Appeal 2017 – Help Fund the Masjid & New Fence Project
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
Asalamu’alaykum wa rahamtullahi wa barakaatuhu
An update on our masjid fence project.
Alhamdulilah Allah blessed us with the chance to collect the funds required over Ramadhaan, and Jazaakumallahukhair to all those who donated.
We had sought out the most competitive prices we could at the time and were ready to go ahead with the work. However we were then made aware of a local council scheme which would augment and add better value to the initial fence we had proposed such as: better quality of fence, better gate security and various security measures.
We decided to apply for these extra security measures, realising we could gain more value for the money we had initially raised.
Alhamdulilāh our application was accepted at the initial stage and we recieved a security inspection. Our final proposals were then submitted; and we are now in the final stages of receiving approval. If this is granted then the fence will include the extra features that we had not initially raised funds, but which enhance the quality and value of the fence and security around the masjid.
As soon as the approval comes through then we will inform the appropriate contractors and work will begin.
May Allah reward all those who donated and contributed to the effort. We thank you for your patience in this affair

These deeds will join him after his death.” (Saheeh Sunan Ibn Majah Hadeeth 242).

Help Cover the Annual Masjid Shortfall & Take part in the new masjid Fence and security Project!
We pray this message finds you well and in the highest of eemaan.
Alhamdulilah the masjid has worked as hard as it can to become self-reliant. However with the huge and unprecedented growth in the community, then even more resources are needed to cover the equirements of a wide range and variety of attendees.
🎯 Total Target – £45,000
- £5,000: Dawah stall: Huge and renewed interest from the public with approximately £2000 worth of materials given out int he last 4 weeks alone!
- £5,000: South Manchester Dawah classes, lessons, literature, stalls and events- 100+ weekly attendees! Costs consist of the weekly premises rental as well as rental of large conference halls to spread the dawah.
- £10,000: The entire Salafi Masjid yearly shortfall. Although we afford most of our costs ourselves then we have further shortfalls including the bills (such as Gas, Water, Electric, Council Tax, bins and more see below).
ANNOUNCING new Masjid Fence Project!
Help build the fence around the masjid, allowing for a better environment, more security for attendees, better and safer grounds and for children to be and play in, especially in the current climate.
Total projected cost – £25,000
We have the chance to build a fence around the masjid, to improve the security of the masjid grounds. This will also help us add in a small play area for the children and increased parking for what is a more busy masjid now then ever before – walillahilhamd!

Further Information
By Allah’s grace, we have invested a lot of funds in various areas of the masjid recently. This includes the prayer areas, entrances, roof, car park, spare rooms, heating systems, air conditioning systems, wudhu areas, and more. Qadr’ullah as a result we have fallen back in paying our rent with a lump sum now due to our landlord. Alhamdulilah may Allah bless the brother he has been very understanding and patient but we must pay him his due right, and we are short on funds to do so.
This opens up an excellent chance for everyone in our community to contribute to the upkeep of the masjid, and is a great way to show gratitude to Allah the most gracious and the most high for everything he has given us. Alhamdulilah the masjid looks after many people and provides much service to our community. Whether that’s the 250+ attendees of the various madrasahs; or the staff in the all areas; or the sisters who benefit from the Quran and Arabic classes, toddler classes and more; or the 3-400+ attendees for Jumua and 100+ attendees of classes.
So we ask everyone who benefits, and uses the masjid in anyway; whether on site or even online- for Allah’s sake, to help maintain it by paying off its bills, which essentially are the result of its thorough use by all of us. The reward is truly immense and potentially unmeasurable with Allah.
As Shaykh Ubayd (hafidhahullah) advised us to ask the people for funds, and that it was good because he said “your masjid is founded/run on the goodness (charity) of the good doers.” So we implore you as the Messenger (sallallahualayhiwasallam) implored the Sahabah and the women to give in charity for Allahs sake. And this is not for any one individual, but for the masjid, and the dawa it gives which is clear for all in the community to see; and those online as well.
Alhamduilah recently we paid back the loan we had taken to pay the rent shortfall off. However this will only cover us up to what we had. Expanded efforts have meant an increase in regular outgoings. With our increasingly popular dawah stall that is regular on site on Market Street (City Centre Manchester)– teaching and giving information out to non Muslims and clarifying recent events; as well as the huge number of families and children who need support- both with issues and in terms of their Islamic tarbiyyah during the weekdays and Saturdays- all of these and (various other factors) mean will continuously be running low on funds. We can prevent this shortfall in the long term, if we all work together and setup regular standing orders. Our projected shortfall a month is £800.
Alhamdulillah this is not much of a gap for us to bridge, if we all contribute. All it requires is for 40 people to setup a standing order for £20 per month. You can kick start this effort right now, by setting up a regular monthly donation from your bank account. This is easy, and means that you can donate a small amount regularly, and over time this will accumulate into what we hope from Allah will be a huge reward.

Where does your Money go?
Your money goes to so many areas at the masjid, that it’s value will never be lost insha’Allah. The following is a list of areas donations are split over:
- The Masjid Building: The masjid is now fully using every aspect of its premises whereby we are often squeezed for space. This huge increased footflow and attendance requires maintenance, including cleaning and repair work. We also have to increase the number of bin collections (which are no longer free), as well as having external mainttenance work done. We sometimes have no space on jumua, and open up upstairs as an overflow. Further more the masjid provides the physical space needed to hold lessons in Islamic Topics. Currently we have a study on Sahih al Bukhari and had a themed lesson on Marriage and Divorce.
- Online presence: This includes the websites whcih have grown immensly in traffic and use, with 1000’s of users benefiting every day. We now have the following sites:
- Darulhadith.org.uk – offical site for the Charity

- SalafiSchool.co: Website for the Saturday School and for The Qur’an School, with soon to be released Children’s Islamic Studies – free for all to download and learn from.

- Saturday school: A madrasah teaching children how to read and recite the Qur’aan; the Correct Islam free of Shirk, bid’ah and extremism, The Arabic language so that they can understand both the Qur’an and Hadeeth, and the speech of the scholars.

We ask that Allah grants us tawfique to earn his reward, and the baseerah (foresight) to see and understand the value of contributing to a masjid. The Messenger of Allah (sallalahualayhiwasallam) said: “whoever builds a masjid for Allah’s sake; Allah builds for him a House in Jannah.”
If you are unable to donate, then you can still help! Spread this message to everyone you know. Explain to them the benefits of Charity and giving to a masjid for Allah’s sake. As the Messenger of Allah (SallAllahualayhiwasallam) said “Allah has said “O’ Son of Aadam, Spend (On Charity and Righteous Causes) and I will spend on you.”” You can even spread the following donation picture:
May Allah protect you, reward you all and increase your reward; replacing what you give with more and more.
