Hadith Circles

We have been running a Hadith Circle daily after

every prayer for people attending the prayers and

home listeners. These circles help to learn more about

the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)’s teachings and his

rightly guided actions. We have had positive feedback

about this class, with many enthusiastic attendees.

Great news for those who would like to learn Arabic

Language. We are now offering absolutely free of charge

classes from basic to professional level taught by a seasoned

(25 years of experience) teacher for both male and female of

all age groups. Interested persons may contact on

Christian Union Visit

A group of Cambridge University students

from the Christian Union led by Stephen

Dimmock paid a visit to Cambridge

Mosque. They had an informal meeting

with Imam Muhammad Amir Karim and

asked many questions regarding the

Muslim faith and practice. They found

their visit a very exciting experience.

Finally after approximately a year of planning we had our open day at Cambridge District HQ

on Perne Road on 12th May 2018. A day of activities was organised with an Obstacle Course, Tile

painting, Lava Lamp making, Treasure Hunt and not to mention Mini-Crossbow making. The open day had been designed to give young beavers a taste of what sort of sessions will take

place but equally for parents to also get a feel and to become actively involved primarily by way

of volunteering; without volunteers there can be no Scout sessions so it is of paramount

importance to get parents involved and not to forget its rewardingly Fun…!

We actively are working our socks off behind

the scenes with County and District to get all

the relevant training and validation off training

so that we are able to open our doors to the

first ever Muslim Scout group in Cambridge.

The plan of action is to roll out the Beaver

colony (age 6-8) in September In Sha ALLAH

and then within a few months depending on

volunteers in place and the relevant training to

role out a Cubs & Scouts (age 8-10 & 10-14)

colony by 2018/2019.

I wish to thank all the volunteers whom have been involved with this project thus far and we

believe it’s a great initiative that many Muslim communities across UK have taken advantage off

and have benefited hugely (as I have witnessed first hand).

There is a lot more information available and a lot more to say about it but this is a brief outline

and if you wish to get involved in volunteering or simply wish your children to get involved

them simply get in touch, this is open for both Girls and Boys.

Kind Regards,

Zahyr

Message from Dr Shaykh Khaladi

Respected brothers and sisters we are going through a very delicate time of the history of Muslim Ummah. Unity and

brotherhood in Ummah has always been required and needed but now it is direly needed to address different critical

issues of Muslim Ummah. When we follow the commands of one God (Allah Subhanahu Taala), one Prophet

(Muhammad(SWS)), One book of guidance(Quran) and one Qibla so why do we not become one voice? Dear brothers

and sisters now we should forget our petty issues and think about the welfare of Muslim Ummah above race, colour

and sects. Allah says:

اب مع الص ه الل

إن

وا

م واصبب ريحك

ه

ذ

وا

And obey Allah and His Messenger, and do not dispute (with one another) lest you lose courage and your strength depart and be patient. Surely, Allah is with those who are As-Sabirin (the patient ones, etc.). (8.46)

Let’s be united and stand firm against the different challenges facing to Ummah and raise an effective voice

unanimously to solve the issues. JazakAllah Khairan, Dr.Shykh Khalidi
