Ladies Fundraising Event 22.05.11

Ladies Fundraising Event, Sunday 22 May 2011, Platinum Suite, Leicester.

Alhumdulillah, the Ladies Madressa Fund Raising event was a huge success, we offer our duaa’s and appreciation to ALLAH (SWT) for making the event such a success.

The afternoon started with an inspirational talk from Shaykh Muhummad Sindhi of Masjid Umar followed by a 3-course lunch and the opportunity to browse and buy from a variety of stalls. All the merchandise sold through the stalls was donated free of charge from local businesses and individual donors.  100% of all sales proceeds will be put towards the fund!

Over 1200 sisters visited the event during a very warm and sunny Sunday afteroon. Mash’ALLAH  from ticket sales, donations on the day, pledges and sales proceeds the sisters raised a staggering amount of funds for our project. Alhumdulillah this is an AMAZING sum of money from our sisters in Leicester and from afar.

The centrepiece on the day was a cake modelled in the shape of the Masjid and proposed extension, a sight to behold.  A very generous donation of £15,000 was received for the sale of the cake.

Everyone from Masjid Umar would like to take this opportunity to say ‘JazakALLAH Khayrhan’ to all sisters that attended the event, our generous donors and our committed volunteers for all their hard work in making the fund raising day a huge success.

We still have some way to go before we complete our project so we humbly request your continued Duaa’s and support throughout the remainder of the project.
