FELTHAM HIRA NEWSLETTER—

LEADER OF THE COUNCIL AT HIRA CENTRE

Last week we were pleased to receive Cllr Steve Curran, leader of Hounslow

Council.

As part of his visit to the HIRA Centre, he

joined our new community activity: Have a

Cuppa and Enjoy a Chat. He welcomed

this initiative and showed his enthusiasm

to advertise it.

Cllr Curran could notice the arrangements

made through the years to ensure the

tranquility of the neighbourhood (noise

arrangements, parking notifications and

reminders) and the safety of the users.

Abdulaziz Ait-Rabah (Trustee) and Omer

El-Hamdoon, (Executive Manager);

explained the range of activities currently

held at the Centre and shared with him

some points of the development of the strategic plan. Cllr Curran was pleased to

see the progress made.

We thank Cllr Curran for his time and interest in our Centre and wish him to

achieve a lot during his term.

Educational and recreational activities for all

MORE ACTIVITIES AT HIRA

These times are exciting times for HIRA, as we try to expand our activities and

reach out to a wider audience. We do hope that our expansion in the Ubay

Quran School will benefit our children wishing to learn and live by the Quran.

This is coupled with the start of the Zayd ibn Thabit Youth Classes on Sundays;

and with the intensive Fiqh course starting soon (see inside for details).

We have launched our community initiative for reaching out to our neighbours

with the “Have a Cuppa” event; and the English classes for women continue, as

well as Arabic classes for sisters wishing to learn tajweed, tafsir and hadith.

We very soon hope to bring further education in the form of tuition; and

recreation in the form of youth activities, paintballing, football training and youth

clubs.

Alhamdu Lillaah, this is from the help of Allah and His support; and we ask Allah

to bless of you in your financial, physical and emotional support.

COURSE 1: THE FIQH OF PURIFICATION

2

ISLAMIC STUDIES: FIQH

SERIES

The Feltham HIRA Centre is

pleased to work in partnership

with the Kingston Oak Tree

Institute (KOTI) to deliver a

series of Islamic courses.

What are the courses about?

The courses are set up to

provide you with the basics of

Islamic ruling (Fiqh) in topics

that you need in your day to

day life (Purification, Prayer,

Trade, du’as). The teaching is

based on the Shafi’i school and

is suitable for anyone who is

seeking knowledge.

It will bring you a deeper

understanding of the topics and

give you the keys to correct

your own practice and support

your family members in their

practice.

Also, it will be the opportunity

to ask questions to an

experimented and qualified

Sheikh.

Each course is independent so

you can choose individual

courses or complete a series.

Who is it for?

The courses are open to

Sisters and brothers over 18s,

no pre-requisite needed.

Although the courses are

based on the Shafi’i school,

every Muslim can benefit from

them; as they will provide you

with strong foundations for your

practice of Islam and will in sha

Allah strengthen your faith.

Certificates will be delivered.

Tayammum (dray ablution)

• The ruling of each purification

- What purification to choose in what

circumstances?

- What is a valid purification?

- What does annul wudhu and other

purifications?

• The different types of impurities

Price: £15

Why is it so difficult for adults to memorise the Qur’an: lack of time, difficulty to

memorise, can’t find a teacher, hard to get back to school? etc… these are all

reasons why the more we grow up the more it is difficult to memorise the words of

Allah. Starting young is key to achievement.

Do you wish you could have learned and memorised more of the Qur’an when you

were younger, when you had more time (and less worries)? Would you like to offer

the opportunity to your child to memorise the Qur’an at their own pace?

As parents we would like our children to

turn to Allah today and tomorrow. For

that, what best than connecting them to

His words from a young age?

The Feltham HIRA Centre has set up the

Ubay Qur’an School open to girls (6-11)

and boys (6-14).

“Verily We have revealed

the book to you in truth for

instructing mankind. He

that receives guidance

benefits his own soul, but

he that strays injures his

own soul”. (39:41).

UBAY QUR’AN SCHOOL

Quran Memorisation Programme for Children

3

The management of Feltham HIRA is aware of the challenges that Muslims youth in the UK have or will have to face at school, Uni and at work. That’s why we decided to set up a class led by our imams to explain the foundations of our religion and most importantly how to implement and live these foundations in the society we are living in.

The classes will cover the following topics:

• Aqidah: creed. What are the Islamic principles of faith in Islam

• Fiqh: Understand the basic ruling of Islam and their reason to be

• Akhlaq: the manners of the Muslim

We believe that it is important to address these topics, especially to our youth; to support them building their Muslim British identity. Our aim is to make them feel strong and at peace with their faith to take part and contribute to a better Society without compromising their faith.

The classes are open to the young men aged between 11-18 years old. All welcome and no registration is necessary. Classes will take place - in sha Allah - every Sunday from 6-7pm.

ZAYD IBN THABIT YOUTH CLASS

Men and boys aged 12 and

above are invited to a paintball

HIRA TUITION

FELTHAM HIRA NEWSLETTER - BRINGING MORE TO THE COMMUNITY

At Feltham HIRA, we know that it can be challenging to support our children in

their scholarship due to the lack of time, or any other reason. We also know that

not all parents can afford private tuition.

As a Community Centre, we would like to offer to children in Feltham and around

tuition at low cost. The tuitionswill be open to all children, so please feel free to

spread the word with other parents.

We are hoping to start after half term. The tuition will be for children of Primary and

Secondary levels and different subjects will be proposed.

Keep an eye on our website www.hira.org.uk or follow us on Facebook @HIRA

Masjid for upadtes.

If you would like to help out with the tuition, please email us to admin@hira.org.uk

or call us on 074 6914 7968.
