Assalamualaikum, brothers & sisters,
The month of Ramadan is approaching. It’s a time of blessing and
generosity. We thank Allah SWT, for allowing us to see another holy month of
Ramadan.
Alhamdullillah, with the blessing of Allah SWT, we have paid off the outstanding
balance of our car park. The next plan is to renovate the car park during
Ramadan. This will have a huge impact on our congregators. Allowing safety of every
musails’ cars and keeping the surrounding area of our mosque secure
and clean.
We are pledging to our 500 brothers and sisters, to donate £100 each to make
this mission happen. This will allow us to tarmac the entire car park. With
Allah’s blessing and with your generosity, this can be permittable.
May Allah SWT accept all our gracious deeds and reward us to the highest
here and hereafter.
Your kind donation of £100 each, will be generously accepted.
Jazakallah khairan

Ramadan Zakat-ul-Fitr, which is regularly referred to as
Fitrana, is one of the obligatory acts that Muslims
must undertake during the Holy month of
Ramadan. Zakat is one of the Five Pillars of Islam
and involves giving a portion of one’s savings to

charity. Fitrana is similar to Zakat in this way but
must be given before Eid prayers begin at the end
of Ramadan, hence the name, Zakat-ul-Fitr. This
year Zakat-ul Fitr will be £6 per person.
