NEW Salafi Bookstore in Manchester

Written by Salafi Centre on . Posted in Announcements, Appeal, Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Featured, Gallery.

Wonderful News!!

Asalamualaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuhu 

We hope and pray you are in the best of eemaan. The masjid has some great news to share, and we pray this assists in us pushing on and spreading the dawa more throughout Manchester. 

We are in the process of finalising a lease on a brand-new bookshop and dawah centre. It’s not been easy to find something but we have tried to find the best place possible to accommodate both enough books, free literature as well as allowing small sittings and potentially lessons in the future by taken adjacent buildings.

We will announce the location in due course due to the sensitive nature of negotiations. However as we are at the stage of agreeing terms we thought to bring this to your attention so that you may contribute to such a blessed dawah centric activity. 

Sahl bin Sa’d (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (ﷺ) said to ‘Ali (May Allah be pleased with him), “By Allah, if a single person is guided by Allah through you, it will be better for you than a whole lot of red camels.” Recorded in Al-Bukhari and Muslim (Riyad as-Salihin 1379).

In order to set up the bookshop we estimate that it will cost us approximately £42,000. This includes the legal fees, deposit on the building, the full refurbishment costs (electrical, plumbing, lighting, flooring, ceiling) furniture fixings, signage (external and internal) and then most important of all the books to stock and dawa material; as well as further stock to sell in order to raise funds to sustain the centre.

Please note our goal is only to make enough money so that it can carry out its main purpose, which is to call to Islam. Alongside the weekly city centre dawa stall we have, this will hopefully form a good central hub for people who are maybe new to Islam or want more information.

So we ask that you donate generously if you are able, to this noble cause of spreading Islam and teaching it to people – and rectifying the basics of the religion and assisting Muslims all over Manchester to return to the sunnah.

Masjid Appeal 2023

Written by The Salafi Centre of Manchester on . Posted in Announcements, Appeal, Featured.

Asalamualaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuhu

We pray you are well and in the best of eemaan. Alhamdulilah we have been blessed to live until this month where our rewards are multiplied and good deeds have been made easy.

We know that things are difficult right now for people, but we must appeal to you all for funds for the masjid. We recently completed an emergency appeal to raise £25,000. This was our shortfall this year gone by.

However what this doesn’t cover is the cost and the shortfall for the year to come – which will be an estimated £48,000. In general the minimum wage has risen and so have all the bills. And the masjid always runs a deficit; with repair and maintenance costs increasing.

The masjid raises a lot of its own funds with the various things we have set up. This includes paying lots of its costs through the minimal spare income left from the madrasah and clubs. We also have volunteers and helpers who consistently contribute food, dishes and items that we sell regularly on Fridays and events. So we will be striving to try come up with other methods to raise money throughout the year to plug that gap.

But as it is Ramadhaan now – we wanted to launch the appeal to make everyone aware of the reality – and to also take this situation as a positive opportunity to gain reward from Allah. As we know that in this month good deeds are multiplied – then whatever you can give now will sustain the masjid to come.

Your money goes towards:
1) Dawa and Lesson costs (such as venue hire, transport etc multiplied by 4 per week)
2) Quran school deficits with over 150 children learning Quran every week for three days
3) The tuition club with over 70 children and families benefitting from our support
4) the Saturday school with over 150 children learning their religion, quran and Arabic weekly.
5) The dawa stall done multiple times per month in central Manchester and at other venues

These are a few things and the list can go on. But we hope everyone understands the reasons behind this need that we have and assists and contributes toward the dawah and masjid; and facilitating the worship of Allah.

📢 Ramadhaan 2019 Announcement

Written by The Salafi Centre of Manchester on . Posted in Announcements, Appeal, Charity (Sadaqah), Fasting, Featured, Ramadhan, Worship - 'Ibaadah', Zakaat.

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.

📸 Gallery of Completed Fence Project

Written by on . Posted in Announcements, Appeal, Featured, Projects & Maintenance.

Asalamu’alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu

Below is the gallery of the erection and completion of the fence project. May Allah reward you all; your donations have gone a good way to securing the boundary of the Masjid and making it a safer place for all of your brothers and sisters here in Manchester

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.
