The Aims
Brand Pattern
In 1997 a registered charity was founded with the purpose of providing prayer and educational facilities for Muslim families who resided in Astley Bridge area of Bolton. A small workshop was purchased in Ramsey street and converted to accommodate regular prayers and out of school education services. The ‘Masjid’ was established and given the name ‘Salaam’ by our late scholar Qari Ismail Samniwala, signifying the establishment as place of peace. Fast forward to 2021, the community has continued to grow with the charity now representing the interests of over 300 families, some of whom have lived in the Astley Bridge ward for well over 30 years. Over the years, a number of extensions and refurbishments were undertaken, including major structural updates in 2015 increasing prayer and educational capacity at the facility. Within short space of time, it was clear that the existing facility had been outgrown and in January 2016, a vacant 0.7 acre site on Blackburn road was purchased. With the purchase came new vision, and a broadening of services offered by the charity for members as well as the wider Astley Bridge family. History
“Your smile for your brother is a charity. Your removal of stones, thorns or bones from the paths of people is charity. Your guidance of a person who lost is charity.” – Prophet Muhammad, upon him be peace Our patrons hold various professions, such as lawyers, doctors, nurses, teachers in the local schools and local businesses. As proud Boltonians, many whom are 2nd or 3rd generation British, our members miss no opportunity to make someone smile and give back to the wider society is missed such as; Supporting our NHS with donations made by our community Providing support to the vulnerable and those shielding through the Covid pandemic Providing refreshments, and making our washroom facilities available to our fire fighters during the moorland scrub fires of 2018 Interfaith engagements & collaboration to focus on our shared common interests and challenges
vision is clear – developing contemporary building that can become a community hub for decades to come. In the current economic climate, we expect the cost of the total build inc internal furnishings to cost
the region of £3m. Through the local efforts from within our community, we have already raised £1m, leaving shortfall of £2m. Our aim is to start work in late 2022 with our intent being to complete the entire project by the end of 2025. This is significant aspiration but one that we are confident that we can achieve through not only the help of the Almighy but also the local community where we expect to secure the support of

Once built, we estimate that Masjid-e-Salaam will not need additional support to operate ongoing maintenance costs. Any shortfall should be covered from annual membership and ongoing local lillah donations. Charity Purifies A man once said to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him): “I have plenty of property, a large family, a great deal of money, and am a gracious host to my guests. Tell me how to conduct my life and how to spend (my money).” The Prophet replied: “Give (regular charity) out of your property, for truly it is a purifier, and be kind to your relatives and acknowledge the rights of the poor, neighbors and (those in need who seek your help).” High N’Worths £200k Dinners £75k Masjid Lillah Events £100k Gap Exists REQ Accelerate sale existing proporties (Masjid Ramsay St) We are working towards a year plan to raise £3.75m Lillah needed for New Build.
