Alhamdulillah, the Salafi daʿwah has a long history in Leicester and has been built from the ground up with regular lessons and gatherings being held for many years. Many people have benefited from these lessons and the opportunity to study the Qur’an and the authentic Sunnah upon the understanding of the Salaf which has seen our community grow to the point of needing a permanent home to facilitate all our services and future plans.

By the permission of Allah, a venue has now been earmarked where a dedicated Salafi Markaz and place of worship can be established.

We are now seeking the support of the community to help us secure and prepare this space so that it can serve as a centre for prayer, learning, and daʿwah.

What This Markaz Will Be Used For

The aim is to establish a simple and beneficial space that will be used for:

• Regular Islamic lessons and study circles for adults and children

• Teaching the Qur’an and authentic Sunnah

• Community gatherings for beneficial knowledge

• A place where Muslims can learn their religion correctly

• Working towards establishing the five daily prayers in congregation

This Markaz will, in shāʾ Allāh, serve as a place of worship and learning for the local community.

Why Your Support Matters

Establishing a place where people can gather to learn their religion and remember Allah brings ongoing benefit to the community.

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:

“When a person dies, his deeds come to an end except for three: ongoing charity, beneficial knowledge, or a righteous child who supplicates for him.”

(Sahih Muslim – translation referenced from abukhadijah.com)

Helping establish a place where knowledge is taught and people gather for worship can be a form of ongoing charity (Sadaqah Jariyah).

How You Can Help

If you are able, you can support this effort by:

• Making a donation

• Sharing this fundraiser with others

• Making duʿā that Allah allows this Markaz to be established

Every contribution, large or small, will help bring this project closer to reality.

This fundraiser has been organised by members of the community to help establish a Salafi Markaz and place of worship in Leicester.

All funds raised will go towards securing and preparing the earmarked venue so that it can begin serving the community.

May Allah reward everyone who supports this effort and place barakah in it.
