Sheikh Ahmed Ali’s life and works around the world are truly commendable, his efforts in Bradford started in 1999 he was appointed second Imam at his local mosque, Masjid Bilal. From here Sheikh devoted almost all of his time and efforts to the work of dawah, initially to his immediate community, and then further afield nationally and internationally.
In the field of Dawah for Sheikh Ahmad Ali there have been no boundaries. His desire to build on his dawah work has always been foremost and was the main tool that instigated the establishing of Al Ma’ hadul Islami (The Islamic Academy) in Bradford, England. This institution to this day has been providing Islamic counselling, education and guidance to the youth and elders alike.
Sheikh continued to work from his base Al Ma’hadul Islami to establish further institutes that would inshallah benefit the community and ummah on a whole.
Throwing aside any barriers that were placed before him, Sheikh’s determination to inculcate deen in our young then led him to purchase and renovate a building in order to set up Crystal Gardens Primary School in 2005, catering for Muslim children from the ages of 5 to 11.
Sheikh worked selflessly and completed the renovation of his new school building purchased in 2007. Eternal Light Secondary School for Boys currently has 142 boys on the register and will inshallah expand gradually. Boys undertake the hifz (memorization of the Holy Quran and Alim classes as well as their secular education.
Currently under the guidance of Sheikh Ahmed Ali, a secondary school for girls is under construction in BD5 for young girls to thrive not just in their Islamic education but their secular education till A Levels.
In order for the work to be completed and the school to open its doors in the next academic year Inshallah, a request is made for a donation form the public.
The investment will not only secure a future for our daughters and sisters but also an investment in your own Akirah.
