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 entirely on the generosity of our 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.

List of Proposed Works & Key Projects

£3,470 of £16,550 (21.0%)

Rain Shelters for Entrances

Completed
£2,000 / £2,000

Alhamdulillāh, we have begun work on the new rain shelters at the Masjid. This improvement at the current schools (& mens' prayers) entrance will, in shā Allāh make it easier and safer for parents picking up their children. It will also ensure comfort and protection for those attending the Masjid, especially as Winter approaches.

We will be adding lighting underneath and electrics for speakers etc shortly.

Shutter for Women’s Selling Area

Completed
£500 / £500

Alhamdulillah the final phase of the new womens' selling area which brings much-needed income during jumuah, eid, conferences & events is complete. May Allah bless all who donated and contributed to the project in all the different ways, Aameen.

New Storage Container for the Masjid

In Progress
£970 / £2,800

Alhamdulillah, our Masjid continues to grow, serving the community through Eid events, Da'wah, youth activities, sports & education.
We urgently need a storage container to safely cater for these events, to store our:
• Eid Equipment (Marquees, Carpets, Speakers, etc.)
• Conference & Da'wah Items (Lighting, Gazebos, Books & Leaflets)
• Youth & Sports Gear (Archery, Football, Martial Arts & Summer Activities)
• Maintenance tools & spare stock for our shop.

💰 Total Cost: £2,800
(including container, delivery, fitting & base)

External Wall & Rendering Repairs

Upcoming
£0 / £3,500

The next critical phase of our improvement work is the repair of the external walls and rendering. This essential maintenance is crucial for protecting the Masjid\'s structure from water damage and dampness. This will, in shā Allāh, safeguard the building helping to preserve the House of Allah for the community for many years to come.

Urgent Roof Leakage Fixes

Upcoming
£0 / £750

We have identified and need to address the urgent issue of several leaks in the Masjid roof. Fixing these leaks is a high priority to prevent water from damaging the prayer areas, classrooms and electrical systems.

Secure Back Door Replacement

Upcoming
£0 / £1,800

To improve the security and safety of the Masjid, we will replace the old back door as it has been damaged. This will ensure the building is secure outside of prayer times.

Enhanced CCTV & Child Safety

Upcoming
£0 / £1,200

The safety of the hundreds of children attending our schools and clubs is something we wish to enhance, by upgrading existing CCTV systems to add 8 new cameras and upgrade our NVR recording equipment to accomodate. This will, in shā Allāh, provide comprehensive monitoring of the premises and create a safer environment for everyone who benefits from the Masjid.

Pedestrian Gate Security Lock

Upcoming
£0 / £1,200

To better manage access to the Masjid grounds, we are planning to install a new secure lock and controlled access point on the main pedestrian gate. This important improvement will, in shā Allāh, prevent unauthorised entry and ensure the site is secure.

Car Park Gate & Security Rails

Upcoming
£0 / £2,800

The next phase of our security and safety upgrades will secure the car park entrance with a new access point and safety rails. Alhamdulillāh, last year we undertook the tarmaccing of the Masjid car park, and now we will improve on this further. The new gate will control vehicle access, while the safety rails will create clear, safe walkways for pedestrians, making it safer for families and children.

Relocating heaters

Upcoming
£0 / TBC

To improve the safety and use of our prayer space, we plan to relocate the existing wall heaters. This work will, in shā Allāh, ensure heat is distributed more effectively and will free up valuable wall space, allowing for a better and safer layout in the musallā.

Wall tiling (partial)

Upcoming
£0 / TBC

As part of the internal improvements, we will be tiling high-contact wall areas. This is essential for improving hygiene and durability. It will, in shā Allāh, make these areas much easier to clean and maintain, ensuring the House of Allah remains pristine.

More details to follow, in shā' Allāh.
