Taking place this Sunday, in shā Allāh.

22/03/2026

A small number of spaces remain for the Adult-only class and are expected to fill quickly.

The Under 16s class is now heavily oversubscribed, and a waiting list is in place.

This course is ideal for those who may not have studied formally for many years and are now looking to reconnect with their dīn in a structured and supportive way.

Delivered entirely by experienced female teachers, the classes create a comfortable environment where you are encouraged to ask questions, reflect, and build confidence in your understanding.

The course covers essential Fard ‘ul ‘Ayn knowledge, including Fiqh, Beliefs, Sīrah, Tajwīd, Tafsīr, and Islamic History: knowledge that is personally obligatory and foundational for every Muslim.

Strengthening your own understanding is not just for yourself, but key to raising upright, practising children with confidence in their faith and religious practices.

Our Foundation Diploma in Islamic Studies course (Jan 2024 intake) is now oversubscribed. Existing applicants will be contacted over the next two weeks, and new applicants will be placed on a waiting list.

For the past 12 years, our organisations have been volunteer-led and run. No payroll, no expenses and no opportunity for personal gain aside from the accumulation of good deads. And this is how we plan to continue operating.

Alhamdullilah, with the barakah of this, we've managed to deliver groundbreaking educational initiatives in this town, including an all-girls educational Institute which has produced its own teachers (who now teach in a voluntary capacity), a weekend boys school with over 100 students, we've delivered hundreds of events and courses, distributed thousands of free books, delivered a host of youth activities and spearheaded Halifax's response to the COVID-19 pandemic via the volunteer-run Halifax Community Fridge.

But aside from the time and dedication of our volunteers, we've also been supported by a few until-now anonymous donors who have financially supported our projects - allowing us to avoid any form of grant funding.

The businessmen who have supported us for a number of years include:

Asif Saddiq of Pinnacle Chartered Accountants & Tax Specialists
Khuram Choudery Hussain of Elland Cars
Shafakat Bashir from Elysium Structures

We're incredibly grateful for their continuous support, and we're confident they recognise just how far-reaching and impactful their backing has been.

We’re also incredibly grateful for everyone who has contributed over the last 12 years, your donations have shaped our Dawah work.

We're now in the process of developing and launching another much-needed initiative and are extending an opportunity for sponsors to back the project with either a one-off or monthly donation. We will share more details soon, but in the meantime, if any of the work of the Green Dome Trust, Madni Youth Movement, Rabia Institute, Dabbagh Press and Halifax Community Fridge is accepted in the court of the Almighty, we pray that the reward reaches all those who have supported any of the organisations in any way shape or form too.

If you'd like to set up a standing order or have any questions about the new project, please get in touch. As a reminder, our bank account details are:
