## **Achievements and performance**
|Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|The needs for the religious instructions and
supplementary education for the children are
carried out five days a week, together with
learning the Holy Quran in its original Arabic
script. We teach the Fiqh (Islamic
Jurisprudence) in English and other mother
tongue languages. To this end we have
employed ten teachers who are fluent in a
number of languages reflecting the needs of
our community.
The trustees also manage the site of the old
mosque at 479 Leeds Road. The three-
storey extension to the original building has
been operational for some time now, hosting
classes for the religious education for the
girls, a much-needed requirement of the
community which had been demanded for a
long time. The original site is used for the
teaching of religious education and Quran
classes for the boys. This site had
undergone a major renovation and
refurbishment to bring all the facilities in the
building up to date.
The mosque has continued to conduct
marriage and funeral prayers service free of
charge for the convenience of the
community. All marriages are solemnised
under the Islamic Shariah, only once they
have been registered at the Registrar’s
office.
The Mosque was not open for all
congregational prayers from March 2020
due to lockdown restrictions. Ramadan
program was cancelled due to complete
lockdown. The special congregational
prayers every night during fasting month of
Ramadan was also cancelled. Face to face
teaching of our students was cancelled. Our
fundraising events in Ramadan was
seriously impacted by the lockdown. Once
the lockdowns were eased, we were able to
run limited activities at the Mosque with|
|---|---|---|
stricter regulations and social distancing measures. The mosque has started the reconstruction work on the mosque minarets, and it is expected to complete next year.
