Community Outreach Projects

Abud-Darda (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, “Seek among your weak ones, for you are given provision and help only because of the weak amongst you.”
[Abu Dawud]

Islam is a complete way of life. Not only are we taught how to perfect our ibaadaat (acts of worship) and Mu’aashiraat (transactions, trade), but we are also taught mu’aamilaat (how to deal with people).

Here, at Darul Ilm we aim to help the community by running many different support programs and projects to assist wherever possible.

These include:

Street Collections

Homeless Feeds

*Postponed until further notice due to coronavirus pandemic

Upside Down 

Free Counselling Sessions

The Prophet (ﷺ) said:

“Never a believer is stricken with a discomfort, an illness, anxiety, a grief or mental worry or even the pricking of a thorn but Allah will expiate his sins on account of his patience”.

We all have ups and downs in life and sometimes we just need that extra little bit of support or help or that listening ear to get us through our tough times. If you are experiencing a rough patch then please don’t hesitate to come to see us.

We are open every Wednesday at 10 am. Free counselling by Apa Rina

*We also provide support to people who cannot read or write in filling out forms

Litter Collection

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Cleanliness is half of faith

It is very disappointing, and not to mention embarrassing, that we Muslims have a large population (27%) in Birmingham but our neighbourhoods are disastrously filthy and dirty. Where we live and stay reflects who we are as people. And that is why we say, ‘Enough is enough!’ No to fly-tipping sofas, refrigerators, mattresses etc. No to dumping takeaway leftovers, cartons and boxes etc. No to wasting food and drink and throwing them on the streets etc. The earth is a trust to us and we must take care of this trust entrusted to us by Allah.

For this very cause, Darul Ilm Birmingham has organised it’s very own group to clean its streets.

Ibn ‘Abbas said, “There are 360 joints and each of them owes sadaqah every single day. Every good word is sadaqah. A man’s helping his brother is sadaqah. A drink of water which he gives is sadaqah. Removing something harmful from the road is sadaqah.”

Do your bit by cleaning your neighbourhood whilst earning large amounts of reward by practising this beautiful Hadith. If we were all conscious of the rulings of Islam and we all worked collectively; each masjid, institute kept certain areas clean and tidy, then Birmingham would flourish.

Every first and third Friday of the month at 3 pm
