care to ensure that the environment is not adversely affected by its operations. Any unauthorised releases or emissions are reported promptly to the relevant regulatory authority as required under current regulations. In contributing to reducing the carbon footprint, the Association has invested in solar panels on its main centre in Baitul Futuh, with electricity generated being contributed to the national grid and similar panels on its new capital projects. The Association uses LED lights and recycles waste in all its centres by using licensed recycling disposal companies. The Association’s members have planted many trees in various areas of the UK. A number of our centres provide electric charging of vehicles and the Association promotes environmentally friendly modes of transport. The Annual Convention site has had underground drains to reduce soil erosion following rainfall. The Association’s seminary in Hampshire will have water drawn from the ground. There is a comprehensive plan for constant educating, training and reformation of members to look after the environment and aspire to higher moral values.
## **Going concern**
The Management Committee have reviewed the financial forecasts for the Association and have in particular considered its anticipated income and expenditure commitments for a period of twelve months from the date of approval of this annual report. The Management Committee believes that the Association has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least the next twelve months and to meet all of its liabilities during that period as they arise.
Auditors
A resolution to reappoint MCA Audit Limited as auditors for the ensuing year will be proposed at the next meeting of the Management Committee.

## **Basis for opinion**
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception**
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the strategic report or the directors’ report included within the trustees’ report. We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- adequate and proper accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been recieved from branches not visited by us; or
- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
- certain disclosures of trustees' directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit
## **Responsibilities of trustees**
As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement, the trusteess (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either
intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
## **Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements**
We have been appointed as auditor under section 44(1)(c) of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 and under the Companies Act 2006 and report in accordance with the Acts and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditors’ Report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of noncompliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below:
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we considered the following:
- the nature of the charity and sector in which it operates, control environment and financial performance including the design of the charity's remuneration policies, key drivers for staff remuneration, bonus levels and performance targets;
**Ahmadiyya Muslim Association United Kingdom**
**28**
annual report 2025
**Independent Auditors' Report**
- the results of our enquiriesof the trustees about their own indentification and assessment of the risks of irregularities;
- the process for indentifying, evaluating and complying with laws and regulations and whether the trustees were aware of any instances of non-compliance;
- the process for detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether the trustees have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud;
- the internal controls established to mitigate risks of fraud of non-compliance with laws and regulations.
These matters were discussed among the audit engagement team regarding how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud.
As a result of these procedures, we considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud. In common with all audits under ISAs (UK), we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override.
We also obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the charity operates in, focusing on provisions of those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context included the United Kingdom charity law and other relevant legislation.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities.
This description of this report is made solely to the charitable company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies
Act 2006, and to the charitable company’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with Regulation 10 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company’s members as a body and the charitable company’s trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed as part of our Auditors’ Report.

**Financial Statements**
## Accounting policies
## **Basis of preparation**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with FRS 102, and with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 applicable to charities. The Charity qualifies for the small companies regime under the Companies Act 2006, and these financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the related exemptions.
The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention, modified only by the revaluation of the London Mosque complex as explained in the tangible fixed assets and revaluation policies below.
The financial statements are presented in sterling, which is the functional currency of the Charity, and all amounts are rounded to the nearest £1.
The Charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.
## **Legal status of the charity**
Ahmadiyya Muslim Association United Kingdom is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated in England and Wales and registered with the Charity Commission. It has no share capital, and each member’s liability is limited to a nominal amount in the event of the Charity being wound up, as set out in the Memorandum and Articles of Association.
The company operates with the “Limited” exemption and is governed by its Articles of Association and the relevant provisions of the Companies Act 2006.
## **Transfer of Activities from Former Charity**
During the period, the charitable company (Charity No. 1208543) received the operations, assets, and certain liabilities of the former charity Ahmadiyya Muslim Association UK (Charity No. 299081) under a formal transfer agreement.
This transaction is accounted for as a transfer of activities between entities under common control, rather than a merger, because it involved the creation of a new legal entity with a distinct registration.
## **First Accounting Period and Comparatives**
These are the first statutory financial statements of the charitable company since incorporation. Accordingly, comparative information is limited to the period since the company’s formation; any comparative figures included reflect the previous entity before operations were transferred. The transfer of operations from the former charity (299081) is explained in the note “Transfer of Activities”.
Accordingly:
- assets and liabilities transferred have been recognised at their carrying values from the former charity;
- no goodwill has arisen;
- comparative results of the former charity are not included except as represented in transferred balances;
- this treatment provides a true and fair view of the restructuring.

**Accounting Policies**
## Accounting policies
## **Going concern**
The management committee has assessed the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. They have considered:
Restricted funds - income funds which are to be used in accordance with specific instructions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes, particularly:
- Historic and current levels of voluntary income (including general donations and specific chanda streams such as Aam, Wasiyyat, Tehrik-e-Jadid and Waqf-e-Jadid).
- UK Mosques Fund and other mosque-related funds, which are restricted to the acquisition, construction and development of specific mosques and mission houses in the UK;
- The Charity's net assets of £88.6m at 30 June 2025.
- The level of liquidity resources, primarily cash at the bank.
On this basis, the management committee considers that there are no material uncertainties that cast significant doubt on the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
- Once mosque construction projects are completed, the related restricted funds that have been applied to the cost of the completed building are reclassified to unrestricted funds, as the asset is then available for the general purposes of the Charity, and funds are no longer refundable. Subsequent day-to-day maintenance and renovation is funded from unrestricted resources.
Revaluation reserve - this represents the surplus arising on the revaluation of the London Mosque complex and is not distributable.
## **Fund structure and fund accounting**
The Charity holds the following categories of funds:
Unrestricted funds - income funds that are available for use at the discretion of the management committee in furtherance of the Charity’s objects. These include:
Transfers between funds are made when income is re-allocated in accordance with donors’ wishes, when restrictions have been fulfilled or when the management committee designates or undesignates funds. All such transfers are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
- Undesignated general funds, which represent the free reserves of the Charity; and
- Designated funds, which are unrestricted funds that the managment committee has earmarked for a particular purpose, such as amounts due to Headquarters, welfare funds and disaster funds. Designations may be varied or removed by the management committee at any time.
## **Income recognition**
Income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities (“SOFA”) when all of the following criteria are met:
**Ahmadiyya Muslim Association United Kingdom**
**34**
annual report 2025
**Accounting Policies**
## Accounting policies
- The Charity has entitlement to the income;
- It is probable the income will be received; and
- The amount can be measured reliably.
Specific income streams are recognised as follows:
- **Voluntary income- chanda and other donations** General income (such as Aam, Wasiyyat, Tehrike-Jadid, Waqf-e-Jadid, Zakat, Fitrana, Sadqa and other religious dues and donations) is recognised in the period in which the donation is received or the Charity becomes entitled to it. Where donations are received for specific purposes, they are credited to the corresponding restricted or designated fund.
- **Mosque funds and other restricted appeal** s Income for mosque projects, welfare projects, disaster relief and other restricted purposes is recognised as income for the relevant restricted fund when receivable, unless the income is subject to specific performance-related conditions, in which case it is deferred until those conditions are satisfied.
- **Amounts received on behalf of Headquarters (Markaz and related funds)**
Amounts collected that are contractually or constitutionally due to Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat International are recognised as income within designated funds when collected, with a corresponding charge to expenditure when the amounts become payable to the Headquarters, as set out in note 7.2.
- **Grant income**
Grant income (including grants received from Headquarters or other bodies) is recognised when the Charity has unconditional entitlement to the funds. Where grants are conditional on the performance of specific activities or incurring qualifying expenditure, income is recognised as the Charity performs the related activities or incurs the related expenditure. Income received in advance that relates to future accounting periods is deferred.
- **Gift Aid**
Gift Aid receivable on eligible donations is recognised as income when the underlying donation is recognised, and a valid Gift Aid declaration has been obtained. Amounts receivable but not yet received at the balance sheet date are recognised as receivables within debtors.
- **Other income (including hall hire and similar)**
- Income from activities such as hall hire, bookshop sales and similar activities is recognised as income from charitable activities or other trading activities when the service is provided, or the sale takes place.
## **Expenditure recognition and classification**
Expenditure is recognised in the SOFA when a legal or constructive obligation exists, it is probable that settlement will be required, and the amount can be measured reliably. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis.
**Ahmadiyya Muslim Association United Kingdom**
**35**
annual report 2025
**Accounting Policies**
## Accounting policies
Expenditure is classified under the following headings:
- staff time spent;
- usage of the premises of facilities.
- **Charitable activities** - costs incurred directly in furthering the Charity's objects, including:
- » Annual Convention (Jalsa Salana);
- » Broadcasting sponsorship and satellite transmission services
- » Property-related costs and maintenance of branches and mosques;
- » Seminary and Ministers of Religion;
- » Tabligh and other religious and educational activities;
- » Hospitality and kitchen (Ziafat); and
- » Other community and outreach programmes.
- **Headquarters share and other designated fund**
- **payments** - amounts payable to Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat International and similar centrallydirected contributions, recognised as expenditure when payable in accordance with the Constitution and related agreements.
- **Governance costs** - those costs associated with the governance arrangements of the Charity, including audit fees, legal and professional costs related to statutory and constitutional requirements.
## **Allocation of support and staff costs**
Support costs (including central administrative costs, office costs, premises overheads and general staff costs) that cannot be directly attributed to specific activities are allocated to charitable activities and other headings on a reasonable and consistent basis, such as:
Staff costs are analysed between those attributable directly to particular activities (e.g. Seminary Ministers of Religion, Baitul Futuh Mosque, missions and branches) and general staff costs. General staff costs are treated as support costs and allocated across activities using the above methods.
## **Volunteers**
The Charity benefits greatly from the involvement and enthusiastic support of a large number of volunteers across its religious, educational and community activities. Details of volunteer involvement are provided in the Trustees’/Management Committee report.
In accordance with FRS 102 and the Charities SORP, the economic contribution of general volunteers is not recognised in these financial statements because their work cannot be reliably measured in financial terms.
Only services donated by third parties that are of a professional or specialist nature, and which the Charity would otherwise need to purchase, are recognised within income and expenditure at their estimated fair value.
## **Tangible fixed assets**
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost or, where applicable, revalued amount, less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses.
Tangible fixed assets include:
- freehold land and buildings (mosques, mission houses, residential and other property);
- leasehold land and buildings;
**Ahmadiyya Muslim Association United Kingdom**
**36**
annual report 2025
**Accounting Policies**
## Accounting policies
- fixtures, fittings and equipment, including office and IT equipment; and
- motor vehicles.
All expenditure on acquiring or improving land and buildings and other tangible assets that yields benefits to the Charity for a period of more than one year is capitalised.
Freehold land is not depreciated. Freehold buildings used by the Charity (mosques, mission houses and other operational buildings) are generally not depreciated as the trustees consider their residual value to be at least equal to cost and any annual depreciation charge would be immaterial given their expected very long useful lives.
Leasehold properties are depreciated over the period of the lease, where material, fixtures, fittings, equipment and motor vehicles are depreciated to write off cost less estimated residual value on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful economic lives. All the fixtures, fittings and equipment are deemed to have an estimated useful life of 3 years.
The assets’ useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.
The surplus of this valuation over historical cost is credited to a Revaluation reserve, which is not distributable. No subsequent revaluations have been performed, and the Charity continues to adopt the cost model for all other land and buildings.
## **Financial Instruments**
The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments under FRS 102. These include cash, bank deposits, debtors, interest-free loans to members, trade and other creditors, amounts due to auxiliary organisations and Amanaat funds.
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value, adjusted for any impairment in the case of financial assets.
The Charity does not enter into complex financial instruments such as derivatives or forward foreign exchange contracts.
## **Debtors**
Debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due and include:
- advances to individuals and members;
Impairment reviews are performed when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Any resulting impairment loss is recognised immediately in the SOFA.
## **Revaluation of land and buildings**
The London Mosque complex is valued at a valuation determined as at 30 April 1979.
- advances to missions and branches;
- trade and other debtors;
- prepayments (including annual convention and insurance prepayments); and
- accrued income (including Gift Aid)
Loans to members are interest-free and are treated as concessionary loans. They are recognised at the
**Ahmadiyya Muslim Association United Kingdom**
**37**
annual report 2025
**Accounting Policies**
## Accounting policies
amount advanced, less any provision for amounts that are considered irrecoverable.
Where there is objective evidence that a debtor balance is not recoverable, an impairment loss is recognised in expenditure.
## **Cash at the bank and in hand**
These are cash in hand and balances with banks, including branch and project-specific bank accounts, which are available on demand or with a maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition.
Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand form an integral part of the Charity’s cash management and, when applicable, are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the Cash Flow Statement.
in accordance with its charitable objectives. These are treated as concessionary loans under FRS 102 Section 34. Such loans are initially recognised and measured at the amount advanced. The carrying amount is subsequently reduced by repayments and adjusted for any impairment losses where there is objective evidence that the amounts may not be fully recoverable.
## **Leases**
Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to the SOFA on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
## **Pension costs**
The Charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme for eligible employees. Contributions payable by the Charity are between 3% and 6% of pensionable salary, with staff making equal contributions.
## **Creditors and Amanaat funds**
Creditors are recognised where the Charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event, it is probable that settlement will be required, and the amount can be measured reliably. Creditors are normally recognised at their settlement amount. Creditors falling due within one year include:
- accruals for goods and services received but not yet invoiced;
- payroll-related creditors;
- amounts due to auxiliary organisations;
- Amanaat funds - amounts advanced by members to the Association that are held on trust.
Pension contributions are charged as an expense to the SOFA in the period to which they relate. There were no outstanding contributions at the year-end. The Charity has no obligation beyond making these contributions and paying across employee deductions; consequently, the scheme’s assets and liabilities are not included in the Charity’s balance sheet.
## **Taxation**
Ahmadiyya Muslim Association United Kingdom is a registered charity within the meaning of Schedule 6, paragraph 1 of the Finance Act 2010. Accordingly, it is potentially exempt from UK corporation tax on its income and gains to the extent that they are applied solely to charitable purposes.
## **Concessionary loans**
No tax charge has arisen in the year.
The Charity makes interest-free loans to members
**Ahmadiyya Muslim Association United Kingdom**

annual report 2025
**Accounting Policies**
## Accounting policies
## **Capital commitments and other commitments**
Where the Charity has entered into binding contracts for the construction or improvement of mosques, accommodation or ancillary premises, the unexpended contract amounts are disclosed as capital commitments in the notes to the financial statements.
Other commitments, such as non-cancellable operating lease commitments, are disclosed in the notes where material.
## **Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty**
In preparing the financial statements, the management committee is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets, liabilities, income and expenditure. These estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors considered reasonable under the circumstances and are reviewed on an ongoing basis.
The most significant areas of estimation uncertainty and judgement for the Charity are:
- The assessment of useful economic lives of fixtures, fittings, equipment and motor vehicles is used to determine depreication charges.
- The assessment of whether any impairment of tangible fixed assets is required, particularly in relation to property assets;
- The valuation and recoverability of loans and advances to members, missions and branches;
- The ongoing appropriateness of the 1979 valuation of the London Mosque complex and the continuing decision not to depreciate freehold buildings.
