Green Lane Masjid and Community Centre

Annual Report 2009

It is from the grace and favour of Allah Almighty, thathe has made 2009 a year in which our work at GreenLane Masjid and Community Centre (GLMCC) has

flourished. Everything from our regular classes andservices to our da’wah work and community projects hasbeen greatly enhanced.

By the grace of Allah, over 3,000 people come through thedoors of GLMCC on a weekly basis. This figure increasesdramatically in Ramadhan and during our feature eventssuch as conferences. We now regularly cater for differentsegments of our community and educate them in a varietyof languages; from daily classes to monthly workshops toannual conferences. None of this would be possiblehowever, without the blessings of Allah first and foremost,and then the hard and tireless work and dedication of theGLMCC staff and volunteers who ensure the success ofthese activities on a daily basis. The success of the summerand winter conferences of 2009 demonstrates this.

GLMCC has also been able to establish dedicated regularclasses and events catering for ladies, who unfortunately cansometimes be overlooked. In order to make them feel a partof the Masjid, GLMCC has a dedicated Sisters Committeewhich actively works on a daily basis to organise and arrangebeneficial classes and programmes for the ladies.

In order to further assist in the accommodation of all theseclasses and events, GLMCC has made structural improvementsto the building, with the installation of a new carpet in themen’s and women’s prayer halls, as well as the installation ofmoving partitions in the men’s prayer hall. After the blessingsof Allah, it was once again the donations of our generouscommunity which enabled us to complete these projects. Aswell as the improvements, GLMCC has also an establishedfuneral facility and reference library for the community’s use.

The Madrasah has seen many improvements during 2009,with GLMCC focusing much time and resources to theeducation of the next generation of British Muslims. Newsyllabi have been designed and implemented, and thestructure of classes improved with IT facilities and otherresources being used to aid the learning process.

On the youth front, GLMCC has recognised the need toactively engage with our Muslim youth in order to instil inthem Islamic ideals and morals. To this effect, a youthcommittee, ‘Young Ummah’ has been formed whichorganises weekly programmes dedicated to the youth, aswell as one-off special events.

Our wider community efforts have also multiplied inthe last year. In addition to holding weekly motherand toddler groups and a monthly reverts dinner,GLMCC worked with various civil bodies andorganisations to highlight important issues such asroad safety and Muslim children in state schools.Ramadhan is a time to solidify the bonds of thecommunity, and so the Masjid regularly held mini-iftars (breaking of the fast) on a daily basis, as wellas full iftars on certain days for both the Muslim andnon-Muslim community. As well as local communityinitiatives, GLMCC also played an active role inhelping the international Muslim community. TheMasjid raised £51,376 in total for Gaza and heldother fundraisers for natural disasters in Pakistan andIndonesia. In short, GLMCC has moved to work withour neighbours, local communities and schools, civiland government bodies as well as other organisationsin order to foster better community cohesion, andtogether tackle the issues which face us collectivelyas British citizens and Muslims.

All of this and more has been achieved by the bounty ofAllah and through the hard work of our volunteers, as wellas the support of our local community and congregation.However, there is still much more work which needs to bedone. To this extent, we ask Allah that He allows us tocontinue serving His religion and that He blesses ourefforts abundantly as we look ahead to 2010.

Daily & Friday Prayers

Green Lane Masjid has seen hugeattendances at the Masjid. This hasculminated in the use of all availablespace, including the Community Halland Old Masjid Hall for Friday prayers,as well as the car park (weatherpermitting). In order to facilitate thelarge crowds and ensure a smoothflow of people, the masjid has put inplace a rota of volunteers to assistand guide the worshippers.
