This report is prepared in accordance with current statutory requirements, the constitution of the charity and the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) Accounting and Reporting by charities.
## **About Dawatul Islam Glasgow Limited**
Dawatul Islam Glasgow was established on 2[nd] January 1978 by the initiative of some dedicated Bangladeshi Muslims. First founder Committee was formed with Mawlana A.Z.M Sayeed Chowdhury as President as well as Imam. Late Mr. Azizur Rahman Chowdhury was first treasurer and Late Moulovi Abdul Awwal, Mr Anwar Miah and Late Dr. Dalilur Rahman Khan were members. Later on MR. A. R Chowdhury became General Secretary and Mr. Anwar Miah became Treasurer of Dawatul Islam Glasgow; however Mawlana A.Z.M. Saeed Chowdhury served both as President and Imam of the Mosque until September 1989.
Dawatul Islam Glasgow initially was established at the first floor of 50 Bank Street, Glasgow and the place belonged to Late Moulovi Abdul Awwal. Later, it was shifted to present address (31 Oakfield Avenue, Glasgow) in September 1981.
Dawatul Islam Glasgow started as a branch of UK Islamic Mission on 2nd January 1978 and it remained with this Mission until 16[th] of April 1978. Then it became a branch of Dawatul Islam UK & Northern Ireland. In 1987 Dawatul Islam split into two separate organizations and we decided not to be associated with any of them and became an independent body as Dawatul Islam Glasgow. We then register with Organization of Scottish Charity Registrar (OSCR) as a separate organization.
## **Aims and Objectives:**
The establishing vision of Dawatul Islam Glasgow was to run this organization as a Mosque, Islamic Centre, and social welfare organisation for the wider benefit of Bangladeshi Community as well as for all Muslim community in general.

## **Trustee Remuneration and Expenses**
The Trustees will not receive any compensation for their services as Trustees.
## **Financial Review**
We refer to Statements of Financial Activities (Income and Expenditures) and Balance Sheet in the following pages (page 8 to 15) for detailed financial review.
The charity is reporting a deficit of £10,541 for the year ended 31 January 2026, compared to a surplus of £45,515 in the previous year. The main reasons for this deficit are the significant increase in repairs and maintenance expenditure from £1,284 to £42,154, together with the reduction in restricted fund income (Ramadan and Zakat) from £38,011 to £17,450 and the loss of grant income of £26,695 received in the previous year.
As usual, our main source of income was rental income, followed by fundraising activities and membership fees from dedicated members. Total incoming resources decreased from £133,252 to £88,450 during the year. On the year-end date of 31 January 2026, our bank balance decreased to £82,582 from £88,191 in the previous year. Despite the deficit incurred during the year, the charity remains in a strong financial position with net assets of £968,555 and cash reserves sufficient to support its ongoing activities and future objectives.
Investments in properties are re-valued in 2010 (details on Balance Sheet Note 4). Note 2 explains that about £30,000 restricted funds allocation for ground floor in 2020 and 2021 (Wudu and Kitchen area) refurbishments in coming years.
The board of Trustees (For Companies House purpose, Board of Directors) firmly believe that the past trend of surplus will come back in the future and in the worse case scenario even if deficit continue, Dawatul Islam Glasgow Limited will easily pay off the short- and long-term liabilities and expenses. Therefore, Board of Trustees of Dawatul Islam Glasgow Limited is preparing this charity organization’s reports as well as accounts on going concern basis.
## **Plans for the Future**
We plan to continue with delivering current core services and activities. We will continue to seek to deliver courses and seminars to explore faith and cultural needs and challenges faced by our community. We will continue to seek opportunities to train more staff and volunteers (capacity building) and seek additional funding opportunities.
We have still some pending refurbishment works of the ladies’ section of first floor and we have active plan to do major refurbishment to basement to incorporate proper washing facilities for ablution and toilets, backyard extension, increasing capacity of attendees.
## **Risk management**
The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against hazard, fraud, and error.

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Dawatul Islam Glasgow Limited.**
I report on the financial statements for the year ended 31 January 2026 which are set out above pages.
## **Responsibilities of the trustees and the independent examiner**
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, as amended by the Charities (Regulation and Administration) (Scotland) Act 2023, and with the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). The trustees consider that the audit requirement under Regulation 10(1)(d) of the 2006 Regulations does not apply, and that there is no requirement in the charity’s governing document or any other statutory obligation to conduct an audit. Accordingly, the accounts are subject to independent examination. Having satisfied myself that the charity is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to examine the accounts as required under Section 44(1)(c) of the 2005 Act (as amended) and to state whether any matters have come to my attention in connection with my examination.
## **Basis of Independent Examiner’s Statement**
I conducted my examination in accordance with Regulation 11 of Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeks explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and information supplied by the trustees in the course of the examination is not subjected to audit tests or enquiries, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts, and in particular, I express no opinion as to whether the accounts give a true and fair view of the affairs of the charity, and my report is limited to the matters set out in the statement below. I planned and performed our examination so as to satisfy myself that the objectives of the independent examination are achieved and before finalising the report. I obtain written assurances from the trustees of all material matters.
I can confirm that this is a report in respect of an examination carried out under section 44(1) (c) of the Act conducted in accordance with the guidance issued by the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR); and that in the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention:-
1. Which gives me a reasonable cause that in any material aspect the following requirements:
- to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 44 (1) (a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4
- of the 2006 Accounts Regulation, and
- to prepare financial statements which accord with the accounting records and comply with
- Regulation 8 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations
or
2. To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial records to be reached.
