Founder’s RemarksThe past two years have been quite turbulent

for the global village as the economic situation

continues affl icting more wounds on the fi nancial

market. The situation not only has deepened in

the under developed world it has aff ected some

European countries severely which has resulted

in ‘big cuts’. The under developed nations face the

diffi cult road ahead and unfortunately in these

times of crisis they fi nd themselves in the most

extreme circumstances of surviving.

Despite the diffi cult task before us all Minhaj

Welfare Foundation has progressed forward in

its attempt to alleviating poverty in the third

world. MWF is considered to be one of the leading

charities in the UK and is truly fulfi lled in its

vision to becoming a Worldwide Humanitarian

Development organisation. Even in this worrying

time MWF has achieved many of its targets,

however there is still a long road ahead until it is

able to fulfi l the Millennium Development Goals.

Minhaj Welfare Foundation is grateful to all

its donors who have made it possible for it to

implement the vast array of projects in the third

world. One of our key ambitions is to convert short

term projects and reform them into long term and

sustainable projects for the destitute within the

Global village. MWF hopes to continue in working

in its three main areas of work; Education, Health

and General Welfare. We hope that you will

continue supporting MWF in all its endeavours.

The essence of charity work stems from the

support and backing of its volunteers, the

volunteers have devoted their own time to help

those in need. MWF is grateful to the volunteers

for ensuring an innocent child from a remote

village of Kitere, Kenya has full time education and

the young boy displaced from the troubles of civil

war is in the safety of those who care.

Even in these unprecedented times people have

continued on supporting the needy, MWF would

like to invite you to help us in creating a safer and

prosperous environment for those less fortunate

in the world.

Ongoing projects of MWFWater and Sanitation Projects

• Nearly 1 billion people don’t have safe water to drink.

• A child dies every 15 seconds from a lack of clean water.

• 1 in 4 children who die before age 5 worldwide, die of water related disease.

• Children often walk miles every day to collect dirty water to drink

In 1989, governments worldwide promised all children the

same rights by adopting the UN Convention on the Rights

of the Child. Article 24 specifi cally commits countries to

provide clean drinking water and ensure that parents and

children are supported in the use of basic hygiene and

sanitation.

However, despite signifi cant progress over recent

decades, more than 125 million children under

the age of fi ve live in households without

access to a safe water supply and more than

280 million children in the same age group

live in households without access to safe

sanitation facilities (UNICEF).

Minhaj Welfare Foundation enables

the world’s poorest people to gain

easy access to safe water and

sanitation. Water is a basic human

necessity and right, together with

health and education it plays an

essential part in overcoming

poverty.

MWF has initiated a Water

and Sanitation project by

installing hand and electric

pumps for people to gain

easy access to clean water

in areas struck by drought

or other external reasons.

MWF aims to install 1500

water pumps across

rural and urban areas

of Pakistan, so far 766

water pumps have

been installed. Many

millions of people have

benefi ted from water

pump projects.

Palestine: an ongoing crisisIt has almost been two years since the confl ict broke out on December 2008 in the Gaza region. The confl ict described by many commentators as one of the bloodiest disasters between the Israeli’s and the Palestinians since the 1960’s. There were thousands who lost their lives and many more were injured in this horrifi c ordeal that lasted a month. The international community spoke out against the disaster and launched an emergency relief program in Gaza.

Due to limited spaces in the hospitals of Gaza, many of the patients were transferred to the Hospitals of Cairo, Egypt. Some fl ed their own homes, children became distant from their parents; people had lost loved ones, the entire state was in turmoil.

Minhaj Welfare Foundation in partnership with the Palestinian embassy in Pakistan initiated a fl eet of aid in which blankets, medical supplies and food was distributed in the refugee camps. MWF initiated ILM, an educational project which sponsored displaced students to excel in their education.

Unfortunately since the disaster, the situation looks a lot gloomier. Most of you may not be aware that Gaza is facing a complete power cut; this is also in addition to the limited

access of essential aid to the people of Gaza. As things stand, four out of fi ve men, women and children in Gaza rely on humanitarian aid. There has been a huge international outcry to call for an international conference to lift the blockade of Gaza, allowing for humanitarian aid to reach the people.

Minhaj Welfare Foundation has launched a Relief project to provide electricity to various local hospitals in Gaza, providing clothing, food and water to the thousands displaced. You can contribute a mere £20 towards buying an electric generator to improve the lives of the patients.

A massive 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck the Caribbean nation of Haiti in January 2010. The extent of the devastation was so huge that thousands of people had died in the disaster, leaving many injured. The earthquake was the worst quake in over two centuries hitting the south of the capital Port au Prince.

Historically Haiti is described as being not a developed nation; a city fi lled with slums and poorly constructed houses. According to reports the aftermath of the earthquake had virtually destroyed everything including homes, government buildings, offi ces and hotels. It was estimated that a million people were left homeless with people still living on the slums or in makeshift camps.

A local TV presenter was one of few eye witnesses, she told reporters:

“I saw a lot of people

crying for help, a lot of

buildings collapsed, a lot

of people were without

help, people bleeding….

I didn’t see any emergency

services; the people at the

neighbourhood were trying

to help each other…”

(BBC News)

Unfortunately at this present moment of time there are hospitals that are still struggling to cope with the large number of injured people. The country is still in a big dilemma as the lack of clean water raises the fear of a public health crisis.

Minhaj Welfare Foundation initiated its emergency relief for the victims of Haiti focusing at food, clean water, shelter and medical care. MWF is to focus on self development projects, which will assist those aff ected in the long term specifi cally looking at Health and Education. MWF is working in partnership with joint emergency charity forums to ensure the funding is allocated in the key areas of work.

Haiti is considered to be the poorest country in the western hemisphere; you can contribute towards rebuilding this shattered area.

Kashmir Earthquake – MWF 5 Years After The DisasterOctober 2005 will remain on the minds of many Pakistani’s especially those from the Kashmir region. Many thousands of people lost their lives, with more reported to have been severely injured from the earthquake. Unfortunately for the people aff ected, they were not equipped to deal with natural disasters due to the lack of resource available. The severity of the disaster destroyed schools and hospitals in various cities, towns and villages.

It was in this very worrying time that hundreds of volunteers showed courage in helping their fellow country men/women. The volunteers of Minhaj Welfare Foundation were amongst the fi rst NGO’s to have presence in the region where the earthquake struck. Immediate action was taken to implement relief eff orts by establishing short term projects and then with a goal to convert them into long term and sustainable projects. Since the disaster struck 5 years ago, MWF has spend 25 crore rupees (£2,000,000) in the infrastructure and rebuilding of these areas.

Overall plan of projects within Muzfrabad, Patika and Chakoti:

Muzzafarabad• Educational and vocational centres

• Self sustainability projects

• Minhaj Free Dispensary including free medical surgeries for the underprivileged.

• The initiation of Min haj Model School, fi rstly the establishment of a Primary school and then the intention to build a Secondary school.

• Involving local people by creating jobs and livelihood.

Chakoti• This is a very small village at the end of Kashmir, on the borders,

• The village has a population of 10,000.

• There is great importance of education in this area of the world.

• MWF has initiated various projects; Minhaj Model School (Primary), Medical Dispensaries

• There is at least 1500 sq yard of area that MWF is hoping to establish various projects. MWF aspires to increase the area of work by building a small hospital and a secondary school.

Patika• Minhaj Model School has been initiated for Primary level; hopefully the

next stage of building work is to begin soon focusing atsecondary level.

• Abdul Qadoos Awan, area co-ordinator has said there has been great investment on the purchase of more land.

Kyrgyzstan - thousands displaced from their homesThe UN refugee agency distributed aid in Uzbekistan to tens of thousands of refugees who had fl ed violence in the southern areas of neighbouring Kyrgyzstan. The Uzbekistan government believes that more than 100,000 had crossed the border.

The Uzbek authorities had distributed tonnes of aid, including tents, plastic sheeting for shelter, blankets and other relief items. The government provided medical care and meals to the ethnic Uzbek refugees, some 90 per cent of whom were women and children.

The people in the refugee camps received medical attention in addition to hot meals and water was provided.

There are more than 50 sites hosting refugees in the border provinces of Andijan, Ferghana and Namangan. Some refugees are staying in schools, while an unknown number have found shelter with host families.

Several refugees said they were grateful for the help, but they wished to return home once the situation stabilized in Kyrgyzstan.

It is estimated that more than 300,000 people were displaced inside Kyrgyzstan, including 40,000 with urgent shelter needs.

In June of 2010, Al-Farghana in conjunction with MWF supported the emergency relief eff orts by encouraging people to donate clothing to the people of Kyrgyzstan. After close discussions with coordinators based in the UK, MWF is hoping to initiate a Winter Project as Kyrgyzstan sets to face more worrying times.

Collective MarriagesFor many the joy of starting a new life is not a problem, there isn’t any cultural hindrance or pressure from society. A man and a woman who simply wish to begin a new family seems to be a very formal procedure. However there are countries due to cultural and traditional practices that are unable to follow this simple procedure.

Cultural confusions have meant the families of ‘to be brides’ remain in the utmost of tragic situations of not marrying of their daughters. The woman remains without a partner in her life leading her to take her own life.

Minhaj Welfare Foundation was the fi rst NGO to initiate a project such as ‘Collective Marriages’ in Pakistan. Ever since the inauguration of the congregational marriage project fi ve years ago, 429 couples have got married. The burdens of under privileged families have been relieved by MWF yet again in this unique project.

Collective marriages have also been arranged in other cities, creating a nationwide frenzy. There is an evaluation process before the marriage of any couple takes place, expert and senior members of MWF assess the case of the family. Mentioned below is the detail of what is provided to each couple:

The marriages of 429 couples have been arranged by Minhaj Welfare Foundation. The total cost of one marriage is £1000; so far £460,000 has been spent on this project.

The fi rst thing that strikes anyone about education is knowledge gain. Education gives us the knowledge of the world around us. It develops in us a perspective of looking at life in a broader sense. It helps us build opinions and have points of view on everything in life.

Education is important because it equips an individual with all that is needed to make our dreams come true. Education opens doors of brilliant career opportunities, a better future, and a future worth living.

MWF holds education as a key to success, a key to many avenues in the international development world. It is the harsh reality of world that we live in but we have to acknowledge the lack of education and pursuit of knowledge has led to many confl icts, bloodshed and ignorance. Education plays an important role in the development of not just a child but an entire nation creating job opportunities and prosperous future.

Minhaj Welfare Foundation is one of the leading NGO’s in south Asia that is focusing on education. MWF has introduced a vast educational project across Pakistan in the early 90’s; the aim was to build primary, secondary schools, IT colleges and universities. In the space of 15 years, MWF has established over 600 educational institutes with thousands of students, both male and female going through the educational process. Currently there are over 150,000 students approximately who are part of the Minhaj Education Society. MWF covers the educational expenditures of at least 25% underprivileged students. The school books are provided to these students free of cost.

The Total cost of this project since its establishment:

48 crores and 5 lacs has been spent, this is equivalent £4,200,000.

How has this been benefi cial?

Part of MWF’s vision for the future is to provide long term and sustainable projects for the under developed sector in the third world. Thousands of people who have graduated through the various educational institutes of MWF are now working as teachers, lawyers and in governmental offi ces.

Education - a key to success

Donate £25 to sponsor a student

The Aghosh project is an orphanage based in Lahore, Pakistan which will care for 500 children. The majority of the children have lost both parents in natural disasters, but some have living parents who are unable to care for them.

As human beings when we see a little boy or girl desperately in need of help the natural reaction is to go out and give them a helping hand. The world that we live in prevents us from showing commitment in helping these children. Our commitment is only to ourselves and the society that we live in; helping only our family and friends. We are often left wondering ‘how and why we can help?’ these strangers who might speak a diff erent language, come from a diff erent cultural background or are completely alien to the world.

Helping or assisting an orphan child is not just cost eff ective, it is a natural instinct. Minhaj Welfare Foundation initiated the Aghosh project soon after the Kashmir earthquake in 2005, this was a pilot project to provide and cater for the welfare of 50 children aff ected by the earthquake.

One of the old Aghosh students Umer Aziz Khan, originally from Kashmir, tells us of his journey to Aghosh:

“After the disaster of 2005, theft and looting was widespread. One evening a thief came to my father and demanded money from him, my father gave him the money, the thief was not satisfi ed he killed my father. We are a big family, I have 4 brothers and sisters, and my mother was not the same after my father was murdered. My relatives told us about the Aghosh project in Pakistan, me, my brothers and sisters got entry into Aghosh. I successfully completed my O levels, and my dream is to eventually go to the famous Al Azhar University in Cairo. Aghosh provided me with an opportunity, I never once felt lonely and deprived of love. I will never be able to pay back Aghosh for their support”.

Aghosh is a multi complex building with state of the art rooms, excellent play areas, onsite medical staff , canteen and full time carers for the children. The 5 multi storey building is coming towards its second phase of building work. MWF is hoping with the generous donation of its donors, that it can offi cially open the doors of Aghosh for the 500 children.

Hope for the children of Aghosh?

• A high standard education from primary until graduation in university.

• A better future, with the prospect of having a good career in various sectors of work.

• The donor will see the diff erence the sponsorship makes.

• Benefi ts of supporting this project.

• We believe in 100% goes towards the cause and in this 100% goes to this unique project.

• The child who will reside in Aghosh will get the best care: home, food, school and medicine.

• You can visit it yourself and see the work with your own eyes.

• You get the latest update.

How much has been spent in this project so far?

15 crore is equivalent to £1,500,000.

Whatever you have, put it to the side and every month you can donate towards this project.

Aghosh – orphan care home

Donate £2000 towards a unit

Minhaj Welfare Foundation has established 107 free medical dispensaries and health centres providing 5 million patients with free medical checkups and medicine. Approximately 2 lacs (£2000) is spent annually on this project with 3.5 crore (£250,000) being already spent within the span of 15 years.

Free Eye SurgeryScientifi c studies have shown that blindness and sight problems are linked with poverty. Pakistan is amongst the most impoverished and poor countries in the world, with an extreme number of people hit by poverty. Over one million people are estimated to be blind in Pakistan, with thousands of children refused education due to their sight. This seems to be an ever growing problem for those seeking a bright future.

Those individuals who receive further surgery have regular checkups to assure the treatment is properly treated.

How much has been spent so far?1 crore and 15 lacs which is equivalent to £100,000.

Free Medical Camp – LahoreMWF throughout the year establishes various medical camps within under developed areas of Pakistan. MWF has set up numerous camps throughout rural areas of Lahore in which thousands of people were treated for Free Hepatitis B Test, Blood Grouping, and Vaccination Hepatitis B Test. Treatment of such diseases are vital especially in Pakistan however due to the lack of income the majority of people can simply not aff ord to pay for medication.

Minhaj Children’s Complex – GujranwalaThis project is in its fi nal stages of building work, the building itself consists of three storeys. There will be an offi cial opening of the complex once it is completed.

Minhaj Children’s Hospital – PakpatanThe long awaited Minhaj Zacha Bacha (Children’s) hospital which was initiated three years ago has now been completed. This is a three storey building which consists of 14 rooms and 40 beds for the patients. A lift is also facilitated for patients. Over 1 Korar rupees has been spent on this project. There is still a fi nancial defi cit of over 35 Lak rupees outstanding which will not allow us to fully operate this project. This amount is required to purchase medical facilities and supplies to ensure effi cient service is provided to the patients.

Minhaj Medical ComplexAn American doctor, Dr Fida Hussain has donated his land which consists of 9 kanal and 18 marla. This vast land is located in Nanak Poor, Khanewal and will be converted into a Medical Hospital; it will legally come under an MWF project. MWF acknowledges the trust shown by Dr Fida Hussain to carry this project. The project will represent the wide spectrum of MWF’s work throughout the third world.

Ambulance ServiceThousands of people lose their lives due to inadequacy of ambulances or the number of them. MWF has established ambulances in 25 cities, it recently launched its service in Gujranwala in the Wandu Area. In addition Ambulances are operating in Gujrat, Mian Chanun, Waziabad, Gujar Khan, Jehlum, Rawalpindi, Multan, Sialkot, Abbotabad, Muzaff arabad, Kotali (Kashmir), Karaghi and other areas

BangladeshMinhaj Welfare Foundation in November 2009

began a Winter Food Project providing people

of rural areas of Bangladesh with food and

water. MWF has actively been working in cities

such as Dhaka, Chittagong, and Syhlet for the

past fi fteen years. It has established Educational

projects alongside short term projects focusing

mainly on education.

There is great importance shown towards

improving the education of a child.

Unfortunately countries such as Bangladesh

rank way below the table of illiteracy and there

is much work required in helping this. MWF

feels that a specifi c project on education will

help the lives of children providing them with a

more promising future.

In recent years it has provided emergency

relief aid to the victims of Nargas, a huge

disaster in Bangladesh, which killed and injured

many people. MWF provided food, water and

temporary shelters for the people aff ected by

the hurricane. Hopefully through short term

and sustainable projects, MWF can help bring

change to lives of many impoverished people

in society.

“There is great importance

shown towards improving

the education of a child.”

Please donate £300 for a classroom every

year in Bangladesh.

The journey of one man’s wishIf you search for Kitere on the map you will be astonished to fi nd out that it is a remote village next to the Tana River, a small village situated between Garsen and the Tana River district. There resides a hopeful individual named Iddi who like many others wants prosperity for his small community. He has been long yearning for someone to bring change into this small Kenyan village.

Shakil was that somebody who was about to bring joy on the faces of so many Kiterians and the journey began with the reconstruction of a new roof for the place of worship for the villagers who only had their faith left to cling onto. Shakil noticed a small building next to the place of worship; he asked regarding the building and was told that it was a school. The school only had 10 students who sat the majority of their lessons without proper lighting and with a part time teacher who could not aff ord to teach because he had to earn his income from his farm. Mr Iddi and the entire village of Kitere were blessed to have an individual such as Shakil and his friends with such an intriguing endeavour.

The following projects were initiated:

• Repair of the roof and the wall of the centre.

• Installation of solar panels for the school ensuring that lighting is provided for the children for them

to excel in their education.

• To fund the expenditure of the school, providing the students with one

full time teacher and one meal per day.

Since its establishment 6 years ago there are now 200 students both boys and girls who are pursuing full time education. A water well, with the help of donations, was also dug next to the school to provide clean drinking water for the villagers and the students. This has bought a drastic change into the daily lives of the villagers considerably.

In addition to the education and solar panel projects, one of the members of the village donated 4 acres of land to the school. The main priority is to convert the land into a farm for cultivation and subsequently cutting the costs of food by providing the students food from the farm. A pump has been installed to pump water out of the Tana River.

The village which was known to very little is now on the map, the village receives many visitors due to its instant success of the various projects initiated. The students graduated from the school have aspirations to run similar projects in the village and improve the economic situation in their village.

Minhaj Welfare Foundation in conjunction with Mr Shakil, the co-ordinator for the Kenyan project, would like to invite you to help rebuild a shattered village and improve the daily lives for the people of Kitere.

How often have we seen or heard that countries in Africa are struggling, poverty is at its highest, famine is common, killable diseases are widespread and people taking their own lives because they cannot face the diffi cult road ahead. Is this the world we want to see? As human beings we are obliged to help our fellow brothers and sisters irrespective of race, colour or creed.

Minhaj Welfare Foundation created a link with a gentleman from Nigeria called Husseni, an average worker from Madagali, Adamawa State in North East Africa in October 2009. MWF began work on assessing the viability of working in the village of Madagli, it appointed Husseini as a Co-ordinator and soon initiated

its Winter Food Project.

The people had never witnessed such a project; the joy was evident as Husseini travelled many kilometres to send MWF an email expressing the gratitude of the tribal leaders and the people from the village.

Part of MWF’s Education for the third World project is to ensure the sustainability in charitable work in under developed areas; MWF has initiated an Education Program to provide a better future for the children of Madagali and their families.

The schools are run through fi nancial backing of the local community and the monthly fees of the children. The students contribute at least £10 at the end of the month which covers the teacher’s salary and general maintenance

of the school.

The four schools are:1 Hayat School has 59 students: 32

students (age between 7 – 15) and 27 students (age between 16 – 20)

2 Nurudeen School has 68 students: 30 students (age between 7 - 15) and 38 (age between 16 – 20)

3 Diddimata School has 47 students: 17 students (age between 20 – 35) and 30 students (age 36 – 60)

4 Professor Abba Academy has 72 students: 41 students (age between 7 - 15) and 31 students

(age between 15 – 20)

How can you helpEducation is a vital factor in the development

of a child’s future, however, if there are

hindrances which prevent a child from gaining

the right education then subsequently he/

she will be lured into the gloom and doom of

social anarchy. The furniture project is an ideal

starting curve in the development of a social

wellbeing of the thousands of students of

Nigeria. The project will provide them with the

equal opportunity of studying with comfort

and will create an incentive for them to learn.

The school will eventually become for him/her

a stepping stone for a brighter future.

• Provision of 70 desks and 250 chairs

• Providing the schools with books and pens.

“MWF requires your help

in ensuring that the

furniture and books reach

the small village of Madagli

and bring about change to

the lives of the children”

SomaliaThere are numerous regions within Somalia that fall way beneath the poverty line. Most of the indigenous community is left deprived of the basic requirements leaving the vast public in great shock.

Minhaj Welfare Foundation wants to restore lost hope within a region that has suff ered greatly in the past decade. The projects will concentrate on providing long term opportunities for the people of three regions focusing on Education, Water and Sanitation and long term sustainability projects. This particular project deals with providing an opportunity for the people of Somalia to stand on their own two feet and become a beacon of hope for others to follow.

MWF is in constant coordination with its team in Somalia in establishing the following projects;

1. Orphans’ Sponsorship

a. Orphanage Centre: This will provide housing, meals, education and onsite medical checkups for 100 orphans. Unfortunately due to some of the raw material being extremely expensive, we are looking at diff erent avenues of completing this project. We must not forget the calibre of such a project and the positive impact it will have for the children of the Ceelasha district, Benadir Region.

b. General Orphan Sponsorship: There are many orphans in Somalia that are being looked after by guardians or relatives, they have to face the diffi cult task of supporting their own children and the orphan child. You can help MWF in this unique project and sponsor an orphan for just £25 per month. At the end of the academic year, all those that have sponsored will receive a detailed report of the child’s progress.

2. Water Tanker: (Sigalow District - Hiran Region)

This traditional method of transporting goods will allow for poor families to generate income for themselves. It is estimated to generate over £100 monthly income for the families which can easily cover monthly expenses of 6 to 7 members of a family. However peculiar it might seem but a cart on two tyres led by a donkey is a good source of income. One water tanker costs £500, please donate generously towards this project and see the drastic change it brings to the lives of many people.

3. Shallow Water Wells: (Qoryoley District - Lower Shabelle Region)

Water and sanitation is amongst MWF’s key projects this summer, as many people are deprived of one of the most essential requirements for a human being. The lifetime of the well is for twelve years and it is estimated to provide over 3000 people water daily. This project costs £1500, majority of which will be paid to workers and the material.

Donate £1500 to build a well

Charity - creating a safer worldThe international work of various Muslim charity organisations has been

aff ected by acts of terrorism and they have faced many challenges which have

obstructed them to deliver their services to the needy. There have been many

eff orts to ensure the creditability of charity and ensuring that the charity’s

resources are not used to fund or support terrorism.

Minhaj Welfare Foundation (MWF) remains involved in ensuring the credibility

of the charity and the public’s trust in their work. MWF takes all the necessary

steps to ensure its activities are not misinterpreted, as a charitable organisation

we ensure that all our activities are open and transparent.

The Founder of Minhaj Welfare Foundation, Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri recently

issued a fatwa, a religious edict against terrorism in any form or manifestation. The

edict gained wide public interest throughout the world, attracting in particular

international NGO’s who unfortunately face the diffi cult task of carrying out

activities or projects in areas where terrorism is high.

This ruling states clearly that any support for terrorism is regarded as disbelief in

Islam hence MWF is committed to ensure that this message reaches the public

who trust MWF as well as the civil society. MWF remains vigilant in order to ensure

that the charity’s resources are not used to fund or support terrorism.

The aforementioned goals are an overall focus of MWF which coincide with the

UN’s Millennium Development Goals of eradicating poverty by the year 2015.

1. Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger

2. Achieve universal primary education

3. Promote gender equality and empower women

4. Improve maternal health

5. Ensure environmental sustainability

6. Develop a global partnership for development

The following key factors guide us in our work:

• To alleviate poverty throughout the third world by developing long term projects in underdeveloped regions of the world.

• To advance in Humanitarian projects focusing at three key elements of welfare activity; Education, Health and General Welfare

• To infi ltrate the concept of welfare as part of society and not a mere terminology that appears instantaneously whenever a disaster occurs

• To advance education amongst the deprived in society focusing in particular for orphans and those who come from economically deprived areas

Minhaj Welfare in the UKAs demonstrated in the third world and in underdeveloped regions, MWF remains focused in providing Education, Health and General Welfare to the millions of impoverished people in society.

We believe that the beauty and importance of charity begins from home. Irrespective of colour, creed or religion Minhaj Welfare Foundation continues forth in raising the awareness of community cohesion and providing a secure welfare society.

MWF UK Projects MWF supports its UK initiative program to improve public understanding of the underdeveloped world.

MWF has highlighted the work it’s done in the charity sector and at the same time ensuring both local and national issues have been answered to the requirement of the young generation.

MWF has arranged various activities and projects in the UK. These can be categorized into three diff erent types.

Overnight fl ight

You will have the opportunity to explore the surrounding areas

Huangyaguan Great Wall, located in the south mountain area of Jixian County in Tianjin, was originally constructed in the North Qi Dynasty over 1,400 years ago. It was retrofi tted in the Ming Dynasty under the charge of General Jiguang Qi. The whole part of Huangyaguan Great Wall is about 42 kilometres long constructed along the mountain ridge with an altitude of 736 metres. It has 66 watchtowers, 52 of which were guard towers and the remaining 14 were beacon towers. Huangyaguan is a national AAAA scenic area famous for its “Grand, Precipitous, Wonderful and Graceful” scenery. It was named as the best of the ‘Ten Scenic Spots of Tianjin’ in 1990.

Through the heavens ladder, leaning against a mountain slope with an almost 90-degree gradient, this is the way to the Watching Beijing and the Fairy Maiden Towers. Stretching upwards along the steep mountain cliff , the narrowest part is just half a metre wide. It is like a ladder that leads into the heavens.

Jinshanling - Located about eight kilometres (fi ve miles) southeast of the Bakeshiying Township in Luanping County in Hebei Province, the Jinshanling Great Wall is the best preserved part of the Great Wall with many original features. It starts from the Wangjinglou Tower in the east and ends at Longyukou in the west and stretches about 10 kilometers (six miles).

Bus out to Gubeiko then follow the wall back to Jinshanling passing remnants dating back to the Qing Dynasty.

The fi rst section of the wall was built during the Northern Qi Dynasty (550 – 557). Centuries later, General Xuda ordered to rebuild it in the early Ming Dynasty (1368 – 1644). The defensive capability of the wall was enhanced by adding more stones. When Qi Jiguang was appointed the chief commanding offi cer of Ji Garrison (one of the eleven garrisons in Ming Dynasty), he laid another line of brick wall beside the original one, thus forming the unique Gubeikou double-lined Wall.

Drive to Jianjou in the morning

Mutianyu Great Wall winds 1.4 miles through lofty mountains and high ridges, many sections of which are made of granite. The unique structure makes the wall almost indestructible. It measures 23 to 26 feet high and four to fi ve yards wide. Both of the wall’s inner and outer sides have parapets to defend against enemies coming from the two sides. Some parapets are saw- tooth shaped instead of the regular rectangular form. Below the parapets, there are square embrasures the top of which are designed in an arc structure, diff erent from the traditional round embrasures.

With opportunity to see the Forbidden City & visit the markets.

Lying at the centre of Beijing, the Forbidden City, called Gu Gong in Chinese, was the imperial palace during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Now known as the Palace Museum, it is to the north of Tiananmen Square. Rectangular in shape, it is the world’s largest palace complex and covers 74 hectares. Surrounded by a six metre deep moat and a ten metre high wall are 9,999 rooms. The wall has a gate on each side. Opposite the Tiananmen Gate, to the north is the Gate of Divine Might (Shenwumen), which faces Jingshan Park. The distance between these two gates is 960 metres, while the distance between the gates in the east and west walls is 750 metres.

on charitable projects to support the development of

orphans.

This is one of the highest dives in the country; most

others jump from 10,000ft.

WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO?

You will have to raise £400 through sponsorships from

your friends, relatives and associates.

It may feel like a huge fi gure but you will be given

techniques.

Five females from various parts of the

UK came together for a memorable

experience, to jump 15,000 ft. The girls all

of whom raised a substantial amount to

their relief in jumping. Sadia from Oldham

told us that her family encouraged her to

do the jump; she got the backing from

friends as well. After her exciting jump,

she was asked whether or nor she will do

Challenges UK and overseas

Seekers -a path to guidanceMinhaj Welfare Foundation sponsored new initiatives such as the seekers event during late October 2009 and early March 2010. Seekers is an educational forum for students which has been established by the Muslim Youth League UK (MYL UK). Through engaging events and seminars, Seekers aims to address the latest issues facing Muslim students and general society today.

The fi rst of the seekers event was a series of lectures in October and November focusing at Creation of Man: An analysis of Quranic concept of creation and modern embryology. The event attracted a wide array of both students and admirers of this debated topic which has been highlighted for centuries.

Representatives of MYL UK gave detailed presentations using extracts and examples from the Quran and modern day science. The audience was then given an opportunity to ask questions to the guest speakers. The lectures took place in the following on two diff erent occasions:

University of London, Birmingham City University, Sheffi eld Hallam and University Manchester Metropolitan

Muslim contributions to civilization

There is great debate currently going on in relation to the wide gap between Muslims and the west. Unfortunately misconceptions and distortions have portrayed the religion of Islam as an evil faith. Contrary to the common thought, Islam and Muslims in particular have played a key part to the rise and shine of society and civilization. Seekers alongside MYL UK in conjunction with Minhaj Welfare Foundation held a series of lecture in March 2010. The series of lectures were to highlight Muslim contributions to civilization. The audience shared their thoughts in how mainstream thought and idea has alienated Islam for the truth. An example of modern Spain remains embedded in the minds of many, as for centuries Europe witnessed the prosperity of its own economy and well being from the failures and darkness of previous years.

Seekers and MYL UK once again arranged informative and inspiring lectures to both Muslims and non Muslims. The lectures were organised in the following lecture theatres:

Sheffi eld Hallam University, Westminister University, Birmingham City University and University of Manchester

‘Islamic Perspectives Series 2010’

There has been a widespread of Islamphobia throughout the world. The lack of knowledge and ignorance shown by a minority of hard headed people has distorted the true picture of Islam. This has led to many young British Muslims growing up in the UK confused with the core teachings of their faith. It has aff ected and consequently radicalised the minds of many vulnerable British Muslims

Minhaj-ul-Quran International UK arranged a seminar at the Houses of Parliament to discuss the reasons why extremist and radical elements exist in Britain and how we can tackle it.

Minhaj Welfare Foundation sponsored a series of lectures for the British youth ‘Islamic Perspective Series 2010. Hussain Mohi ud din Qadri was the main speaker for all four events. The fi rst event was at the Queen Mary, University of London, the guest speaker explored ways in tackling radical ideologies.

Hundreds of British youth collectively gathered in their respective areas to listen to Hussain Mohi ud Din Qadri shed light on topics involving the Youth. The modern aspects of religion have led people to dissociate themselves from society, distancing themselves from mainstream public. The guest speaker passionately addressed the audience to remain neutral in the Islamic faith and not to allow the actions of some to degrade the status of the religion.

MWF sponsored the following four events:London - Islamic Political System

Sheffi eld - Spiritualism & Materialism

Birmingham - Socialism, Capitalism and Islam

Bradford - Issues aff ecting the Ummah

Jihad HijackedIt will not be a surprise to anyone to learn of the great misconceptions that are held by many regarding some key aspects of Islam. Presently due to the rise of individuals massacring innocent civilians, irrespective of their religion, in the name of Jihad, has deeply confused the image of Jihad.

Thus, Muslims who understood the true concept of Jihad were immensely depressed to see the message of the extremists being presented as Islam. Muslims and the wider community were crying out for the true Message of Islam and in particular the true concept of Jihad to be presented so that Islam can be diff erentiated from the acts of the terrorists.

To carry out this crucial role Minhaj Welfare Foundation has been active in the past year. The Fatwa against terrorism launched by Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri was a ground breaker and demolished the foundations of the extremist ideology. This Fatwa alone revolutionised the image of Islam in the world and particularity in the West, overnight. Months after the launch of the Fatwa in London, the world media is still buzzing with references to the Fatwa.

Minahj Welfare Foundation sponsored an MYL UK event at the Bradford Hilton Hotel titled ‘JIHijackAD’. The aims of the conference were to highlight the fact that the concept of Jihad had been hijacked by extremists and terrorists; and to present the true Islamic concept of Jihad to the world. The guest speaker for the conference was Hassan Mohi ud Din Qadri, PHD student at the University of the Arab League, Cairo.

The conference attracted over 700 youngsters who sold out the much anticipated event within minutes.

There were performances on the night by the popular group Mecca2Medina and soloist Hamza Robertson.

A presentation of Minhaj Welfare Foundation was given by Adnan Sohail. He touched on the importance of international development in the third world. He later encouraged the audience to take practical steps in assisting the poorer nations.

It all started in November in Bradford as MWF literally was on the road as thousands of people from Bradford, Woking, High Wycombe, Nottingham and Nelson turned up in their respective cities to celebrate a night of great entertainment.

BRADFORDBradford was the fi rst city to host and kick start this unique tour to raise funds for the Aghosh project. Over 500 people, male and female, young and old crowded the Kashmir Centre in Bradford.

The main highlight of the evening event was the mesmerising ode in Praise of the Beloved, the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him), by renowned Nasheed Artist Milad Raza Qadri. Milad was the leading artist in all of the events. He has travelled throughout the world and has been very supportive of MWF’s projects.

There was a presentation of MWF’s activities by Shams ur Rahman. The audience were in tears after watching the 8 minutes long documentary.

Milad, after popular demand, came back onto the stage to perform one of his tracks, He was joined by hundreds of kids on stage. He was also joined by Adnan Sohail, Project Manager of MWF who charismatically initiated the fundraising. Can you believe all donations made to MWF go to the cause? The money raised was in support of the new Orphanage building, Aghosh. It did not stop there, a kind artist donated a painting to MWF and said that it could be auctioned and the money pledged will go towards the orphanage. It was unbelievable, Bradford had never seen anything like this before, and as the count went back and forth eventually it was sold to a sister from Halifax.

Charity nasheed event – an evening of inspiration (Aghosh)Report by Event organiser: Mohammad Kadir

HIGH WYCOMBEIt was the fi rst time ever in the history of High Wycombe, that a Charity Nasheed Event of this kind was arranged in the Swan Theatre. In the past it has played host to pantomimes, music concerts and other events, but this was the fi rst of its kind. The theatre was fi lled within in a space of an hour; people from Central London, Luton and Bedford attended this unique event.

Milad Qadri was joined by a famous artist from Pakistan, Afzal Noushai, a famous reciter of traditional poetry. The hearts of listeners were enriched by the melodious poetry. A surreal insight to poverty under the name Poverty Over, a project of MWF was relayed, thankfully without any hiccups. Several youngsters stood up and volunteered to support the Poverty Over project. The rest of the audience were in awe of the short trailer as they saw the dark reality of the world that they live in. It was an excellent once again, as both youngster and elder pledged and donated towards MWF.

The most intriguing thing was that several people from the community came to me and asked if they could arrange similar events. One of the councillors of High Wycombe applauded the eff orts of MWF as he was amazed that within a short span of time, so much has been achieved.

The events get better every time.

NOTTINGHAMI did not know what to expect from this event in Nottingham, I was told by the sister arranging the event that she has established a Nasheed Academy to develop further the young talent and provide them an opportunity of future success as an artist.

So the young and talented group from the NNA began the proceedings and I have to say these children really have talent. It was great entertainment for the parents as they witnessed their children face the daunting task of performing on stage. We had another up and coming artist from Burnley, Abdul Jabbar, he was little known but as he performed people did not want him to stop.

The people of Nottingham collectively came forth to raise awareness of MWF and they kindly donated towards the Aghosh project. Adnan who was with me on all the events thanked sister Ishrat and the children who organised the event.

Nelson (One Passion, One Jazbah)MWF in conjunction with RMW organised for one evening only ‘One Passion, One Jazba’. The event celebrated the success, music and art has had in the sub continent. It was an evening full of inspiration and entertainment. What was more exciting and something which is not seen often was that the crowd who had fi lled the auditorium in the space of 10 minutes were electrifying.

This was the fi rst time that the performers were on stage together in Nelson in the newly built Ace centre. The event was sponsored by the local council; it meant that we could give the tickets away for free. I though this was an excellent gesture from RMW and MWF and making it a family event.

Tribute has got to go to the performers who performed continuously for four hours, I don’t think the crowd wanted to go home. The following guests performed on the night

Guests included:Shaykh Ahmed Tijani ben Omar (USA)

Milad Raza Qadri (Scotland)

Ashiq e Rasool (UK)

Romana Qureshi (UK)

Hamza Robertson (Manchester)

Abdul Jabbar (Nelson)

Husnain Hanif (Nelson)

MWF will be arranging more exciting events, if you want a similar event in your local town or you would like to arrange something similar then please contact us on info@mwfuk.org.

MWF gifts for the children of DerianWhen I fi rst came across the website of Derian and realised the unfortunate illnesses that some children were born with, I thought MWF should do something for these children. So one day prior to Eid celebration, we went to the Derian House and distributed gifts to the children. I was really struck by the introductory comments from their own website mentioned below. MWF realised that charity is not just based on providing money, but a simple gesture of smiling can also be considered as charity.

“making the most of every moment for every child whose moments will be all too few”

When we were children, it always seemed the best stories of childhood began, “Once upon a time” and ended, “they all lived happily ever after.”

Sadly for the children of Derian House and their parents, the reality is somewhat diff erent, and all too often, living happily ever after, is not to be.

For the parents of a child diagnosed as terminally ill, there can be no long term future, ......the planning of their child’s education, the milestones in their child’s life....... for who knows what tomorrow, next week, next year may bring. For them there is suffi cient challenge in coping with their child’s illness from one day to the next. For them, their children’s future is counted in smaller terms, sometimes in months or weeks, rather than years, in taking each day as it comes. For them, Derian House becomes an intrinsic part of that future.

Whilst their lives may be cut tragically short, we ensure that they lead as full and normal a life as possible by off ering them the optimum support to cope with their illness, along with the best possible medical care , and as much fun and laughter as they can pack into every single day...(www.derianhouse.co.uk).

The children and staff members wanted to thank the volunteers of MWF and in particular the children of Minhaj Educational Centre, Nelson, in gifting the presents to the children.

“making the most of

every moment for every

child whose moments

will be all too few”

Part of Minhaj Welfare Foundation’s challenges

within the UK is creating awareness of fair play

in sports and encouraging community cohesion

through various sporting activities. Minhaj Welfare

Foundation has sponsored a local junior football

team named PAAK United FC. The club was set up

almost 30 years ago in Nelson, Lancashire and has

developed itself as a good Football team. The club

now has diff erent categories of teams, in which great

focus is shown on the junior teams.

MWF commented on the

sponsorship of the junior team:

“We believe in supporting local

initiatives especially if it provides an

opportunity for children to show their

talent on the pitch as well getting

involved in positive activities.

We can help promote community

cohesion and allow young people

to participate in a sport

which they enjoy.”

SUMMER FOOTBALL TOURNAMENT: IN AID OF ORPHANS AROUND THE WORLD

Two tournaments were organized on the same weekend, one in Nelson, Lancashire and the other in London. The tournament was to raise awareness of MWF’s Orphan projects around the world. The fi rst ever tournament was a great success, some of the players showed great talent on the pitch. Who knows they might even have a chance in the next world cup.

Similar tournaments will be arranged throughout the UK, if you want to organise a similar tournament football or cricket then please get in contact with us on challenges@mwfuk.org.
