Masjid Improvement Roadmap Appeal

Masjid Repairs Roadmap


Introduction

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

All praise and thanks are due to Allah, the Lord of all Creation. Among the blessings He has bestowed upon us is the establishment of the Salafi Centre Masjid in 2003. Alhamdulillāh, over the years, the call to Salafiyyah has grown, and our Masjid has become a thriving and busy centre.

By the permission and aid of Allah, we are able to establish prayers, host weekly lessons and classes; Qur’an, Islamic Studies, Arabic, Weekend & Online schools for children; as well as a range of extra curricular clubs for the benefit of the community; and call to the way of the Salaf (free of extremism and neglect) by way of  da’wah and online platforms – all of which are blessings from Allah that we ask Him to accept.

To continue providing these services and maintain the Masjid as a welcoming and safe place, after the aid of Allah, we rely on the generosity of our community and brothers & sisters.

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Whoever builds a mosque for Allah, Allah will build for him a house in Paradise.” (Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim). This includes supporting its upkeep, which is an act of Sadaqah Jariyah (ongoing charity).

Recently, we identified key improvement projects to preserve and enhance the masjid. These are outlined in a clear and transparent roadmap, so you can view our ongoing & upcoming projects.

We will continue to update the roadmap regularly, in shā’ Allāh, with up-to-date information on projects, figures and progress, so you can see the impact of your generous support, in shā’ Allāh.

We welcome your support in maintaining and improving one of the Houses of Allah. We ask Allāh to accept it from us, and to place it on our scales Yawm-al-Qiyaamah.

Summer Renovation & Maintenance Updates!

As-Salāmu ʿAlaikum wa Rahmatullāhi wa Barakātuhu,

All praise is due to Allāh, Lord of all creation. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and all his Companions.

Alhamdulillāh, by the permission of Allāh, we have been able to complete important renovation works at the Masjid during the summer break. These upgrades will, in shā’ Allāh, bring benefit to the hundreds of children, families and musalleen who attend during the week.

See a list of completed renovations below:

1️⃣ Men’s Musallāh

The walls of the main prayer hall have been fully sanded and freshly painted, keeping the Musallāh clean, bright and welcoming for all.

2️⃣ Back Prayer Rooms Refurbished

Alhamdulillāh, the back prayer rooms have been fully refurbished with fresh paint on all walls, new light fixtures installed and a new carpet. These spaces are now ready to welcome back our students and attendees alike.

3️⃣ Sisters’ Selling Room

The sisters’ selling room has been fully renovated with new cupboards, worktops and a more functional layout. This space is an important source of income that helps the Masjid move towards becoming more self-sustaining in supporting da’wah, maintenance & community activities.

4️⃣ Men’s Corridor Ceiling Repairs

The ceiling in the men’s corridor has been repaired to preserve the building and ensure safety for all attendees.

5️⃣ Drainage Repairs

Major drainage works have been completed in the men’s toilets with a new guttering system installed. This resolves long-standing issues with blockages that previously caused recurring costs.

6️⃣ Lighting Upgrade

Brand-new lighting has been installed in all classrooms, creating a brighter and more welcoming atmosphere for Tuition Club, Qur’ān School and Saturday School students. These spaces are also used by sisters during busy prayer times such as Jumu’ah and Taraweeh.

7️⃣ Shoe Racks

New shoe racks have been built and painted to better accommodate the increasing numbers at Jumuʿah and other busy times.


Allāh, the Most High, said:

“The mosques of Allāh shall be maintained only by those who believe in Allāh and the Last Day, perform the prayer, give the zakāh, and fear none but Allāh. It is they who are upon true guidance.” (At-Tawbah 9:18)

We ask Allāh to reward all those who donated, volunteered and supported these efforts. May Allāh accept it and place it heavy on your scale of good deeds, Āmīn.

Please continue to give in charity so we can maintain and improve the Masjid for generations to come.

BārakAllāhu fīkum

South Manchester Lesson: The Precise Verdicts Regarding the Deviant Methodologies

Speaker: Ustaadh Abdul Hakeem Mitchell
Time: 7:30pm
Days: Sunday

by Shaykh Ahmad bin Yahya an-Najmī

I have read these questions and answers that specifically address the call of these foreign methodologies, which have mixed truth with falsehood, and Sunnah with innovation. These calls have deceived many of the youth and confused them about matters. They have engulfed them in turmoil and tribulation, and they were in no need of any of this.

Some of the youth noticed this deception and trickery and so they attempted to get clarity about what was taking place at the time through these questions, which were posed in different settings, as pointed out in the introduction of the person who has written this book.

Masjid Car Park Tarmac Update

Alhamdulillāh, recently we completed our Tarmac appeal in which we resurfaced the masjid car park to ensure accessibility, safety and ease of use for all attendees. This was a significant project, and we thank Allāh first and foremost, and then we are grateful to our community for your support.

Before, our car park presented a few challenges. Uneven surfaces and potholes made it difficult for drivers, which wasn’t suitable for those with mobility issues nor ideal for families with young children.

The smooth new surface means safer and easier access for all attending prayers, lessons or classes – especially more so during busy times such as Jumu’ah & Eid.

The Messenger of Allāh sallallaahu`alaihi wa sallam said in the famous hadith:

“Whoever build a Masjid, then Allaah will build for him it’s like in Jannah.” [Bukhari & Muslim]

We pray that Allāh accepts this effort from everyone who contributed and makes it heavy on your scale of good deeds.

Jazākumullāhu Khayran for your continued support. May Allāh bless you.

The New Selling Pod is Open!

Alhamdulillāh, we recently invested in building an external kitchen and selling pod to better serve visitors during events and busy periods. This has also given us extra storage and a small admin office too.

Alhamdulillāh, we are pleased to share an exciting update at the Salafi Centre. We recently invested in building a dedicated external kitchen and selling pod, a wonderful new facility designed to better serve all our visitors during events and busy periods.

We aim for this facility to help support the Masjid & its financial obligations. All proceeds are reinvested directly back into the masjid and da’wah, funding further projects and initiatives, in shā’ Allah.

This new facility also provides us with an extra administration office, Alhamdulillāh.

We pray that Allāh accepts this effort from everyone involved in bringing this project to life and that this new selling pod becomes a source of benefit and convenience for our community for years to come.

New Accessible Prayer Space at the Salafi Centre

Alhamdulillah we are pleased to announce the completion of this project which has resulted in a new accessible prayer space at the Salafi Centre. Recently, we installed a dedicated, accessible cabin to support busy prayers, lessons and activities. It has become a much loved space, especially for those with additional needs.

Before this cabin, space could sometimes be a challenge, particularly for sisters who require a quieter, more private or specially adapted area during peak times or for specific activities.

This beautiful, thoughtfully designed space offers an accessible space, designed for ease of access and comfort. View our progress pictures below to see how this space came to life!

Jazākumullāhu Khayran for your ongoing support. May Allāh accept this effort from everyone involved and those who contributed, as a Sadaqah Jāriyah (ongoing charity). Āmīn.

Alhamdulillāh: Our New Masjid Entrance is Open for Jumu’ah!

Alhamdulillāh, we are pleased to announce our new masjid entrance is open for Jumu’ah prayers! The new entrance project was undertaken to help reduce congestion and significantly improve access during Jumu’ah, Taraweeh, Conferences & other busy occasions.

Alhamdulillāh we have a growing community and the number of worshippers attending the masjid has increased. The previous single entrance could often become very crowded.

The new entrance provides an additional, larger point of entry and exit, allowing for a much better flow of traffic within the masjid building. We hope this practical improvement will bring ease and benefit to everyone attending the Masjid.

We ask Allāh to accept this effort from everyone involved and accept it as a Sadaqah Jāriyah (ongoing charity). Jazākumullāhu Khayran for your ongoing support.
