OUR 2023 PROJECTS
1. Audiobook s
This is Seerah Foundation’s primary longterm project, still ongoing in Sha Allah.
2. Book Donation Project
Seerah Foundation are distributing our legacy Islamic books, free to those in need. Thousands of books have now been sent all around the globe to children, students, and all seekers of knowledge. We are aiming to wind down and end this project once we have distributed the last remaining books in the coming year.
3. The Online Encyclopaedia of Seerah
This massive project, to revise the content from the Encyclopedia of Seerah, build a new digital platform to share this knowledge, is still in it’s planning/fundraising stages.
Our flagship product has always been Muhammad ﷺEncyclopedia of Seerah, but it has been out of print for two decades and very few volumes are now available. We want this knowledge available in an accessible form so everyone can access this landmark work.
This is a immense undertaking and will take a lot of resources. We are still formulating aspects of this project. Follow our social media channels for more news.

2024 I.E. REPORT
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF SEERAH FOUNDATION
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ending 31st December 2024.
Responsibilities and basis of the report
As the charity’s trustees of the Company (and its directors, for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’) in England and Wales (or Scotland) (sections 193 and 353(1), Charities Act 2011) (‘the 2011 Act’).
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination. I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination, I have followed the directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent Examiner’s Statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matter has come to my attention in connection with the examination other than that disclosed below, which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect that:
-
Accounting records were kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act: or
-
The accounts accord with those records adequately; or
-
The accounts comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act. The account gives a ‘true and fair view’ which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
-
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).
During my examination of the accounting record of the charity, it was noted that alldisclosures were made in the notes for charity funds and fixed asset revaluations. This has led to the accounts agreeing with the charity’s SoFA and balance sheet. The charity’s trustees are aware of the importance of proving detailed notes to the accounts.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTANT
1. Accounting Policies
(a) Basis of preparation and assessment of going concern
The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognized at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest
(b) Fund’s structure
Unrestricted income funds comprise those funds which the trustees are free to use for any purpose in furtherance of the charitable objects. Unrestricted funds include designated funds where the trustees, at their discretion, have created funds for specific purposes.
Restricted funds are funds that are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by the donor or trust deed, or through the terms of an appeal.
(c) Income recognition
Income is recognized once the charity has an entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Donations are recognized when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. If a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognized until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity, and it is probable that those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.
Income from grants, whether ‘capital’ or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognized when the charity has an entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred. Income received in advance of the provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.
