We pray you are well and in the best of eemaan. Alhamdulilāh we have started this appeal at the beginning of the blessed month of Ramadhaan. Allāh allow us all to reach this blessed month and reap the rewards, wherein deeds are multiplied and made easy.
Over the last few months the masjid has carried out a lot of work to enhance the masjid, increase its capacity, accommodate even more worshippers, as well as repair and maintain what we have. The masjid has been self sufficient over the last few months to help raise a lot of its own funds through various means, such as after Jummah sales, public and attendee donations, and using spare income from saving on other projects.
However we always have a shortfall due the masjid being a not for profit entity and a lot of emphasis put on da’wah and teaching the people Islam, as well as accomodating and assisting the poor.
So we ask that you donate toward this noble cause. Your money will not be wasted and will go towards many projects all happening at once in the masjid:
Da’wah in Central Manchester
Free Islamic Lesson in Moss Side Manchester.
The Quran school costs, helping to keep it affordable and accessible to over 150 children.
The Home Schooling Tuition Club – with over 70 children and families benefitting from your support, to educate their children.
An Islamic Saturday school with over 150 children learning their Religion, The Quran and Arabic every week.
Masjid Maintenance and repairs which are urgently required – such as broken fences, improving the sound system, and prayer room and classroom repairs.
We have already completed many excellent projects also.
Car Park expansion – to increase the number of cars that can park inside our grounds, as well as making the walkways safe for children and parents.
During Eid the above also lets us install more Marquees and have more space to accommodate more worshippers.
Purchased and Installed a brand new Prayer Cabin for our sisters. This will also be used for Qur’an and Islamic classes for 20-30 children.
Update and upgrade the men’s entrance. This has increased the prayer space available on the mens side – and made it easier and safer to get in and out of the building. It also lets us have a separate section for wudhu and stops the disruption on the front rows.
We estimate that the final cost of all the above will come close to £60,000.
Finally in summer we hope to complete the men’s musallah work – which includes updating walls and improving heating. after which we will be able to install a brand new carpet throughout the masjid for all sides.
Please take this opportunity therefore, in the blessed month of Ramadhaan and outside of it – to do good deeds; strive in charity; and gain reward from Allah.
“Whoever builds a masjid for the sake of Allah, Allah will build for him a house in jannah” (Bukhari)
So let us work together and continue making the masjid the best it can be! May Allah bless and reward you all with much goodness.

Imam Sadi’s Explanation of Jawaami’u Al-Akhbaar, with additional benefits from Shaykh Ubayd
Lesson by Ustādh Abu Abdir-Rahmān Hilāl
Whoever contemplates this book, Bahjat Qulub al-Abrar waqurrat ‘Uyoon al-Akhyar, fi sharh Jawami’ al-Akhbar or Explanation of 99 hadeeth by al-‘Allamah Abdir-Rahman As-Sa’di, in its briefness and clarity will notice that it contains all the beneficial sciences: the science of Tawheed (Monotheism), the principles of Faith, the science of adopting and observing the Path towards Allah, as well as the religious, the worldly, and the medical ethics. It also contains the science of jurisprudence and Islamic rulings in all branches of Fiqh: Acts of Worship, Transactions, Marriage Acts, and others, explaining their rulings and origins, the sciences of various methods of reform, the useful topics, directions to bring private and general benefits, religious and worldly, and to repel whatever harm there is.
They are all taken and learned from the words of the Prophet, may Allah’s Prayers and Peace be upon him, in the form of an explanation of the most comprehensive selected Hadiths, as you will discover, and it is all due to the Grace and Mercy of Allah Alone.

Day: Last Saturday of Every Month

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.
