Please note that it is your responsibility to pay any difference. Once you have given your permission for us to do this on your behalf, there is no need for you to do anything else.Īll that is required is that you must be a taxpayer and that would have paid or will pay sufficient Income and/or Capital Gains Tax to cover all the Gift Aid claimed on all your donations in that tax year. When Albaseera Bristol Masjid receives a donation from a UK taxpayer, we're entitled to claim an amount of tax (calculated at the basic rate of income tax in that year) paid on that donation. Glorified are You, O Most Lofty and Most Honoured".Gift Aid does not cost you a penny more, but can add an additional 25p to every £1 you donate. We invoke Allah Almighty through His beautiful name of as-Salām in all our undertakings: "Lord! You are as-Salām and from You is peace. Those that share these sentiments are welcome with open arms to our age-old traditional form of worship and service. As citizens of the UK we are religiously party to agreements and covenants made by and on behalf of our great land. Our worship and service is pinned to the laws of our country. Without excessiveness, we endeavour to apply a balanced approach where necessity dictates use: without reason no tree is to be felled, nor an animal slaughtered or hurt. This excellence in service to the creation is furthered beyond humankind to the animal kingdom, and to our entrusted environment. We look to put into practice the age-old Sufi teaching of "whomsoever behaves excellently toward you, has behaved in the Sufi way". We look to invite our local and world community to appreciate and familiarise themselves with our faith, recognising that there is no force or compulsion in religious conviction. The service is our Jihad, our struggle, in this world. This is the Sufi path we adhere to, a path with an authentic unbroken chain of instruction from the Best of creation, the Beloved of Allah and Mankind, the Mercy for Mankind, Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him. We endeavour to manifest this worship through the service of His creation.

The measure of our worship is in taqwā - a fear and consciousness of our Lord. We recognise and worship Our Creator, the One, the Eternal, Who begot no one nor was He begotten, Who has none comparable to Him, the Lord of Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him. The Bradford Grand Mosque (BGM) mission is summed up in the simple yet eminent statement "Worship of the Creator Service of the creation."

"Worship of the Creator Service of the Creation."
