Asalamualaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuhu
We hope and pray you are well and in the best of eemaan.
The masjid is in need of work to help repair some items. Much of this work is urgent and needs doing before the term starts and we have children back in.
1) Boiler and Heater replacement:
As the masjid is split into sections we have multiple boilers. Alhamdulilah we have changed 2 into industrial ones (see previous appeals) however we have still been using and maintaining the domestic one in the upstairs section. It has now started to leak, and fail; and we’ve been told the repair is not of any value, and that we should replace it.
2) Outside Women’s Side cabin insulation work, repairs and roof leaks. These cabins are used for Quran regularly and consistently, but it is difficult to keep them warm in winter and aired well in summer. The roof is also leaking and we’ve attempted to patch it but unsuccessfully. The work required therefore is:
– re-insulating all walls
– re-boarding all walls with thicker boards and plastic sheeting for hygiene and longevity
– additional underfloor heating
– complete roof replacement
– additional roof waterproofing
– ceiling lining and lights
3) masjid entrance flooring. Currently we have tiles and use carpet flooring which is both a hazard and also creates a foul smell when mixed with rain water. This will be replaced with an industrial plastic linoleum flooring on both men’s and women’s side with the floor requiring levelling.
4) Additional automatic door entry mechanisms on women’s doors, flat doors, office doors, kitchen doors; due to expanded use.
The total for all work is £15,000. Alhamdulilah the masjid has already saved £1500 of that leaving £13,500.

The Month of Ramadhaan will commence today from Maghrib and the first fast will be tomorrow insh’Allāh. We begin the Tarāweeh prayer tonight after the Ishaa’ prayer at 10:30pm. On Friday this will change to 10:45pm.
Car Parking & Neighbours
As a general reminder for those attending the masjid please park your cars 🚗 properly and safely within the car park and on the surrounding streets- taking care not to block driveways. Also as we are praying late it’s important that we are quiet when coming and leaving so as not to disturb our neighbours 🏡.
Security
There will be security during the night prayer outside – Allah reward the brothers. However please still be vigilant as it is late.
Sisters Side Information
The sisters side of the masjid will be open 🚪 for the Salah. And for the benefit of the all sisters praying, we will have the air conditioning unit on throughout the prayer. ✅ We advise sisters that if they cannot manage standing close to the AC (due to the cold) please move to another area of the musallah.
There will be refreshments and snacks for sale at the end of taraweeh, outside the masjid. All proceeds will go toward our masjid wudhu area and play area appeals. For more details or to donate, then go to SalafiCentre.com/playground and Salaficentre.com/donate.
Important Message About Zakat.
Alhamdulillah we have some good connections at the masjid with trustworthy brothers and sisters in various countries, where there are poor muslims in need. Places include Egypt, Nigeria, Uganda, Pakistan and more; and the brothers and sisters there, assist with this for Allah’s sake.
Each year we appoint those whom we know and trust to distribute some of this, and from it included Zakat al Fitr.. often times this is left a few until the last moment. However to get this arranged for so many people it is important that it is not delayed in paying it, if you need help in distributing it, and are not doing so yourself.
Please refer to the poster for more information on all the types of Zakat / payments we collect and distribute, including fidyah (meal payments for those allowed to pay in replacement for fasts). For the full information on this please check the following link: salaficentre.com/zakaah
May Allah allow us to reach this Blessed Month, forgive us all of our sins and grant us jannah.
Asalamualaikum wa rahamtullahi wa barakaatuhu. We pray you are all well and in the best of eemaan. By the permission of Allah we have managed to accomplish a lot at the masjid over the summer. However the work done has taken its toll on finances; as we raised less than was needed (by etimation) in the end for the work outside; as well as had to pay for secondary unforeseen things such as clean up labour time and secondary items not priced into work.
The masjid currently runs a lot of activities for everyone; and employs a lot of people – brothers and sisters. We also do not charge very much so we are always often at just break even in terms of our finance; whereby the wages for the staff (Quran School, Saturday School and more) are just about covered; and sometimes not met.
As a result we rely on the good nature of the people to assist the masjid in the rest of its efforts. Usually this balances out; however currently the masjid is making a loss whereby we have had to borrow small funds from brothers to keep the masjid running and to complete the work.
Therefore we are appealing to everyone if they can help us plug this shortfall in two ways. The first one is the urgent need of £6000 which we need for our rent and to pay back what we’ve borrowed.
However long term, to avoid such issues, what would really help is a regular donation if possible, by everyone who can give something for the sake of Allah. If you can set up a standing order from your online or telephone bank of just five pounds a month this would help us massively. Our dawa here has always been a collective effort and we pray that this is an excellent opportunity to gain yet more reward and salvation from Allah azza wajal. £5 a month isn’t too much, working out to less than £1.25 a week. And this would fall in line with the hadeeth of the Prophet Salalaahu Alayhi wa Salam which was narrated by Abu Hurrairah that he Salalaahu Alayhi wa Salam said “Take on only as much as you can of good deeds, for the best of deeds is that which is done consistently, even if it is little”
So please take a few minutes of your time to do this and then forget it and let the deeds pile up biidhnillah.
And the reward is with Allah
If you wish to make a one off donation please reference it as appeal2018. Thi will go toward the £6000 debt we have. Or if you can set up a regular standing order then please do so using the following information.

The Amazing Reward of Giving Sadaqah and Being Charitable: A Noble Trait of the Prophet
By the grace and mercy of Allah we have hundreds of people attending the masjid weekly. That includes women and children. Due to the high volume of traffic our wudhu areas are always under enormous pressure to deliver… yet they are woefully inadequate. Our plan was to extend and expand them, providing the needed facilities – including more basins, more taps, more toilet facilities; and due to the use by the Baby and Toddler Groups, and Mothers and Staff, a baby changing facility.
The Messenger of Allah (May Allah’s peace be upon him) said: Whoever builds a for Allah’s (sake) a masjid, Allah builds for him a house in Paradise. [Bukhârî]
Help us build and transform our wudhu area for our sisters and children. Imagine the reward that would be earnt, for all those who make wudhu using the facilities!
Work Involved
– removing separating walls
– adding steel beams
– adding a new doorframe and door
-3 new cubicles
– 3 new toilets
– two new large wudhu capable lowered sinks
– taps
– baby changing facilities
Brand new tiling
Target £12000
We have just launched a “Buy a Wudhu Section Scheme”. Check out the poster below and contribute a piece of the wudhu area… to help us reach our total!
Full details at SalafiCentre.com/WudhuAppeal
The current wudhu area has an old unused batch
We would look to expand the window
Ther eis only a single toilet but we have a lot of children and sisters attending regularly
One of the toilets is out of service

Many parts of this project have been completed. We will post images on this page.
UPDATE: 31-06-2018: Funds Raised!
Alhamdulilah we have raised all the funds needed and work will commence in the Summer Holiday.
UPDATE: 31-05-2018
Alhamdulilah we have just passed the half way point in this blessed month. Firstly we wanted to thank everyone for all that they have given in Charity; to help develop the masjid – both here in Manchester as well as throughout the UK (Masjid as Sunnah Aston, Masjid Furqan Stoke, Masjid Al Huda Bolton, etc) and beyond! We make dua that our sins are forgiven and deeds multiplied. It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Allaah said: ‘Spend, O son of Adam, and I shall spend on you.’” (1)
However there’s still more to do. And we can really make a big difference for so many people within the community by donating even small amounts. The Messenger of Allah (Salalhualayhiwasallam) said: “A Muslim is a brother of (another) Muslim, he neither wrongs him nor does hand him over to one who does him wrong. If anyone fulfils his brother’s needs, Allah will fulfil his needs; if one relieves a Muslim of his troubles, Allah will relieve his troubles on the Day of Resurrection…” [Bukhari and Muslim].
Here in Manchester by the grace of Allah, we have established facilities for the children in our community. We have facilities on site for Quran- including a dedicated hifdh class- Arabic learning and Islamic Studies. The children learn every aspect we can possibly teach them: Belief, Tawheed, Salah, Wudhu, Manhaj, Fasting, Ibaadah, Dua and Adhkaar and more. In addition to this we have a Tuition Club which takes a huge burden off home schooling parents; by providing a good basis in all subjects: Maths, English, Science, Programming, Art, Geography and more!
As any parent will relate to; caring for the children and ensuring their tarbiyyah is correct is something difficult and in some instances worrying. Our children come form many backgrounds – and we try our best to provide them with a safe place to learn and grow. Abdullah ibn Umar reported: The Messenger of Allah, Salalhualayhiwasallam, said, “Every one of you is a shepherd and is responsible for his flock. The leader of people is a guardian and is responsible for his subjects. A man is the guardian of his family and he is responsible for them. A woman is the guardian of her husband’s home and his children and she is responsible for them. The servant of a man is a guardian of the property of his master and he is responsible for it. No doubt, every one of you is a shepherd and is responsible for his flock.”
Our aim is as always, to provide an even better facility… and to give all of our children the chance to learn and experience new things and in turn appreciate the wonderful creation of Allah, and grow up as rounded individuals.
With this in mind we wanted to build our areas where the children can learn, have classes, exercise and play. The masjid has a fence around it now, so we can develop our garden and grass area more safely.
Side of the masjid that will be used fo rthe outdoor classroom, Eco Garden and Plantery
The portfolio explains the full concept in detail- but in brief we would have 3 areas, which would be excavated and soft play area flooring installed. Then we would have a young learners educational development area, a large playground with exercise and sports facility and finally a science and discovery facility- including an area to grow plants, herbs and small trees. This would only serve to increase our facilities and provide and amazing environment for the children that attend.
However doing all so requires a lot of financial outlay; which we cannot afford. We had a target of £18,000 and at the time of writing we only require £3800 more to reach it, alhamdulilah.
So we’ve launched this graphic to help encourage us all to give even small amounts to this beneficial project.
Our children are our inheritors and have rights on us. Providing good facilities will alleviate some of this difficulty on many parents within the community. In total we have 170 children that attend Saturday School, 160 that attend Quran Classes and 70 that attend and use the Tuition Club. Your money will be bring an ongoing benefit, and the reward will be ongoing inshaAllah. As the Prophet (Salalhualayhiwasallam) said: “When a person dies, all his deeds come to an end except three: sadaqah jaariyah (ongoing charity, e.g. a waqf or endowment), beneficial knowledge (which he has left behind), or a righteous child who will pray for him.” (3)
So not only will these facilities be used by children now and afterwards; but those whose children attend will appreciate their parents and we pray with good tarbiyyah they will duplicate for them.
So please do not delay and give today, to establish these and other educational facilities for children. The fruits are great and reach into the future… don’t miss out on that reward:
As Allah says: “Who is he that will lend to Allah a goodly loan so that He may multiply it to him many times? And it is Allah that decreases or increases (your provisions), and unto Him you shall return.” (Baqarah 245)
It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “There is no day on which the people get up but two angels come down and one of them says, ‘O Allaah, give in compensation to the one who spends (in charity),’ and the other says, ‘O Allaah, destroy the one who withholds.’” (4)

ANNOUNCING New Masjid Playground Project!
We pray this message finds you well and in the highest of eemaan.
This Summer we are raising funds for a young learners playground and an eco-friendly garden. This project will benefit our students at both The Tuition Club and Salafi School, as well as masjid attendees.
Why Donate to Our Appeal?
Outdoor play includes social, physical, mental and self-confidence benefits.
Playing outside also helps children to develop their learning abilities.
A fun way of helping them learn new information and develop their skills.
It will encourage children to think of learning as an ongoing process, instead of just something done in the classroom.
Having the eco-friendly garden space will give us the opportunity to grow our own fruit, vegetables and flowers.
Children will have a sense of responsibility and it will instil within them the need to look after the environment and what they grow.
Encourages a healthy lifestyle.
Enhances Fine Motor Development and introduces them to Scientific Concepts.
See our brochure below for further details and pictures of our exciting project!
🎯 Total Target – £18,000

The fence is now complete with entrance gates and a gated sections for educational purposes. We will be installing further facilities shortly for the children who attend the Masjid for our various madrasahs and clubs (see salafischool.co and tuitionclub.org). These will include spaces for planting flowers, vegetables and fruit; as well as an outdoor classroom area and space to learn about the beautiful world and creation of Allah.

Dawah Sound System Appeal.
Asalamualaikum wa rahamtullahi wa barakaatuhu
We pray you are all well and in the best of reman. By the grace and mercy of Allah, The Most High, we have managed to establish classes in South Manchester and a weekly dawa stall now in central Manchester see twitter @learnaboutislam & @ccdawahmcr. We also hold our Eid Prayers and the Congregation here bigger every year.
As a result of the use, and expansion- our old Sound System isn’t able to service this need any longer; with sound cutting out, or not reaching; generator noise and hire costs, and it sometimes not working properly at all.
Therefore we contacted a Sound Specialist company and have been quoted a system that will accommodate all our needs and more. The system will be a high capacity battery powered portable speaker system.
However it is expensive- with the total price coming to £2300. Your assistance therefor is needed to raise this amount; and your money will be out toward something integral and vital in the process of giving dawa and teaching the Muslims and non Muslims. So let’s all get together and raise this amount- to carry on the call to Allah!

Please give cash to Abu Aisha Amjad Khan, Abul Farooq Kamaal, Abu Khalid Dawud, Aasim Zulfiqaar or Mohammed Hasan

The boiler has broken down in the Masjid and is beyond repair – Qadr’Allah wa Mashaa Fa’al.
We are in urgent need of a new industrial quality boiler to heat the building and the hot water for wudhu. The engineer has kindly agreed to fit it next week (Friday) as a priority, after seeing our situation. However we are short on the funds needed.
The total cost to fit the boiler, adjust the pipework for hot water to the sisters side, and maintenance to the radiators (repairing some leaks) comes to £3190. If you can assist with this then please donate via cash, paypal or bank as soon as possible.
