Repairing Masjid Al-Aqsa
We were all shocked to the core by the attacks on the Blessed Masjid Al-Aqsa, our third holiest site, during the last nights of Ramadan.
Not only were worshippers targetted, but the Masjid itself received £300,000 worth of damage. This included the destruction of the speaker system, which our donors funded back in 2008, as well as damage to the Masjid's doors, windows and the 13th century Burhan ad-Din Minbar.
Alhamdulillah, we have been given permission by our partners in Jerusalem to appeal for the repair of the Masjid. So far, our generous donors have raised half the funds we need, ma sha Allah! This has allowed work to begin, but we need your help to ensure the work continues and the best possible materials are used.
You can donate a share of £250 to receive a free bottle of olive oil from Al-Aqsa’s blessed trees, or give any amount to the fund and reap the rewards of preserving the Sacred Sanctuary.

Illuminating the Dome of the Rock!
The Prophet (saw) was asked, 'If one of us cannot visit it (Al-Aqsa), what should we do?' He (saw) said, 'Then he should make a gift of some oil to be lit therein [in its lamps]. For indeed the one who gifts this to it will be like the one who has prayed therein [worth 1,000 prayers]'. [Ahmad]
Alhamdulillah, we are honoured to invite you to an incredible opportunity - illuminating the Dome of the Rock Masjid! Located at the centre of the Blessed Masjid Al-Aqsa complex, it is believed to be the exact place where the Prophet (saw) was ascended into the heavens on Al-Isra wal-Mi'raj!

Renovating the Bab ar-Rahmah Cemetery
‘And whoever honours the symbols of Allah - indeed, it is from the piety of hearts’. [Quran, 22:32]
Bab ar-Rahmah was established at the time of Umar ibn al-Khattab (ra), and is thus around 1,400 years old!
Covering 11,000 square metres, it includes the graves of Sahabah such as Ubadah ibn Samit (ra), the first Islamic judge of Shaam and al-Quds, among 70 other Companions, leaders, martyrs and scholars.
Martyrs from many armies who defended Jerusalem are also buried here, as well as Turk Muslims who lived and died in Ottoman times.
Join us in preserving this significant Islamic landmark! Here's what your Sadaqah Jariyah can do:
- £100 renovates 5 square metres
- £200 renovates 10 square metres
- £500 renovates 25 square metres
