CURRENT EVENTS.

Dr Irfan from the Sutton Coldfield community is embarking on an exhilarating journey through Andalusia in the last week of May 2025. He’ll be cycling through southern Spain over three incredible days—riding past the Sierra Nevada and visiting Córdoba, Akala, Granada, and Malaga.

But this adventure isn’t just about the ride—it’s about making a real difference. We’re raising funds for Aid for Mankind UK, a charity committed to delivering essential aid to the children of Gaza.

THE CHALLENGE

Cycle approximately 275 km over 3 days—all in support of the children of Gaza.

We're pleased to announce the return of our weekly Tajweed Halaqa, led by Dr. Rami, starting Monday 7th April, between Maghrib and Isha in the main prayer hall.

This session is open to all levels. We’ll begin with group Qur’an recitation, focusing on Tajweed, followed by a short Tafsir discussion. Everyone is welcome to join and improve their recitation skills.

IFTARI VOLUNTEERS

A big thank you to all the volunteers during the Iftari provision. There are too many brothers and sisters to name here, but the reason why the Iftari provision was successful was entirely due to everyone involved with many attending throughout the blessed month of Ramadhan.

POSITIVE FEEDBACK

Many people have kindly given us very positive feedback about the iftari provision and have expressed their thanks to the volunteers. May Allah reward everyone involved and reward them abundantly for their hard work for the benefit of our community.
