SALAFI MASJID & SCHOOL FUND RAISING APPEAL
(BRADFORD, UK)







Alhamdulillah, we have secured a building for the purpose of providing the
community in Bradford with a Masjid and School. We require 290,000 pounds
in donations and/or loans in order to purchase the premises outright.  We
sincerely request from you to work tirelessly for this endeavour in order
to strengthen and cultivate the community upon the Quran and Sunnah.

We require IMMEDIATE ACTION on behalf of ALL as we have until this
Thursday (1st July 2010)  to determine whether we have enough funds to
put down a deposit.
  We must grasp this opportunity that Allaah
Azawajjal has put before us and take this community forward. Donations
(regardless of how large or small) can be made IMMEDIATELY in cash/debit
card/paypal or via bank transfer.

If you are able to make loans towards the Albaseerah Masjid Project please
contact the brothers at the Albaseerah Centre immediately. We understand
that some of you may require further information. Please contact any of the
brothers at Albaseerah (+44 (0)1274 395 007) info@albaseerah.com and they
will be more than happy to help. We have a special extended donation
hotline every day this week until 7pm.
We urge the community not to
delay in making payment as time is of the essence in this project.

Just to end then we would like to mention that Bradford has one of the most
highly concentrated number of Muslims in the UK. The building that we have
secured is absolutely amazing. We are confident that the success of this
project will change and revolutionise Bradford forever (Insha'Allah) and
open up a new city for the people to move into.

The target is so easily achievable but it requires the help of everyone of
you. Aid in the path of Allah and He will aid you. Please remember that
every single person who makes a prostration in that masjid or every child
that memorises an ayat of the Qur'an then you will get a portion of that
reward Insha'Allah.

Jazakumullahu Khairan

Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullaahi Wa Barakatuhu,

We know the great reward that Allaah has stipulated for the one who gives
in His way. What greater reward than helping and aiding the community by
setting up a Masjid and School in Bradford. By the blessing of Allaah, we
have found a fantastic building in a great location, however, funds are
needed in order for this project to become a reality.

The target of 290,000 pounds although is a large amount of money, it is
certainly not impossible or unachievable. Having already raised close to
110,000 pounds, this a humble request and plea to the sisters everywhere to
come forward and aid the call to the Qur'aan and Sunnah.

In times such as these there is a great need for us and our children to
have facilities where the pure Islam is taught and sisterhood is encouraged
and spread. A place where our children can learn and memorise the Qur'an,
also learning about the world around them. A place where we can all gather
to seek knowledge including Arabic and Tajweed, in order to better
ourselves and our households.  

We all know about the great reward for the one who helps with the
establishment of places of worship where Allaah is worshipped in the way
that He is pleased with. Indeed giving a small amount of money for the
masjid will be something that will remain with you by way of reward even
after your death.

In the past women have given their wealth, sold their gold and asked their
friends and family to help raise money. Without such enthusiasm and
sacrifice, you would not find such places in other cities, and indeed
ability is from Allah. Indeed the sisters have stood up strong side by side
and helped to make such things possible. We now have a need for this in
Bradford. So we ask all the sisters to give in the way of Allaah and make
this possible.

The sisters in Bradford are committed to work together in the establishment
of the forthcoming school InshaAllah.

Indeed aid is from Allaah. May Allaah reward you all.

Wasalamu alaikum Wa Rahmatullaah.

Written by the sisters at Albaseerah Bradford

I would like to add support to the appeal of our respected brothers and sisters in Bradford and encourage everyone to help in creating a stronger da'wah to the Sunnah in this city which has a huge Muslim population and has great potential. This would involve a huge amount of recurring reward for whoever spends from his or her wealth for the sake of Allaah.

The da'wah has been running here for about 7-8 years and in that time the brothers - who are resourceful, hard-working, and productive maashaa'Allaah, may Allaah reward them - have managed to set up a bookstore and a centre where study circles, Arabic lessons, Tajweed lessons, and teaching of children takes place.  Shaykh Falah Isma'eel (hafidhahullaah) has visited here a few times to give lectures, and all the du'at from around the country attend the seminars and conferences throughout the year.The basic books of aqidah and tawhid - from the explanations of the Scholars - have been taught here over those years and recently the attendance maashaa'allaah has increased significantly.

If these premises can be acquired, there will be a huge benefit not just for Bradford but also for the surrounding areas and communities, and it will help to create a larger and tighter community that is brought together through the proposed masjid and school. In fact, I believe that the da'wah would benefit nationally, if it can be bolstered and strengthened in Bradford, for the reason that it is a major city and there is simply a huge potential here as well as the surrounding areas which also have significant Muslim populations.

If we just had 200 people each contributing a thousand pounds by asking 10 people from their family relatives, friends and local businesses to contribute a hundred pounds each, this goal can be easily reached, with Allaah's aid, within 2 weeks.

So I would like to encourage everyone to try their hardest to make this project a success and to anticipate their reward from Allaah, the Most High.

AssalamuAlaikum Wa Rahmatullah,

We would just like to update everyone on our situation:


Collected so far: 120, 339 UKP
Amount to go: 169, 661 UKP


Now we have until this Thursday 7pm to decide whether we will pursue our offer for this building or not. If we do agree to pursue it, we will have to put a deposit down of approx. 28,000 - 35,000 pounds (non-refundable). As you can appreciate, this is a large amount of money and we would not want to put a deposit down unless we have reached a satisfactory target of atleast 150,000 pounds. This will then mean we would have about 6 weeks to collect the remaining 140,000.

So our humble plea to everyone to please try and collect as much money as you can. At the moment we have 73,200 in loans and 47,139 in donations. We wish to stress that we would prefer donations. Our donation hotline is open daily until 7pm (01274 395007).

We ask Allah to make this project a success. We can only take the means for indeed success is from Allah.

UPDATE:

Collected so far: 135, 087 UKP
Amount to go: 154, 913 UKP



1. We have submitted our offer for the premises via our solicitors and are awaiting a response.

2. The brothers at Albaseerah have an important meeting scheduled for Tuesday and more information will be provided regarding project developments and decisions.

We wish to take this opportunity to thank every single person who has donated money to the project. The response has been absolutely unbelievable and has really emphasised how the community is indeed one body. May Allah reward all of you with a great reward and make this deed heavy on your scales on yawmul-Qiyaamah.

A reminder that although we set a personal milestone of 150k by Thursday 1st July (yesterday), this does not mean that we are not accepting further donations. Rather we are still in need of 154,913 pounds so please continue to ask family and friends for donations. We still have a very long way to go but the initial response has been nothing short of breathtaking.

Your brothers at Albaseerah

UPDATE:

Collected so far: 142,133 (49.0%)
Amount to go: 147,866 (51.0%)



1. We have just been informed that the agent has accepted our offer for the building. We are now awaiting a final decision and confirmation from the building owners. We should have an answer within a week.

2. The meeting by the brothers at Albaseerah took place last Tuesday. Various fund-raising strategies, long term plans and requirements from within the Bradford community were discussed. We also set some milestones which we will outline to you once our offer has been confirmed.  

3. We raised approx. 1500 pounds this Tuesday during the cupping session and lecture with Abdulillah.

4. A sisters bazaar has been organised this Sunday with all proceeds going towards the masjid fundraiser project. We encourage everyone to come along and support the cause.

5. We have been informed that many brothers and sisters from around the country have done local events to raise money for the masjid. We sincerely thank you and ask Allah to accept it from you. Keep it up!  

REQUEST:
We are still in urgent need of donations. So we encourage and make a plea to everyone to ask family and friends, organise local events etc. to raise money. At the moment from the 142,133 that we have raised, 68,933 is donations and 73,200 is loans. From our own experiences and learning from similar projects in other communities we do not want to be in a situation where the loan ratio is too big. This would cause us long term difficulties and we want to avoid this at all cost. So we encourage donations over loans.

Finally, if you have any questions or queries regarding the campaign please do not hesitate to contact us on 01274 395007 or email info@albaseerah.com.

We have been informed that our offer has been accepted by the owners of the building Alhamdulillah. This is extremely pleasing news for all of those who have worked very hard to make this project a reality. It is with this information that we now wish to begin PHASE 2 of this project:



The following are a few facts that we feel everyone should be aware of:
  1. Within 24 days (Sunday 15th August) from today we must have all the money in our bank to provide proof to the third party.
  2. Shortly after this date we will need to put down a 10-20% (29,000 to 58,000 pounds) deposit which is non-refundable.
  3. The expected completion date would be September 2010 InshaAllah.

With this information, the Brothers in Bradford have collectively agreed that out of the total building purchase cost (290,000 pounds), a minimum of 50% of this figure must be financed through donations as to make the loan-paybacks achievable in the deadlines agreed.

To clarify this, we need at least 70,639.11 pounds of donations within the next 24 days. The fact that the global community helped raise 74,360.89 pounds in under 3 weeks does not make this an impossible task at all, inshaAllaah. But we really need every person, every family,and every community to really help us to make this a reality.

Our brothers and sisters in Manchester only recently raised around 3K in donations through a variety of fund-raising methods. The Sisters in Bradford also came together and raised over 4K, through various fund raising activities. Not only do we take this opportunity to thank them all for this, but we want to use these examples as an encouragement to other communities.

The success of the Dawah in Bradford is indeed the success of the Dawah in the whole country, if not the world. Whoever lives in the UK then they will undoubtedly know that Bradford is world famous for the high density of Muslims living here and furthermore offers a fantastic community feel. So we really do feel that for those who desire a more affordable, quiet, less busy city for themselves and their children then Bradford would be an ideal choice. Since our project launch we are already aware of approx. 4 families who are moving here, including some from outside the UK.

So we ask our Mothers, Fathers, Brothers, Sisters, Daughters and Sons across the world to help us make this city an even better place to live by aiding us in establishing a Masjid and School that will help nurture the current and future generations. Be part of something special and aid in establishing the Religion of your Creator Allaah (To whom belongs all Praise) in the city of Bradford, UK.

Our community here has tried its very best to learn from common mistakes from other communities so the steps and decisions we are taking are in light of the various lessons learned and the experiences gained.

Adding to what Abu Iyaad Amjad mentioned previously, if only 100 people made a personal goal of raising 2K each we would have all the money needed for this building. It just requires effort, asking every friend, colleague, family member and utilising all fund raising ideas.

We wish to remind everyone once again that this building is truly unique MashaıAllah and is ideal for the needs of the community. We also end by reminding you that every person who makes that prostration to Allah, 5 times a day, 365 days a year, a hundred years from now then by the permission of Allah you will get a reward of that. The nobility of such actions is clear to us from the Quran and Sunnah, its just the reminder that we are in need of.

Our website will be updated 24 hours a day with the latest figures. Remember you can donate:

  • Via BACS (s/c: 201188 a/c: 83180263)
  • By phoning 01274 395 007
  • Via Paypal online at www.albaseerah.com (we incur a small fee)
  • Cheque payable to Albaseerah Fundraising Account

Aid Allahs Religion and He will Aid you.

All praise is due to Allaah, Lord of the worlds, and may the peace and blessings of Allaah be upon the Messenger, Muhammad. To proceed:

May Allaah, the Mighty, the Majestic and Most Generous accept the efforts of our brothers and sisters in Bradford in their endevour to establish a Masjid, Islamic Centre and School for the sake of their Lord, seeking nothing but His Face and Pleasure.

There is no doubt that we are in great need of these places of worship, wherein our Rabb is called upon with Tawheed and the Sunnah of His Messenger (salallaahu 'alaihi wassallam) is acted upon and spread throughout the region.

We have known the Salafi brothers in Bradford and Leeds for over ten years and they are upon Salafiyyah without doubt. They have aided in the spreading of the Sunnah through the organisation of conferences and duroos; by way of the internet and invitation of Shaikhs and du'aat to their events. I ask that the Muslims, the people of Sunnah, aid our brothers in their efforts, and that they co-operate with them to establish this khair, just as Allaah, the Most High, has stated: And cooperate with one another upon righteousness and piety, and cooperate not upon sin and transgression. May Allaah bless their efforts and make easy for them the attainment of this building. Ameen.

And all praise is due to Allaah, and the peace and blessings of Allaah be upon our Prophet, Muhammad, his family, his Companions and all those who follow them.

AssalamuAlaikum Wa Rahmatullah

The brothers and sisters from Albaseerah will be present at the conference InshaAllah. There will be no dedicated donation stall\stand at the conference due to the understandable needs of the local Birmingham community. However for those of you who have already made a donation pledge and would like to hand this to us, we will be able to arrange collection of this throughout the conference. We know there are those of you who have pledged to give gold and other money. For those of you who would like to make a pledge before the conference and hand over the money during the conference please email us with the details before hand on info@albaseerah.com. During the event you can arrange drop off of your pre-arranged donation by texting or calling 07561 237218.

We still require 131,533 pounds and 17 days remaining. We are trying our best, utilising all the means possible to collect this money on a local level. We urge the community nationwide and worldwide to continue supporting us. Looking at the target, we are under no illusion that this project has the potential to collapse due to the large amount of money still required. But we know that with Allahs aid this can be achieved. We ask Allah to make our affair easy.

Once again, please ring 07561 237218 at the conference if you would like to hand over any donations to us. If there is a lecture taking place and you are unable to get through, please text us and someone will get back to you.

As we approach the last 10 days of our fund-raising, here is where we stand:



For those of you who have been keeping up-to-date on our website will have noticed a dramatic change in the figure today. Alhamdulillah this is because of a group of our brothers who loaned us 50,000 pounds yesterday. Indeed he who has not thanked the people has not thanked Allah. We ask Allah to increase their provisions 10 folds and grant them the highest reward for helping us establish this Masjid of Sunnah. Jazakumullahu Khair ikhwaan. This has indeed given everyone a massive boost knowing that we are now a stone-throw away of reaching our target.

O our Brothers and Sisters. Maybe some day we will give a detailed account to you of the difficulties we have faced in trying to raise this money. A project which began as a dream is today becoming a reality. Allah has aided us and opened up ways and means that we simply did not know existed. We thank Allah azzawajal and ask Him to increase us in our blessings.

We want to end by launching our 44 bricks to lay campaign. All we require is 44 of you to buy the last 44 bricks of this Masjid and we are done. Each brick costs 2000 pounds each (3174 USD). We went to the conference in Birmingham last weekend and saw thousands of people. From amongst all the community in the entire world, all we require is 44 of you to buy 1 brick each.

With it being the last 10 days we will now provide daily updates via all mediums. If you require immediate updates then please visit www.albaseerah.com. Whenever some money reaches our bank account we almost immediately update the figures on the website. We will also have a 44 brick grid that will appear on our website by tomorrow InshaAllah. Please do not delay in donating. Sometimes man is clouded with the following thoughts I donıt need to give, Im sure they will raise the money somehow without my help or input. Indeed this is the dangerous mentality that prevents us from giving. By Allah the money we have raised today would not have happened if all of us thought like this. Rather our figures show that 10,012 pounds came through paypal and 57,487 pounds came through cash or bank transfer. Some people gave 5, 10, 20, 100, 1000, 2000 and 5000 pounds. This is how we achieved this. So we remind ourselves and all of you not to delay in donating. Jazakumuallahu Khair for all those who donated so far. Your efforts and reward is surely with your Lord, to whom you will return.

Remember you can donate:

  • Via BACS (s/c: 201188 a/c: 83180263)
  • By phoning 01274 395 007
  • Via Paypal online at www.albaseerah.com (we incur a small fee)

LATEST NEWS:


We have just been informed that one of the brothers who was due to loan us 17,000 pounds has now withdrawn his loan, QadrAllahu Mashafa'al. This is something that is completely beyond our control and we ask Allah to replace it with something better. Our figures have therefore changed to the following:




Allah Willing we will still achieve our target. We once again urge everyone to help. To clarify our previous post, please find the following diagram which simplifies our target. We now need 50 people to buy 50 bricks and we are done. This of course does not mean that you cannot give less than 2000 pounds. Rather every penny makes a pound. So indeed every penny counts and we do not belittle any donation regardless of how small it is. We are just trying to encourage everyone to give as much as they can due to the short amount of time remaining.Since our post yesterday we raised 3589 pounds with donations from UK, America, Netherlands and Indonesia. With Allah's aid we can do this.

IMPORTANT REMINDER:
After the 10 days are over we must show proof of funding i.e. have all the money in our bank account so that the building owners know that we have the finances. Otherwise our offer will be rejected. So whatever money you have collected then please deposit it into our account asap. Jazakallah Khair.

UPDATE @ 12:16AM FRIDAY 6TH AUGUST
The first brick has just been sold for 2000 pounds. Jazakallahu Khair

UPDATE @ 6:40PM 9-8-2010
- Another 3 bricks purchased
(SEE WWW.ALBASEERAH.COM FOR ALL UPDATES)


We require 86,454 pounds and have 6 days to go. Your help is urgently required (we really cannot emphasise this enough). Please go to www.albaseerah.com and purchase a brick for the sake of Allah azzawajal. We are running out of time. Without your assistance we may not be able to proceed (Allah's aid is sought). We ask Allah to give everyone the ability to give. Jazakumullahu Khair to all of you who have already donated, sacrificed your wealth and time in Allah's path.

Allah azzawajal says:

Those who spend their wealth (in Allah's Cause) by night and day, in secret and in public, they shall have their reward with their Lord. On them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve. (Al-Baqarah 2:274)

Verily, those who give Sadaqat (i.e. Zakat and alms, etc.), men and women, and lend to Allıh a goodly loan, it shall be increased manifold (to their credit), and theirs shall be an honourable good reward (i.e. Paradise). (Al-Hadid 57:18)

It is a blessing that Ramadan is only a few days away:

In a narration in Al-Bukhari by ibn Abbas where he said:
The Prophet (salallaahu alaihi wa sallam) was the MOST GENEROUS amongst the people, and he used to be more so in the month of Ramadan.

Narrated Adi bin Hatim:
I heard the Prophet (salallaahu alaihi wa sallam) saying: Save yourself from the Hell-fire even by giving half a date-fruit in charity. No. 1336 - Al-Bukhari



IN ORDER FOR A MASJID AND SCHOOL TO OPEN IN BRADFORD, YOUR HELP IS REQUIRED! PLEASE SEND OUR EMAILS TO ALL ON YOUR MAILING LISTS AND HELP SPREAD THE WORD!

UPDATE @ 1:05PM 10-8-2010
2 FULL BRICKS AND 2 HALF BRICKS SOLD SINCE LAST NIGHT!


UPDATE @ 3:02PM 10-8-2010
ANOTHER HALF A BRICK SOLD!

ANOTHER HALF A BRICK SOLD!


UPDATE @ 5:05PM 10-8-2010
ANOTHER HALF A BRICK SOLD!

76,693 POUNDS TO GO

We begin with praising Allah azzawajal. It has reached us that one of our sisters sold her gold today for 2675 pounds and donated this money. We ask Allah to make it heavy on her scales on yawmul qiyaamah. We ask Allah to reward her husband for supporting her in this sacrifice. Indeed your reward is with Allah. We also ask all of you to make supplication for them. In addition, 3 other brothers purchased 1 full brick and 2 half bricks. We ask Allah to increase their provisions and grant them and their families health and well-being.

6 days ago one of our brothers withdrew his 17,000 pound loan. We asked Allah to replace it with something better. Since then Allah has blessed us with 24,759 pounds of pure donation (not loan). And which of our Lord's favours will we deny? To Allah belongs All Praise.

News is coming everyday of amazing sacrifices from our brothers and sisters around the country. By Allah it brings tears to the eyes and at the same joy to see how Ahlus Sunnah aid one another during difficult times. We heard of a sister in London who had no money to donate but got people to donate items which she then sold. She raised over 200 pounds and will be doing the same thing this weekend. May Allah increase their provision 100 fold. There are so many stories to tell and one can not do justice to them by way of these emails.

Ibn Abbas said: The Prophet (salallaahu alaihi wa sallam) was the MOST GENEROUS amongst the people, and he used to be more so in the month of Ramadan.


We continue our plea to all of you. There is still 76,693 pounds to go and 5 days remaining. Please donate for the sake of Allah. Your wealth will surely not decrease. Ramadhan could begin tomorrow. It amazes us for there could not be a better time to give in charity. We thank you and ask Allah to accept it from all of you.

We want to end with an email we got from a 6 year old girl yesterday:

Date: Mon, 9 Aug 2010 19:00:56 +0300

Subject: email from my daughter and son aged 6 and 5.

UPDATE @ 1:47PM 11-8-2010 -
Another FULL BRICK has been purchased (SEE WWW.ALBASEERAH.COM FOR ALL
UPDATES)


UPDATE @ 5:20PM 11-8-2010 -
ANOTHER HALF A BRICK SOLD! JAZAKILLAH KHAIR

73,558 POUNDS TO GO


As the deadline day is only 4 days away (106
hours),
a repeated plea to all of you to help us in
establishing a School and Masjid in Bradford. We only intend the pleasure
of Allah through this. We also ask all the Maraakiz (Islamic Centres)
around the country to buy a brick (or more) each so that we can get closer
to our target.
Indeed this community is but one body and the goal is
one, to establish the worship of Allah alone without any partners.
Jazakumullahu Khair to those who have already aided us greatly.

We want to provide a school so that a generation is brought up loving
Islam, loving the Sunnah and at the same time strong, educated people of
society. We see within our cities children who are going to masjids to
learn but as soon as they leave, you see little Islamic etiquettes upon
them. Of course our goals and intentions will not be easy to achieve, but
it is a goal we have firmly set for ourselves.

We require 74,573 pounds and have 4 days to go. Your help is
urgently required. Ramadhaan has begun and no doubt there is immense
blessing in giving charity in this blessed month. Let us increase in good
deeds this month.

A few points that need mentioning:

1. Can those who are donating 1000 pounds or close to this figure please
transfer the money to our bank account rather than using
paypal.
This is because paypal sometimes freeze big donations for
reviews and also a fee is incurred by us. So we would prefer bank transfers
for large amounts of money.

2. We are now accepting telephone donations 24 hours a day. Please
ring 01274 395007 if ringing between 10pm-6pm. Please ring 00 44 7561237218
if calling after 6pm. We will take your card details and process the
payment during working hours.

3. For those who wish to make International Bank Transfers please find the
IBAN number below.

When we fast in the month of Ramadhaan we refrain from food and drink for
the pleasure of Allah. No doubt it can be difficult. Likewise we remind
ourselves to sacrifice our wealth for the pleasure of Allah. Indeed those
who give in Allah's cause will see greater returns in their wealth (if
Allah Wills).



We are sending these daily reminders due to the urgency of the situation.
Indeed a reminder benefits the believer.

WassalamuAlaikum Wa Rahmatullah

In the last 1 hour, 4 bricks worth 8000 pounds have been purchased. This is from one brother who donated 5000 pounds and our brothers and sisters from Cardiff who fund raised 2450 pounds for our project. By Allah we could not thank you enough for your donations and support. We ask Ar-Rahman to accept it from you and make it a means for you to attain the highest station in paradise.

Jazakumullahu Khair.

REMINDERS REGARDING THE REWARD OF CHARITY

Allah the Most High said:
Who is the one who gives a beautiful loan to Allaah so that He
will multiply it manifold?
(2:245)

Abu Hurairah (radiallaahu anhu) reports that the Messenger (alayhis salam))
said, "No charity ever caused wealth to diminish." Reported by
Muslim.

Aa'isha (radiallaahu anhaa) reports that the Messenger (sallallaahu alayhi
wasallam) said: "Indeed Allah causes the date or morsel (of food) [which
one of you gives in charity] to grow just as one of you brings up his foal
or young camel, up until it becomes the like of [Mount] Uhud."
Reported
by al-Tabarani and Ibn Hibban, declared Sahih by Imam al-Albani
(rahimahullah) in Sahih al-Jami' (no. 1815).

Ibn Mas'ud (radiallahu anhu) reports that the Prophet (alayhis salaam)
said: "Let one of you save his face from the Fire even if it be with a
date-stone"
Reported by Ahmad and declared Sahih by al-Albani in Sahih
al-Jami (no. 5357).

And Jabir (radiallahu anhu) reports that the Prophet (alayhis salam) said
to Ka'b bin Ujrah: "...and charity extinguishes sins like water
extinguishes fire."
Reported by al-Tirmidhi, declared Sahih by al-
Albani in Sahih al-Jami' (no. 1724).

Umar bin Abdul-Aziz said: "Prayer takes you one half of the way, fasting
makes you reach the door of the King, and charity enters you upon Him", and
Yahya bin Mu'adh said, "I do not know of any seed that equals the weight of
the mountains of the earth, except the seed (grain) given in charity."

(al-Matjar al-Raaj fi Thawab al-Amal al-Salih, of al-Hafidh al-Dimyati (d.
705H), p.134.

ANNOUNCEMENT

Bismillah,
AssalamuAlaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Baraktuhu


At 10:38am this morning we received a call in relation to our purchase of the premises. It is with great pain and sorrow that we have to inform you that the owners have changed their mind and have now decided to sell the church to another Christian denomination for a lower price. Even though our offer was accepted, as many of you will know the property is not owned until completion. We have arranged an urgent meeting with the agent on Monday afternoon and will provide a detailed update thereafter.

This news has come as a complete shock to us and no doubt to every single one of you who have worked tirelessly over the last 5 weeks. The sorrow that we feel is deepened knowing the efforts and sacrifices you, our brothers and sisters from across the world, have made.

We ask Allah to grant you and us patience during this very difficult time. We all made Istikharah and this is the outcome. Whatever Allah wills will occur. To Allah we belong and to Him we will return.

We cannot allow the loss of this building to prevent us from continuing the effort to establish a School and Masjid upon the Sunnah in the city of Bradford. This building may have passed us but our goals and aspirations have strengthened; we will continue to strive to find other suitable premises as soon as possible. We continue to anticipate the aid of Allah.  

Albaseerah Bradford, United Kingdom
