Inna Lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un Indeed, to Allah we belong and to Him we shall return
It is with deep sorrow that the Muslim Youth Foundation announces the passing of one of its founding members and long-standing trustees, Hajji Arshad Ahmed, who passed away this morning.
Hajji Arshad Ahmed was among the earliest pioneers who helped establish the Muslim Youth Foundation (MYF) over forty years ago. He dedicated his life to serving Islam and supporting the Muslim community in Manchester and across the UK. His sincere efforts, leadership, and vision helped shape the foundation and countless initiatives that continue to impact lives to this day.
He was a devoted husband to Balqees and a cherished father to Zahda, Anjum, Yasmin, Farouk, Amar, and Sahra.
We pray that Allah Almighty forgives his shortcomings, accepts his good deeds, grants him a place among the righteous in the highest ranks of Jannah, and brings comfort and patience to his loved ones.
Unfortunately the New Muslim group meeting will not be on this April due to Eid celebrations & the shake being unavailable. Our sincere apologies in advance and insha’Allah it will
Be back on in May. Please feel free to contact the office for any further information.
Alhamdulilah we are delighted to announce that Eid Al-Fitr will be Sunday 30th March
1st Prayer – 8:00am
2nd Prayer – 10:30am
Fitrana is £7 per person for each household and should be payed before the Eid prayer begins. Please visit our main office or masjid to make payment.
Please arrive early as we expect to be very busy and please be mindful of worshippers when entering and leaving the masjid, khair inshallah.
It was narrated that ‘Abdullah bin Sa’ib said:“I attended the ‘Eid prayer with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). He led us in offering the ‘Eid prayer, then he said: ‘I have finished the prayer. Whoever wants to sit (and listen to) the sermon, then let him sit, and whoever wants to leave, then let him leave.’”
As we reach the last 10 days of Ramadan Alhamdulilah the MYF will be conducting Tahajjud prayers beginning at 2:45am from tonight insha’allah Khair it will be approximately 1 hour followed by suhoor.
Let’s tighten up our belts as did he our beloved prophet(pbuh) and make the intention to stay up and make the most of these last precious nights seeking Laylat al-Qadr insha’allah (the night of power) May Allah SWT grant us this huge blessing.
‘Fitrana’ this year is £7 per person and should be payed before the Eid prayer. When paying online please leave a note indicating it is a ‘Fitrana’ payment, Thankyou (khair)
