AssalamuAlaikum Wa Rahmatullah,

We would just like to thank all those who are continuously supporting us by way of donations.  May Allah reward you with much good. Ameen. The Masjid work is progressing at a very fast pace and All praise be to Allah.

We are always looking at opportunities to generate money for the Masjid and its associated Da'wah projects. We announced only a few days ago of our new health store coming soon. Today we are pleased to announce another one of our projects currently in development: www.SunnahDirect.com The website is in its BETA stage at the moment and will be going through ongoing changes within the next few months Inshaa'Allah. We also hope to provide a detailed plan of the next phase of the project titled 'Purchasing the building next door' within the next few weeks Inshaa'Allah.

Jazakumullahu Khair.

THE STEEL BEAM AND PILLARS ARE BEING FITTED IN.

Latest pictures: The work to erect the steel pillars began yesterday.

 

AssalamuAlaikum Wa Rahmatullah,

One of the most important and long awaited parts of the Masjid expansion started yesterday. The steel pillars will allow the men's prayer hall to double in size. It was a historical moment for the project management team to see the first pillar erected yesterday evening. Alhamdulillah we are still receiving donations and this clearly shows the enthusiasm and support of the people. May Allah reward and accept it from those who donated yesterday. Ameen.

We make reference to a document we sent a few weeks ago: (please click link) http://cdn.albaseerah.com/masjid/May_2013.pdf . Albaseerah Bradford has a vision of having an established Masjid, School and Bookshop which serves as complex for da'wah and learning. We also want to ensure that all these 3 entities are totally owned by the charity organisation to cut rent bills and allow one entity to financially support the other (social enterprise). The bookshop is that last remaining entity which still sits on a rental agreement. We must strive to change this as it is an integral part of the overall vision. We hope to begin a campaign in relation to the Bookshop soon Inshaa'Allah. Please see below the latest pictures from yesterday. Hayakumullah.

IT'S OVER. MORE THAN £35,000 RAISED IN 12 DAYS AND ALL PRAISE BELONGS TO ALLAAH.

Latest pictures: Collected the steel at about 11:30am this morning. The fabricators are coming in at 2pm. All the steel is now on site alhamdulillah. 

 

AssalamuAlaikum Wa Rahmatullah,

It pleases us to inform you that after a 12 day campaign, we have raised all of the £35,000 required for the Masjid expansion. £3214 came in yesterday alone. May Allaah azzawajal reward those who donated yesterday with a mighty reward, accept their deeds and grant them success and happiness in this duniya and the akhirah, ameen. We ask everyone to supplicate for all those who aided in this campaign, giving in the way of Allaah. May Allah accept it from all of our brothers and sisters.

Time and time again the global community has shown that together we can make that difference. What was a mountain figure for the Bradford community alone became easy as the global community as a whole came together. We want to extend by mentioning how so many of the donations came from people living far far away. People who may not directly use the Masjid and its facilities, yet they gave their wealth for His sake. This is an example for us and something we learn from. 

We end by encouraging our brothers and sisters to aid the people of the Sunnah no matter where they may be. In the UK we have our brothers and sisters in Birmingham, Manchester, Cardiff, Slough, Leeds, Stoke, London and several other cities. Each striving to establish Masaajid and  Maraakiz to spread Allah's religion. We remind ourselves then you to help them just as you have helped Masjid As-Sunnah, Bradford. Their strength is our strength and their weakness is our weakness. May Allah make our actions sincere, may Allah keep us firm upon this religion, may Allah keep us upon the Sunnah, may Allah increase us in knowledge and action upon that knowledge, may Allah grant us unity and keep us away from splitting and differing, may Allah grant us a good end upon emaan, upon Tawheed. Ameen.

Our blog site will be updated constantly with the latest pictures and all developments in relation to the Masjid expansion. Thank you and Jazakumullahu Khair once again to each and every single one of you. May Allah raise you. Ameen.

DOWN TO THE LAST 3 BRICKS...£2486 COME IN SINCE MONDAY!

Latest pictures: The wudhu facility is coming along. The steel beams have been delayed to tomorrow. Once erected, the main men's prayer hall will double in size. We ask Allah to facilitate it. 

AssalamuAlaikum Wa Rahmatullah,

First and foremost we apologies for a lack of updates yesterday. We traveled to the south for a tour of an Islamic School recently setup. We are hoping to start our own nursery/primary school project after Ramadhaan so grasped this opportunity to gain insight from those who have recently preceded us. We ask Allah to bless their project, it was an inspiration for us.   

Regarding updates then Alhamdulillah £2486 worth of donations came in yesterday. May Allah reward, accept and make  heavy these deeds from our brothers and sisters who donated. Ameen. This means that we only have £2848 to go. A spectacular  £32,152 has been raised in the last 12 days. We started our campaign on the 31st May locally encouraging our immediate community of brothers to give, raising almost £13,000 amongst ourselves, Alhamdulillah an online campaign was then launched with a campaign as amazing as 2010. Jazakumullahu Khair.

We want to make a point of this in that the generosity witnessed from everyone gives further encouragement to drive this project in Bradford. We want to make this whole project comprising of Masjid, School and Bookshop as a beacon and example for communities around the world. Albaseerah began in 2000 and by Allah's grace has developed considerably in the last 13 years. We firstly thank Allah for these blessings for we are nothing without His aid. Then we thank all our brothers and sisters, all around the world who have put their confidence in us, believed in this project and its potential, put faith in it through action. It truly humbles us and we ask Allah that we go from strength to strength actualising this vision. May Allah reward all of you. We can never thank you enough.

To end then there are 3 bricks remaining - £2848. We encourage everyone to donate for Allah's sake. Your reward is with Allah.

IMPORTANT:
A reminder that interest money can be given towards the toilet facilities. Please do not transfer any interest money without informing us on 01274 501736 or emailing us at info@albaseerah.com. This is so that we can isolate all interest based transactions and use them for this specific purpose.

Jazakumullahu Khair.

£7427 COME IN WITHIN THE LAST 24 HOURS + THE WINDOWS HAVE FINALLY ARRIVED. 

Latest pictures: The long awaited windows finally arrived less than an hour ago. SCROLL TO END OF EMAIL TO SEE A COMPREHENSIVE GALLERY OF PICTURES FROM TODAY.

AssalamuAlaikum Wa Rahmatullah,

Within the last 24 hours we collected the £4000 that was donated by a single brother. In addition we received several online donations. We ask Allah subhanu wa ta'ala, Al-Razaak to replenish the equivalent value of these donations and increase them further in beneficial wealth. We ask Allah to make the small donation to the large donation as heavy as mountains on their scales on the day of resurrection. We ask Allah to cure their sick and leave no ailment as verily our sick are treated with sadaqah, ameen.

A total of £7427 has come in since yesterday which means we have £6408 remaining. A lot of hard work has gone in and a lot of development has taken place since the Masjid was purchased in 2010. We are now reaching what we believe is one of the last opportunities to be a part of the physical foundation work of Masjid As-Sunnah in Bradford and Allah knows best. £6408 roughly equates to 6 and a half bricks. We ask those who want to make this noble investment to donate if they are able. Today a person has health and the worldly possessions are given such importance and value. Tomorrow, when health is taken away and death draws close, the worldly possessions overnight become completely insignificant. A person at this point races towards doing anything he can that will act as a continuous charity for him in the hereafter. Today the opportunity is there, tomorrow it may be gone.  We only remind to encourage ourselves and then others to invest in that which will truly benefit them....and that is sadaqah. This may be to the poor, to the orphans or anyone else in need. This maybe towards the Masaajid where Allah is worshiped alone and millions will make prostrations over hundreds of years to come. We look at the giving of wealth of the likes of Abu Bakr and Umar radiAllahu anhuma and it gives us the examples to follow. May Allah make our actions sincere for His sake alone and accept our deeds and make our ending good. Ameen.

We ask Allah to reward him and all those who make such sacrifices in the way of Allah.
