As Sadaqa Jaariya for my recently departed beloved father Ijaz, I decided to continue fundraising for my recently opened local mosque by committing to run my first Half Marathon in early May - at The Great Birmingham Run.

Alhamdulillah, the masjid is up and running with your kind donations but still needs more funds to fully establish it's local vision.

By the Grace of Allah, my running journey continues building upon my recent running effort of 5K-a-day for 20 straight days in celebration of turning 20,000 days old (Alhamdulillah) and raising over £7000. Help me get over £10K as we seek to establish the best mosque in the Midlands InshaAllah.

This Masjid will enable the large Muslim community in Quinton, Harborne and the surrounding areas to access much-needed services that have not been previously available. InshaAllah, Services will include:

- Excellent salah facilities for brothers and sisters

- Children’s Supplementary School & Tuition Classes

- Spaces for community events

- Dedicated women’s classes

- Khutbahs and regular talks delivered by experienced scholars

- Youth Tarbiya & Mentoring Programmes and much more

Those who spend their wealth in charity day and night, secretly and openly – their reward is with their Lord, and there will be no fear for them, nor will they grieve.” Quran 2:274

Be part of this historical moment by donating and establishing the first masjid in the West Birmingham area.
