Story

Assalāmu ʿalaykum wa raḥmatullāhi wa barakātuh

Alhamdulillah, with our combined effort, donations and duas we have managed to raise approx. £15,000 already. Jazākumullāhu khayran to everyone  who donated

During this blessed month of Ramadhan it would be amazing if we could reach at least £30,000, inshallah.  

My wife and I have been active volunteers for many years at Birmingham Central Mosque (BCM) and would like to raise £50,000 to support this renovation project. BCM is one of the largest Mosques in Europe and has served the community for 50 years and has been the focal point for Muslims in Birmingham and across the country. The Marriage Bureau, Family Counselling Clinics, Shariah Council, Evening and Weekend School, Food Bank and Funeral service are just some of the services offered to the general public. BCM also provides educational visits to approximately 10,000 non-Muslims each year and is one of the recommended sites to visit in Birmingham for tourists. 

By the grace of Allah, the extension project will give the Mosque a new modern but contemporary look (as seen from the photographs above). On completion of the work, the Mosque will enjoy, amongst on other facilities, a welcoming reception lobby, meeting rooms, offices, community rooms, a cafe and of course a user friendly wudhu facility for men and women. This will InshaAllah set our Mosque in good place to serve the Muslim and non-Muslim community for decades to come. 

We urge you to donate generously towards this renovation and make this an opportunity for Sadaqa-e-Jaariyah for you and your loved ones. This is also a perfect opportunity to donate on behalf of family members who have passed away.

عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ بَنَى مَسْجِدًا لِلَّهِ بَنَى اللَّهُ لَهُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ مِثْلَه – صحيح البخاري صحيح مسلم

Uthman ibn Affan may Allah be pleased with him reported: The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said, “Whoever builds a mosque for Allah, Allah will build for him a house like it in Paradise” – (Sahih Bukhari & Sahih Muslim).

Know that our wealth is a blessing bestowed on us by Allah (swt) and what better place to spend than in building His house. 

If 75 people/families donate £200 each InshaAllah with your duas and help we can reach this target. 

May Allah the Most High accept your fasting, your recitation of the Qur’an, your charity and all the good that you do. We pray that He blesses you and your loved ones with health and prosperity and keeps you safe in His protection.
