Masjid’s new site at Knighton Lane East APPROVED – Funding request

Assalamu Alaykum all Brothers & Sisters

As you know, we have now obtained the LCC approval of our Masjid’s new site at Knighton Lane East and we must move quickly to the renovation stage so that we can open the Masjid asap.

In my view, the ex-Rugby Clubhouse as it is now is in an unusable state.
We have to make radical renovation including nocking down the wall partitions, re wiring and plumbing for heating and water and complete internal decoration, lighting and carpeting.

So far, two builders viewed the property and we are waiting for their and probably other builders formal quotes. However, one of these builders gave me a quick and rough estimation at £60-100K.

Frankly, we do not have enough fund as the costs of the legal and planning application processes were very high and depleted our budget significantly. For your information, the legal and planning processes, excluding the architect fee which has not been invoiced yet, cost well above £40K.

We need to start an extensive fundraising as follows:

• On a short term, we have to collect about £100K so that we can start the renovation. Our aim is that we open the building for worshiping as a Masjid either asap now or by February 2026 or just before next Ramadan. We shouldn’t miss the opportunity of Ramadan and its Barakah.
• ⁠On a middle term, we have to make sure that we have enough monthly fund to pay off the rent (>£2000), deposit, utility bill and the insurance.
  Therefore, I would urge you to consider donating regularly by standing order. We must have at least a 100 brothers & sisters who will pay a minimum of £50 monthly each by standing order for year or two or until the Masjid becomes self-sufficient. If you are able to pay more than £50 a month please do. Please send me a private message to let me know what you intend to do and how much you intend to donate monthly.

Please remember that “Whoever builds a house of Allah, ie, a masjid Allah will build for him/her a house in Jannah (paradise) (Authentic Hadith-Saheeh-ul-Bukhari and Saheeh Muslim). The houses of Jannah are not like the houses of Dunya. The houses of Jannah are built from gold and silver bricks and the cement between them is musk (Authentic Hadith).

May Allah reward you all in abundance? Ameen.

Kind regards.
