💧 How well do you know the rulings of purification?

Purification is an essential part of our worship but how confident are we that we know its rulings?

If our purification is not valid, then the acts of worship that depend upon it, such as our salah, will not be valid either. That is why learning these rulings is so important.

Would you know the answers to these everyday questions?

* If you have a wound, plaster or bandage , how do you make wudu?
* When can you wipe over your socks , and when can't you?
* What makes ghusl compulsory and what must actually be washed?
* If you fall asleep sitting down, is your wudu broken?
* If you notice blood on your clothe s, do you have to change them?

Our Rulings of Purification module will explore these practical questions and many more, giving you the knowledge and confidence to get the foundations of your worship right.

📅 Starts Sunday 27th September
🕓 4:00 – 5:00pm
👥 Brothers & Sisters (16+)

One Million Salawat — 30 Day Community Challenge

The 12th of Rabi al-Awwal is now just 30 days away. What better way to prepare for this blessed day than by spending the next 30 days filling our hearts and homes with Durood Sharif (Salawat) upon the one who gave everything for his Ummah.

Whether you're 7 or 70, every single one of us can be part of this beautiful challenge. Whether you recite 10, 100 or 1,000 Salawat each day , every single Salawat counts towards our shared goal of one million.

This is an opportunity to increase in blessings, attain Allah's mercy and forgiveness, and express our love for the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. It only takes a few moments, but the rewards are immense.

Make this a family effort. Encourage your children to join in, remind one another each day and share this challenge with your family and friends so that, together, we can reach One Million Salawat by 12 Rabi al-Awwal .

Let's make these next 30 days a testimony to our love for the Beloved of Allah ﷺ.

Your child will spend five years at secondary school learning algebra, Shakespeare and the periodic table...

But will they know...

* Why we pray and what the words of Salah actually mean?
* Who the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ really was beyond just his name?
* What Tawhid, Aqidah and Taqwa actually mean?
* How to distinguish between halal and haram in today's world?
* How to respond to the challenges of social media and peer pressure through Islam?
* Why good character is one of the greatest acts of worship?
* The lessons of the Night Journey, Hijrah and the Farewell Sermon?
* How Islam guides friendships, family life and everyday decisions?

These are just some of the essential topics covered in our Secondary Madrassa Programme.

Our aim is not simply to teach information but to help young Muslims develop a strong Islamic identity, confidence in their beliefs and the character to navigate the challenges of modern life.
