Alhamdulillah, Al-Ihsaan Foundation have been operating since 2018, serving the community in Leicester.
By the Grace of Allah, its activities have expanded greatly in this relatively short period of time.
Currently, over 400 students benefit from our evening ‘Madrassah’.
In addition to providing Islamic education for children, we facilitate Islamic guidance and courses for the wider community. We also hold Jumu’ah and Eid prayers for the growing community in the area. Taraweeh prayers are also performed in Ramadhan.
Our vision is a society where the core Islamic values of Belief, Knowledge, Spirituality, Worship and Charity are established, according to the correct understanding of Islam, the Qur’an and Sunnah in the ways shown by the Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) and his companions.
Al-Ihsaan Foundation aims to realise this vision by establishing a Centre of Da’wah and Learning, to educate, empower and inspire the unprivileged in the Muslim community, locally and across the world, through spiritual guidance, educational enrichment and dynamic social and charitable services.
Promoting inclusion is one of our most important, charitable aims. We hope to achieve this by providing the Muslim community with social, cultural and educational activities open for people of all ages and backgrounds to create a common sense of identity, moral responsibility, self reliance, as well as a strong community spirit and duty, with a view to guide alienated groups to play a meaningful part in a multicultural society.
There is a great need for Islamic education taught by qualified & integrated teachers. We aim to provide dynamic educational courses in order to enrich the Muslim community with foundational knowledge. With innovative courses, seminars and presentations, we hope to make Islamic knowledge accessible to all.
By working together we hope to establish a healthy and progressive community. A community built upon the good and positive ethos of Islam.
We would like our youth to be proud of their identity and have a healthy understanding of their religion, enabling them to contribute to society through their Islamic ideals.
In order to meet growing demand, Al-Ihsaan Foundation has been searching for a location as a centre for its activities. By the Grace of Allah, a plot of land with an existing property on-site has been identified. We are very pleased that the site is suitable for our plan to repurpose the property as a community centre.
The plot (site of the former Mayflower Pub) is a 2-storey, self-contained, standalone building with excellent space and room for growth, good proximity to the local community, facilities and amenities. Whilst the building has 60 private parking spaces, there are additional parking spaces nearby.
Alhamdulillah, we have managed to raise £400,000 at the time of this going to print. To complete the project, we still require £800,000.
We would like to extend our gratitude to all those who have already contributed and request them to continue to contribute to this noble cause. We also make a heartfelt appeal to our Muslim brothers and sisters, across the UK and beyond, to support this project in whichever way they can through their prayers, financial donations and by raising awareness.
