Being a Part of History

As-salaamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh,

We are excited to share a significant milestone in our journey to establish the first masjid in South Lakes. Alhamdulillah, all contracts for the required highway works have been signed, and we are on track for a February start. As the images in this email show, the land has been cleared to enable a detailed ground survey; which has provided us with a clear understanding of the foundations needed for this blessed project.

This progress means that things will now move quickly, and with it comes an urgent need for your support and pledges. Our project manager has successfully negotiated a phased cost plan for the build. While we have enough funds to last a few months, they will be swiftly depleted as the work intensifies.

We are aligning our fundraising efforts with the cash-flow required to sustain the first masjid construction, ensuring a smooth and uninterrupted completion. This is where we need your help.

How You Can Support

You may know people keen to help us cover the mandatory pre-commencement condition fees of £226,451.91, which includes costs for network rail, solicitors and council's highway works.

These conditions are forecasted to be discharged in January Insha Allaah. We are reaching out to generous donors who may help us in generating these funds so that we can begin without needing to utilise the ring-fenced funds for the first masjid construction.

All donations are valuable, please consider pledging and spreading the word.

The opportunity to establish the first masjid is an unparalleled act of Sadaqah Jaariyah (continuous charity). As the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:

“If a Muslim plants a tree or sows seeds, and a bird, person, or animal eats from it, it is regarded as charity for him.” Now imagine building a masjid, and people gaining their religious sustenance from it.

Be Part of History

Together, we can make this dream a reality. Join us in creating a legacy that will serve generations to come, insha Allah.

We are committed to keeping you updated regularly as this project unfolds. Your support is essential, and we are grateful for your generosity and efforts in spreading the word. Please forward this email to your family, friends, and any interested individual who is keen to contribute their skill, time or wealth.

JazaakAllaah Khairan,

Aban Hussain.
