Masjid Summer 2025 Renovation Appeal
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
As-Salāmu ʿAlaikum wa Rahmatullāhi wa Barakātuhu,
All praise is due to Allah, Lord of all creation, and may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and all his Companions. We pray this message reaches you in the best of health and Eemān.
Allāh, the Most High says:
إِنَّمَا يَعْمُرُ مَسَـٰجِدَ ٱللَّهِ مَنْ ءَامَنَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْـَٔاخِرِ وَأَقَامَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَءَاتَى ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ وَلَمْ يَخْشَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهَ ۖ فَعَسَىٰٓ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ أَن يَكُونُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلْمُهْتَدِينَ ١٨
The Mosques of Allâh shall be maintained only by those who believe in Allâh and the Last Day, perform As-Salât (Iqâmat-as-Salât), and give Zakât and fear none but Allâh. It is they who are on true guidance. At-Tawbah (9:18)
As we enter the summer break, our schools and clubs have been paused for the holidays and alḥamdulillāh, this provides us with an ideal opportunity to carry out important renovations and improvements to the Masjid before the new term begins.
Over recent months, the Masjid has taken on several projects to enhance our facilities, increase capacity and maintain essential spaces, to better accommodate our growing community. These works have so far been funded through Jumuʿah sales, generous donations and savings from other projects.
This work continues with the permission of Allāh and through the support of the community. With operating costs rising, your contributions plays a vital role to ensure the Masjid remains a place of worship, learning and benefit. Please donate generously today.
Allāh, the Most High says:
مَّثَلُ ٱلَّذِينَ يُنفِقُونَ أَمْوَٰلَهُمْ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ كَمَثَلِ حَبَّةٍ أَنۢبَتَتْ سَبْعَ سَنَابِلَ فِى كُلِّ سُنۢبُلَةٍۢ مِّا۟ئَةُ حَبَّةٍۢ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ يُضَـٰعِفُ لِمَن يَشَآءُ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ وَٰسِعٌ عَلِيمٌ ٢٦١
The likeness of those who spend their wealth in the Way of Allâh, is as the likeness of a grain (of corn); it grows seven ears, and each ear has a hundred grains. Allâh gives manifold increase to whom He wills. And Allâh is All-Sufficient for His creatures’ needs, All-Knower. Al-Baqarah (2:261)
Below, you will find details of the planned works. We ask Allāh to grant us success in completing them and to reward everyone involved.
Planned Works:
Allah’s Messenger (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam) said:
“Whoever builds a masjid for the sake of Allah, Allah will build for him a house in Jannah.”
(Bukhārī)
1️⃣ Drainage Repairs – £1,500
Recurring blockages in both brothers’ and sisters’ wudhu areas have caused repeated issues, previously costing hundreds of pounds each year. This summer, we are carrying out full repairs to resolve the problem permanently, in shā’ Allāh.
2️⃣ Main Musallāh Repairs – £1,000
Work is well-underway to repaint and refresh the prayer hall, ensuring it remains clean, safe and welcoming—especially as we prepare to welcome back over 400 children enrolled across our various schools and clubs.
Our aim is to complete these vital upgrades before the new term begins, including vital upgrades to the walls and heating.
3️⃣ Expanded Facilities
- Upgraded shoe racks to accommodate more people especially at Jumuʿah and Tarāwīh.
- Renovated classrooms for our evening Qur’ān school and weekend programmes.
- Improved heating system in the men’s Musallah.
- Other essential repairs to keep the Masjid in the best condition possible.
Challenges & Financial Needs
⚙️ Operating Costs
With energy bills, costs and supplies continuing to rise, we anticipated an annual shortfall of around £70,000 this year. Alhamdulillāh, your generous donations help us bridge this gap and keep the Masjid open and running.
🧱 Ongoing Maintenance
Urgent work is still needed for:
- Fence repairs
- Sound system upgrades
- Classroom and prayer area maintenance
How You Can Help
This is an excellent opportunity to invest in Sadaqah Jāriyah.
Allah’s Messenger (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam) said:
“When a person dies, all of his deeds are cut off except for three: a continuous charity (sadaqah jāriyah), knowledge [he left behind] that is benefitted from or a righteous child who supplicates for him.” (Al-Adab al-Mufrad, no. 38, saheeh)
