A Call to the People of Scotland

Help Build England’s First Islamic Artefacts & Kiswa Arts & Culture Gallery

A Lasting Ṣadaqah Jāriyah for Generations

Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh,

We are humbly reaching out to our brothers and sisters across Scotland to support a historic and meaningful initiative — the establishment of England’s very first Islamic Artefacts & Kiswa Arts and Culture Gallery.

Although the gallery will be located in England, its purpose, benefit, and reward are for the entire Ummah and wider society. This is an opportunity for the people of Scotland to contribute to a lasting legacy of faith, education, inclusion, and unity — a true Ṣadaqah Jāriyah, in shā’ Allāh.

About the Gallery

The gallery will house and display authentic Islamic artefacts, including sacred sections of the Kiswa — the blessed cloth that covers the Holy Kaaba in Makkah, as well as textiles connected to Masjid an-Nabawi in Madinah.

These artefacts represent centuries of Islamic history, devotion, craftsmanship, and global heritage. Our aim is to preserve them within a permanent, respectful, educational space, allowing visitors to learn about Islam through history, art, and culture.

Open to All Faiths & Communities

This gallery will be open to everyone — Muslims and non-Muslims alike — promoting:

Community cohesion

Cultural understanding

Interfaith dialogue

Education through historical displays

Preservation of Islamic heritage

By opening Islamic history to the wider public, we aim to build bridges, challenge misconceptions, and encourage mutual respect.

♿ A Strong Commitment to Accessibility & Inclusion

An essential part of this project is ensuring the gallery is fully inclusive, particularly for:

The elderly

Children with special educational needs

♿ Visitors with disabilities

Your support will help us establish:

Accessible facilities and pathways

Disability-support equipment (wheelchair access, assisted displays, quiet areas)

Sensory-friendly museum experiences

Special learning schedules for children with additional needs

Tailored educational sessions allowing them to experience the museum in a way that suits their abilities and comfort

This ensures that no one is excluded from learning, reflection, and inspiration.

Why This Is Ṣadaqah Jāriyah

Every contribution made towards this gallery continues to give:

Knowledge taught

Faith understood

Communities united

♿ Lives supported

Children empowered

Elderly included

As long as people benefit from this space — your reward continues, by the permission of Allah.

A Special Appeal to the Scottish Community

We invite the people of Scotland to be part of this project, even though the gallery will be in England. Supporting Islamic knowledge, heritage, and accessibility knows no borders — and the reward of Ṣadaqah Jāriyah reaches far beyond location.
