Who we are

We are building more than a building —
we are building a legacy.

The Nigerian Muslim Community (NMC) is bringing together families, professionals, students, and elders across Birmingham around a single shared ambition: to establish a thriving, self-sustaining Masjid, Madarasa and Community Centre — a beacon of worship, knowledge and service.

This is a faith-led project, built on sincerity and sustained by small, consistent contributions from people like you. Every brick, every class, every prayer offered here is an investment in this world and the next.

Our direction

Vision & Mission

The destination we are walking toward, and the work we do every day to get there.

Vision

Where we are going

A thriving, self-sustaining Masjid, Madarasa and Community Centre in Birmingham — a beacon of worship, knowledge and service that unites the Nigerian Muslim community and the wider Ummah, and stands as a lasting Sadaqah Jariyah for generations to come.

Mission

What we do, starting today

To establish and run a Masjid, Madarasa and Community Centre that strengthens faith, educates young and old, supports families, and empowers our community and our neighbours — built through small, consistent contributions and guided by sincerity, unity, transparency and accountability.

How we behave

Our Core Values

The non-negotiables. Every decision and every pound is measured against these.

إخلاص

Ikhlāṣ Sincerity

We do this for the sake of Allah alone. Every effort is an act of worship, seeking His pleasure — not recognition or status. We measure success by barakah and benefit, not ego.

أُخُوَّة

Ukhuwwah Unity

We are one body, despite our differences. The collective mission stands above personal, tribal or factional interests. We disagree with respect, and we decide together.

شفافية

Transparency Openness

Nothing is hidden; everything is open. Every pound raised and spent is recorded and reported to members. Decisions, meetings and finances are shared openly and regularly.

مسؤولية

Accountability Trust

We answer to Allah first, and to each other. Roles carry clear responsibilities, everyone is answerable for their part, and we honour our commitments and own our mistakes.

Khidmah — we serve everyone, Muslim and non-Muslim, member and stranger. Welcome — our doors are open to all backgrounds, ages and abilities.

Turning the mission into measurable targets

Our Five Pillars

01

عبادة Worship — Ibādah

A clean, accessible home for the five daily prayers, Jumuʿah, Taraweeh and the two Eids — a sanctuary in the heart of the city.

02

عِلم Education — ʿIlm

A weekend Madarasa for children (Qurʾān, Islamic studies, Arabic) plus classes and talks for adults and new Muslims.

03

أسرة Community & Family

Youth mentoring, family support and welfare, a warm welcome for new arrivals, and regular gatherings to mark Islamic occasions together.

04

أمانة Governance & Sustainability

Formally constituted under a founding resolution and written constitution, with elected leadership, dedicated accounts and transparent monthly reporting. Charity registration is in progress.

05

إرث Legacy & Growth

From interim rented space to permanent, owned premises — a self-sustaining institution that endures for generations, in shaa Allah.

Whoever builds a masjid for Allah, Allah will build for him a house like it in Paradise.

    Monthly donation support

    Manage or cancel your monthly donation

    Use Stripe’s secure portal to find and cancel a monthly donation. Stripe verifies the email address used when you donated by sending secure sign-in instructions.

    If the portal does not show every monthly donation, or you no longer use the same email address, contact masjidproject@protonmail.com. We will verify the donation before making changes. Never send card details, bank details or a Stripe sign-in link or verification code by email.

    How cancellation works

    1. Enter your donation email Use the email address entered when the monthly donation was created.
    2. Verify it is you Open Stripe’s private sign-in link or enter the one-time code it sends. Do not share either.
    3. Cancel the monthly donation Select the donation and follow Stripe’s steps. Stripe will show the date on which it ends.

    Important: Cancellation is scheduled for the end of the current monthly billing period. No new renewal is created after the monthly donation ends. Cancellation does not automatically refund a completed card payment, and a Bacs Direct Debit already submitted or processing may still complete.
