SHIFA MOSQUE RAMADAN APPEAL
WE URGENTLY NEED TO RAISE £1.25 MILLION TO ESTABLISH OUR MOSQUE
We’re a dynamic and diverse group of Muslims living in Crystal Palace...
And we’ve been organising Islamic events in the local area for years — talks, trips, classes, celebrations and so much more. Our community has grown a lot in recent years, and so this Ramadan, we’re asking for your help to establish Shifa Mosque.
Our vision is all about building genuine community, and we plan to make our area the best place to raise a Muslim family in London.
THE NEED IS URGENT - YOUR SUPPORT IS VITAL!
Local Muslims need a place to pray - there are no mosques in the area!
At least 11,000 Muslims live in the London Borough of Bromley, but its two mosques can only accommodate around 350 worshippers… A new mosque is badly needed!
There are no mosques in the neighbourhood of Crystal Palace or Anerley and local Muslims must travel to neighbouring boroughs of whose mosques are already oversubscribed.
We need to raise £750,000 by summer 2025 to buy the building.
We have found a beautiful building at an excellent price which offers amazing space for the prayers and community support and enrichment services.
The local community have already raised £50,000 towards its purchase, but the London property market moves fast, and we risk losing out if we don’t raise enough to buy it from the current owners (Prayer Centre Church of God) by summer 2025.
We will need to raise a further £500,00 to transform the space...
Into a thoughtfully designed place of worship, learning, and community.
Shifa Mosque will be a welcoming environment for people of all ages, backgrounds, and cultures. A contemporary interpretation of traditional Islamic design will focus on simplicity and sustainability, natural materials and a neutral palette, creating a calming atmosphere to enhance spiritual connection.
The communal kitchen will be a hub for gathering and nourishment, while the beautifully cultivated courtyard, filled with healing plants, will offer a serene retreat for reflection and interaction.
RAMADAN
"The Prophet ﷺ was the most generous amongst people, and he used to be more so in the month of Ramadan" (Bukhari)
Good deeds in Ramadan are amplified many times over!
The Prophet ﷺ said: “Whoever builds a mosque for the sake of Allah, Allah will build something far better for him in Paradise.”
He ﷺ also said: “Anyone who draws near to Allah during Ramadan by means of a voluntary good action is like soeone who performs one of the obligatory actions outside of it, and performing an obligatory action during it is equivalent to performing seventy obligatory actions at any other time.”
Sadaqah Jariyah: Build a mosque, earn endless blessings!
Sadaqah Jariyah is a charitable act, done for the sake of Allah, that benefits people in this life and the giver in the next.
Building a mosque is one of the most powerful acts of Saqadah Jariyah. As long as Muslims are benefiting from the mosque you’ve helped establish, then with Allah’s permission you will continue to be rewarded for it for generations to come!
"Sadaqah extinguishes wrong actions as water extinguishes fire"
This is an extremely powerful hadith from the Prophet ﷺ: sincere acts of sadaqah can wipe away our wrong actions!
We also know that Ramadan is a truly special time for seeking forgiveness and mercy. The Prophet ﷺ said: “When it is the month of Ramadan, the gates of mercy are opened, and the gates of Hell are locked and the devils are chained.”
