Community Testimonials
Playlist
in 1999 shaikh enrolled at the prestigious,world renowned, open-minded, liberal institute, darul uloom zakariyya
completing his hifz in 2002 continuing onto the alim course, Graduating in 2009, Shortly after, leaving for
1 year khuruj fi sabi’lillah travelling through india pakistan and bangladesh to name a few.
from a young age shaikh travelled to lead tarawee prayers to many countries as he matured his fiqr (Concern) has taken
him to over 40 countries. in 2011 Molana got married and migrated to the UK the following year, he served as a part-time imaam at masjid al-imaam bukhari until 2014. after settling into the
“masjid hub” of uk LEICESTER, Molana noticed in the outskirt areas there were no madrassa and masjid setup, upon further investigation, the affects were plagueing.shaikh raised awareness in the area and started the maktab, madrassa and musallah in his garage along with the effort of nabi (SAW) IN form of effort tabligh, which ,in 2014 and with the help of marhum Ashraf malawi and others he managed to secure the community centre for jumma prayers, and an old factory for madrassa, it became apparant, the zeal and desire was present in the community, Allah allowed molana to serve as the catalyst, in 2017 shaikh secured a retired car garage and began converting it to the masjid we all yearned for, in 2018 it was inaugarated
Fact : Hafiz saab Patel R.A had visited masjid muhammed when it was purchased and made dua for its acceptance, he commanded molana zakariyya to name the masjid “Masjid Zakaria” however, Our shy molana refused to share the same first name with the masjid and thus agreed on masjid Muhammed.
after shaikhs travel on khuruj fi sabilillah on the effort of tabligh, he noticed the dire poverty and abadonment of children of the last cilaphate were experiencing, they were not getting welfare or support that the local natives would receive, masjids were mainly in the citys and these community of peoples wern’t very welcome niether was it economically viable, the following year shaikh established Al-Ianah, under thurmaston educational trust, and opened its first office Opposite our hounarable teacher, Shaikh molana Adam Al Kauthari’s masjid jame leicester.
Al Ianah now has 2nd office on Evington road,it has fast become one of the fastest growing aid/islamic organisations in the midlands, till date Al I’anah has arranged over 350 events hosting Honourable Scholars, Speakers and Nasheed artists to bring warmth and unity to communities all accross the uk from portsmouth to glasgow, Where ever there is an event taking place thats benefiting the local or international community, Shaikh will always offer support either directly or through his team. shaikh is easily approachable through this website or any of the organisations he established.
shaikh currently for jumuah bayans and lectures through out the Uk, EU and further with his mission to serve humanity,
if you are a hafiz, Alim or any one who wishes to serve the ummah, Shaikh will always be supportive,and you can get in touch here
Naturally such efforts have created a curiosity in terms of who shaikh actually is or what the latest updates are, many requests are made for shaikh to attend talks or help arrange events or host other scholars and notable individuals or even huffaz who are looking to lead tarawi internationally. As a team member ive first hand witnessed how many amazing moments and objectives we were able to achieve but sadly we never got to showcase, this website should resolve that issue in future.
shaikh is also considered a doorway into bulgaria after building a masjid in plovdiv, more updates can be found on this website
regarding this amazing effort.Any individual looking to make effort of da’wa aid or even tours and holiday can contact us
this website is a token of gratitude and a gift to assist shaikh with his righteous effort, after knowing shaikh for 12 years on a personal, business and scholarly level, its my duty to serve him where efficiently beneficial for indeed those who carry the knowledge and character of our nabi are his inheritor, if you know a local scholar that is also zealous and passionate to serving his community and deen, we will be happy to offer our services and asssitance. iby talk less and say less and listen more , try to make it normal to repond with gestures instead of worded repsones controlling nodding so that each movement reciprocates with the speech
