Story

As-Salamu Alaykum Everyone,

May the peace and blessings of Allah Ta'ala be upon all who read and respond to this URGENT APPEAL.

Many Years ago, when the Muslim population first started to expand in Burnley, our respected elders came together to establish what became known as the first Masjid in Town, Abu Bakr Masjid, way back in 1968, based on two terraced houses on Rectory Road.

Alhamdullilah by the Grace of Allah Ta'ala, we have come a long way since then with many successful projects, from the renovation of the masjid to the refurbishment of the Wuzu Khana & Toilets along with the student classrooms, above all, the Masjid has served the community well over the last 50 years.

A few years ago, a need of an expansion of our car park was identified in order to reduce the congestion in the local area and to provide activities for the younger generation.

Aims of the CAR PARK :

Stop the discomfort to the nearby residents with parking especially on Jumma/Eid Prayers

Will facilitate space for events such as Children Days Out with Bouncy Castles/BBQs

Provide local masjid students to play sports such as football/cricket

Organise gatherings such as Shabbi Jummah/Seerah Conferences more efficiently and effectively

Would accommodate space for Janaza prayers so the masjid is not congested inside and outside

Current Position

Funds are URGENTLY needed to:

Complete the Project at cost of £120,000 ( of which only £60,000 has been raised so far)

Dare to FLY: Zipline Challenge

25-30 local youngsters will put their daring to the test with an exhilarating challenge for an incredible cause! #TeamMasjidAbuBakr will partake in a truly unique exciting experience, they will fly over Zip World Penrhym Quarry, where they will travel at speeds of over 100MPH whilst also taking breath taking views.

Please Sponsor OUR youngsters in this amazing cause and challenge!!

Final Appeal

We invite you, our dear brothers and sisters in faith, to invest in a project that will give you guaranteed return in the Hereafter. Your donation will help build a place for our present, but more importantly, our future generations. A place where they may come and worship in and a place for our children to learn in and build strong foundations for their life and to be knowledgeable and good examples and valuable members of our society.

Our Beloved Messenger says,

Whoever builds a mosque for Allah, Allah will build for him a house like it in Paradise. [Bukhari, Muslim]

This is a great chance for you to invest in an everlasting reward opportunity and Sadaqah Jariyah. After a few months you may have forgotten your donation, but Allah Ta'ala does not forget and He rewards without measure.

The semblance of those who spend their wealth in the Way of Allah SWT, is as the likeness of a grain of corn, which grows seven ears and each ear has a hundred grains. Allah SWT gives manifold increase to whomever He pleases. Allah SWT is All-Sufficient, All-Knowing.

- The Holy Quran (2:261)

Whatever you give large or small is most gratefully accepted and will be put to the best use possible. We ask Allah Ta'ala to reward each and every one of you abundantly in both this life and the hereafter.

Please donate generously and if this is not within your means, then please spread this message and remember us in your noble prayers.

Jazak Allah Khayr,

Masjid Abu Bakr,
