Remember To Also Double Your Donations By Sharing Your Unique Code With 2 Friends
For several years, the vibrant community of Abingdon Muslims has felt the need for a permanent space to act as the hub for our spiritual and social activities; a space where we can worship in congregation, learn and teach about our religion and cultural heritage, exchange ideas, run social support and community service initiatives, and celebrate together. This vision has translated into the Abingdon Islamic Cultural Centre (AICC) project. Through AICC, we aim to galvanize the Muslim community in Abingdon and amplify our positive contribution to society. We aim to foster inter-faith harmony through open events and forge links with the wider Abingdon community regardless of race, religion, status, or belief.
Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said:
By donating, not only will you be contributing to this much needed place of worship, but this Sadaqah Jariyah will insha’Allah garner you spiritual rewards in this life and the next.
We have now reached a critical milestone for Abingdon Islamic Cultural Centre (AICC).
The property we have identified is now up for auction and will be sold the first week in December 2024. To seize this unique opportunity for our community, we urgently need your support to bid and win this auction.
The property is located in the town centre, close to two council car parks. This site, with a total floor space of around 2000 sq. ft over multiple floors, can accommodate approximately 150 worshippers for Salah and includes a dedicated praying space for sisters. It is also ideal for running Quran classes, diverse educational programs, and cultural activities.
We are fortunate to have brothers in the community with experience in planning and property negotiations who are actively stewarding this process.
How You Can Help: We are calling on our Muslim brothers and sisters to pledge interest-free loans (qarzai hasna) or direct donations. Your support is critical in helping us secure this property and ensuring it becomes a cornerstone of our community.
We need your support in raising the funds to purchase and convert this property into the Islamic Cultural Centre. Our target is to raise GBP 350,000 so that we do not lose this ideal location. We are currently £182,000 short of the target.
Please fill out the pledge form on this webpage, and we will get in touch with you to organize all the legal contracts. Together, we can ensure the future of our Islamic Cultural Centre.
