## **Ibad-Ur-Rahman Trust**
## **Trustees' report**
## **For the year ended 31 March 2024**
The trust was registered as a charity 24 May 1982 and it is governed by a trust deed dated 9 March 1982, amended 14 September 2012.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the Trust's [governing document], the Charities Act 2011 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)" (effective 1 January 2019).
## **Objectives and activities**
## **Public benefit**
The Trust was established for the benefit of the public in Manchester. The main objectives of the Trust are:
- To establish a mosque to provide a place of worship for the Muslim population of Manchester and surrounding areas
- To establish an education centre to provide Islamic teachings to children and adults.
- To establish an information and research centre for the study and dissemination of Muslim thought.
- To assist Muslims in arranging marriage and funeral ceremonies in accordance with Islamic law and the land.
## **Grantmaking**
The trustees consider grant making an effective means of delivering aid using local charities. Such charities have experience, access to facilities, expertise, staff and other resources which will make them better placed to deliver aid in a more effective manner.
Examples of where aid has been delivered in this manner include, Tsunami affected areas, South Asian Earthquake areas and other natural disaster areas as well as those areas where poverty exists. This has been delivered via established and recognised charities such as, Muslim Hands, Islamic Relief and the World Islamic Mission Welfare Trust.
No such grants have been made during the current or prior year.
## **Voluntary help and gifts in kind**
The Trustees are very grateful to the users of the mosque who give voluntary donations to further the aims of the Trust. All the money collected by the Trust arises from the weekly collection after Friday Juma Prayer and collection on special occasions such as Ramadan and Eid. The Trust is also helped by volunteers who give their time on Fridays to assist with collecting donations and help the administration with general duties like cleaning and getting the mosque ready for the Friday prayers.
## **Activities**
The activities of the Trust include:
- Providing a place of worship for the five daily congregational prayers, weekly Friday Juma Prayer, Eid Prayer, Ramadan Prayers and other Holy periods.
- Providing a supplementary school for the education of children and adults in Islamic Studies, Quranic Studies, Arabic language and Urdu language.
- Carry out marriage, funeral and other services in accordance with Islamic traditions.
- Providing a mortuary where the body of the deceased can be kept in accordance with Islamic law.
- Providing a ritual washing facility where the body of the deceased can be prepared for burial in accordance with Islamic law.
- Providing help and advice for families of the deceased.
- Providing sporting and recreational activities for the young people who use the mosque.
- Providing holiday play schemes for local children.
- Collecting donations of food, clothing and money for charitable acts such as the Pakistan Earthquake Appeal.
- Collecting donations for the upkeep and running of the mosque and its activities.
- Engendering good relationships with members of other faith communities

## **Ibad-Ur-Rahman Trust**
## **Trustees' report (continued)**
## **For the year ended 31 March 2024**
## **Achievements and performance**
## **Manchester Muslim College**
In February 2017 the Trust secured the purchase of the leasehold for the adjacent building vacated by the Probation Service. The Trust was waiting for the City Council, who own the Freehold, to agree to a change of use from Probation Services to Community and Educational services, before taking possession of the building. The change in the use was agreed and the actual completion took place in June 2018 with the change in use agreed by the council in April 2019. The Trust has established the Manchester Muslim College (MMC) in the Probation Office Building. The aim of MMC is to train Imams who are resident in this country and have a good grasp of English. This is a Five year course and successful students will graduate as Imams and will be given the title Maulana (Male) and Alimah (Female).
The Trust is now running 'The Friendship and Wellbeing Group' programme every Tuesday for Ladies and Wednesday for men. The Trust has also started various community based activities for the local community.
## **Reconstruction of the Mosque Building**
The main Mosque building has been demolished and a new larger and more impressive building has replaced it. Internally the mosque is fully complete, some external works are still to be completed. The mosque has been renamed to Anwaar Ul Haramain Jamé Masjid Manchester.
## **Sisters Study Circle at North Manchester Jamia Masjid**
The Sisters Study Circle (SSC) is brought about by the need for structured activities for women and children in the local Muslim community of Cheetham Hill.
The SSC first started meeting in February 2009 on a Saturday morning in the North Manchester Jamia Masjid (NMJM) and since then they have continued to gather weekly to:
- ensure the well being of Muslim women and children in the community
- to refresh knowledge and learn more about our faith
- to assist each other in developing self-confidence and self-respect
- to enable each other to deal with issues faced by Muslim women
- to share experiences
- parenting course held for local parents.
The study circle starts with the recitation of a verse from the Holy Quran and then moves on to a short story aimed at the younger children. This is followed by a talk on a topic of interest by one of the sisters, and at the end all sisters are invited to discuss, offer their opinions and ask questions. The programme is ended by sisters joining together to recite Nasheed, Dhikr and Salaam.
The SSC has also organised programmes for the wider community such as annual Eid Milaad-un-Nabi (Birthday of the Prophet Mohammad Peace be upon him) programmes and Eid parties which are very successful.
Annually the Eid Milaad-un-Nabi programme is attended by over 700 women. Nasheeds are recited by children who study at the Mosque's evening school and by the SSC sisters. Inspiring speeches are given by invited guests and food is provided at the end of the programme.
SSC also hold fundraising Eid Parties. All the money raised is donated to the Mosque Redevelopment Project fund.The event includes a bouncy castle and games and activities for children and hot food and snacks are availablethroughout the day at the numerous food stalls. There are stalls, selling arts and crafts, jewellery, shawls and scarves, bags and shoes, books and CDs and much more. An auction of donated items generously provided by local businesses and individuals is also held towards the end of the programme. The SSC raised several thousand pounds for the Trust during this financial year.
We hope to continue with these events in forthcoming years as well as arranging events such as picnicinthe-park and day trips to local places of interest such as seaside resorts and amusement parks. In addition to holding Eid prayers in the Mosque, prayers were said in a local park (Heaton Park, Manchester).

## **Ibad-Ur-Rahman Trust**
## **Trustees' report (continued)**
## **For the year ended 31 March 2024**
## **Supplementary School**
The Supplementary School has grown from strength to strength. We now have over 200 children who attend classes in Islamic studies, Quranic studies and modern foreign languages such as Urdu and Arabic. They attend the school from 5.00pm to 7.00pm each weekday. A new uniform has been introduced to give the children a sense of pride and belonging.
25 part time teachers have been taken on to teach the children. Regular training is provided to the teachers by our Imam and they have also attended safe-guarding training provided by the Local Authority. Additionally the teachers also attended the class room management training in the year.
## **Financial review**
For the year ended 31 March 2024 the total incoming resources amounted to £813,859 (2023: £822,132). Of this income £722,456 was received by way of donations, with £226,950 classified as restricted funds being donated specifically in response to an appeal for the development of the Mosque and Zakat. The balance is unrestricted and undesignated. Resources expended totalled £896,076 compared to £604,361 in 2023.
Net deficit for the year was £82,217 (2023: surplus £217,771).
## **Reserves policy and financial policy**
The trustees have examined the need for free reserves i.e. those unrestricted not invested in tangible assets, designated for specific purposes or otherwise committed. The Trustees consider that, given the nature of the charity's work and its commitment, the level of free reserves should be such as will enable the charity to meet its commitments for the foreseeable future.
The statement of financial position shows total reserves of £7,849,413. Of this, £2,296,967 is represented by unrestricted funds which is for the support of the charity objectives.
## **Going concern**
After considering the role of Ibad-Ur-Rahman within the wider community and risk management, the Trustees have reasonable expectation that the trust have adequate resources and cash flows to meet their spending commitments for the foreseeable future. Weekly donations continue to exceed ongoing running costs of the charity. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
## **Plans for future periods**
The Trustees plan to:
- Continue to meet the needs of the growing Muslim community by offering services that are identified by the community.
- Review the management structure of the Trust to bring in new expertise.
- Have created a link between the Annex Building and the main building to provide more space for larger congregations
- Build retail or office premises on land owned by the Trust. Rental income from the premises will be a regular source of income for the Trust. Plot of land leased to food outlet.
- A second floor has been added to the Annex Building in preparation for the re-development of the main Mosque building. This has increased the capacity of this building to over 1,000 worshippers. During the reconstruction of the main Mosque building, two congregational prayers will be held on Fridays.
- The work started on building a larger mosque in October 2015. Internal work is now complete, some external work still to be completed.
- Trustees are planning to renovate the Annex building.
## **Structure, governance and management**
## _Governing document_

## **Ibad-Ur-Rahman Trust**
## **Trustees' report (continued)**
## **For the year ended 31 March 2024**
## _Trustees' responsibilities_
The trust deed requires that the trustees keep proper books of account and records showing all receipts and payments and containing all such records as may be appropriate to the running of the trust. In addition, trustees must:
- Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently.
- Make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.
- Follow applicable accounting standards disclosing any disparities in the accounts, and prepare the accounts on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the trust will continue to operate.
The trustees have also complied with their duties under section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 regarding public benefit requirement by defining the charities' objectives (Page 1) as for the public benefit and ensuring the activities undertaken during the year meet those objectives.

## _Recruitment and appointment of trustees_
The existing trustees are responsible for the recruitment of new trustees, but in so doing the trustees seek the views of the wider community. The trustees believe this approach ensures that new trustees are respected members of the faith and local communities and ensures that good relations are fostered between the Mosque and the people of the local community served.
In selecting new trustees, the trustees seek to identify people who regularly attend events and functions organised by the charity and are willing to volunteer to help in our broader community work. Potential trustees are invited to attend trustees' meetings as observers and are given more details of the charity's aims and activities and, if all agree, they are then proposed as new trustees at the subsequent trustees' meeting. This process allows due consideration of the person's eligibility, personal competence, specialist knowledge and skills.
## _Organisational structure_
The original Trust deed allows for a maximum of 5 trustees.
The powers and duties of the Trustees are clearly outlined in the trust deed. The Trust is based at Anwaar ul Haramain Jamé Masjid Manchester, 3 Woodlands Rd, Cheetham Hill, Manchester, M8 9LF.
The Trust now has 4 full time employees (Chief Imam, Trust Manager, an office administrator/caretaker and a janitor) and 3 part time Assistant Imams, 24 part time teachers of Islamic Studies, Arabic and Urdu and 1 part time caretaker/cleaner.
The Trust has set up a management committee of 31 members to help with organisational tasks. This management committee is divided into sub-committees, namely:
- Religious Affairs
- Finance/Accounts
- Education/Sports/Leisure
- Building Maintenance/Security
- Cultural/festival/catering
These sub-committees have clearly defined roles and responsibilities and their activities are closely monitored by the Trustees. Each sub-committee is headed by one of the Trustees. Decisions need to be ratified by the Trustees.

## **Ibad-Ur-Rahman Trust**
## **Independent auditor's report**
## **To the Trustees of Ibad-Ur-Rahman Trust**
## **Opinion**
We have audited the financial statements of Ibad-Ur-Rahman Trust (the ‘Trust’) for the year ended 31 March 2024 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 _The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland_ (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
## In our opinion, the financial statements:
- give a true and fair view of the state of the charity’s affairs as at 31 March 2024 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended;
- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
## **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 _Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements_ section of our report. We are independent of the Trust in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
## **Conclusions relating to going concern**
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Trust’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
## **Other information**
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 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 course of 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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

## **Ibad-Ur-Rahman Trust**
## **Independent auditor's report (continued) To the Trustees of Ibad-Ur-Rahman Trust**
## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception**
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the Trustees' report; or
- sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
## **Responsibilities of Trustees**
As explained more fully in the statement of Trustees' responsibilities, the Trustees 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 is 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 Trust’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 cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
## **Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements**
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act 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 auditor's 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.

## **Ibad-Ur-Rahman Trust**
## **Independent auditor's report (continued)**
## **To the Trustees of Ibad-Ur-Rahman Trust**
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance 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 extend to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.
As part of our planning process:
- We enquired of management the systems and controls the charity has in place, the areas of the financial statements that are mostly susceptible to the risk of irregularities and fraud, and whether there was any known, suspected or alleged fraud. The charity did not inform us of any known, suspected or alleged fraud.
- We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks applicable to the charity. We determined that the following were most relevant: Charities SORP (FRS 102), Charities Act 2011, and health and safety legislation.
- We considered the incentives and opportunities that exist in the charity, including the extent of management bias, which present a potential for irregularities and fraud to be perpetuated, and tailored our risk assessment accordingly.
- Using our knowledge of the charity, together with the discussions held with the charity at the planning stage, we formed a conclusion on the risk of misstatement due to irregularities including fraud and tailored our procedures according to this risk assessment.
The key procedures we undertook to detect irregularities including fraud during the course of the audit included:
- Reviewing the financial statement disclosures and determining whether accounting policies have been appropriately applied.
- Reviewing and challenging the assumptions and judgements used by management in their
- significant accounting estimates, in particular in relation to depreciation.
- Assessing the extent of compliance, or lack of, with the relevant laws and regulations.
- Testing key income lines for evidence of management bias.
- Documenting and verifying all significant related party balances and transactions.
- Reviewing documentation for indications of irregularities including fraud.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
## **Other matters**
Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared financial statements in accordance with "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)" (as amended) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has now been withdrawn.
This has been done in order for the financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with current Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

## **Ibad-Ur-Rahman Trust**
## **Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 March 2024**
## **1 Accounting policies**
## **Charity information**
Ibad-Ur-Rahman trust is regulated by charity commission since registration on 24 May 1982.
## **1.1 Accounting convention**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Trust's governing document, the Charities Act 2011, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)" (effective 1 January 2019). The Trust is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the Trust. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
## **1.2 Going concern**
At the time of approving the financial statements, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
## **1.3 Charitable funds**
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the Trust.
## **1.4 Income**
Income is recognised when the Trust is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the Trust has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the Trust has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

## **Ibad-Ur-Rahman Trust**
## **Notes to the financial statements (continued) For the year ended 31 March 2024**
## **1 Accounting policies**
**(Continued)**
## **1.5 Expenditure**
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
## **1.6 Tangible fixed assets**
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Freehold land and buildings Straight line over 25 years Leasehold land and buildings Straight line over 65 years Fixtures and fittings 25% on reducing balance
Freehold land is not depreciated.
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.
## **1.7 Impairment of fixed assets**
At each reporting end date, the Trust reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
## **1.8 Cash and cash equivalents**
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
## **1.9 Financial instruments**
The Trust has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the Trust's balance sheet when the Trust becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

## **Ibad-Ur-Rahman Trust**
## **Notes to the financial statements (continued) For the year ended 31 March 2024**
## **1 Accounting policies**
## **(Continued)**
## _**Basic financial assets**_
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
## _**Basic financial liabilities**_
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
## _**Derecognition of financial liabilities**_
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the Trust’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
## **1.10 Employee benefits**
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the Trust is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
## **1.11 Retirement benefits**
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
## **2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements**
In the application of the Trust’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
