  • They have small Muslim community of over 70 families and 250 University students
  • Premises too small to accomodate the Jum'ah congregation and hence need to raise more money to build a two-storey extension
  • Cost of this work will be GBP 150,000

Allah melipatgandakan (ganjaran) bagi siapa yang Dia kehendaki. Dan Allah maha luas (kurnia-Nya) lagi maha mengetahui”. {Al Baqarah (2) : 261}
  • Dari Abu Hurairah RA, bahwa sesungguhnya Rasulullah SAW, telah bersabda: “Bila seorang hamba telah meninggal, segala amalnya terputus, kecuali tiga hal : amal jariyah, ilmu yang bermanfaat atau anak salih yang mendo’akannya” (HR. Bukhari, dalam Adabul Mufrad)
