Building Brighter Futures - Transforming & improving Maktab through your support

The Maktab, today’s and tomorrow’s generation requires your help in enhancing our Deeni services for our children. Alhamdulillah, at Highfields, we are embarking on renovations to enhance our facilities. This includes expanding the number of classrooms, refurbishing existing classrooms and other areas to create a more helpful learning environment, enhancing Wudhu and toilet facilities, and installing a new boiler that will run without any failure, particularly during the winter months.

In order to successfully complete this renovation, we have the 313 Badr Challenge, which allows students to raise funds that will help towards the renovation.

Why Badr?

The word Badr comes from the Battle of Badr in 624 CE. During the blessed month of Ramadan, 313 Muslims achieved a miraculous victory by defeating a well-equipped 1,000-man army of Quraysh. This significant victory marked a major turning point for the Muslim community. In Badr, a small group of believers stood strong against overwhelming odds, fighting for the values of justice, equality, and freedom. As they stood firm, united, and determined, the Nusrat (Help) of Allah came.

Moral of the story - a SMALL number of people CAN accomplish BIG THINGS.

Join us as one of the 313 special individuals by donating £313 to help raise nearly £98,000 for the renovation of Highfields Eden Centre over the summer holidays. Your contribution will enhance and improve the services we provide to the community.

Certificates and rewards are awaiting those children who complete the BADR Challenge.

How does it work?

There’s 313 Numbered Shields, every shield represents a Badri Sahabi e.g. Shield one is Ubay ibn Ka’b’s Shield.

By selecting a shield and adding your name, you commit to raising £313. Every child will receive a certificate for raising £313. Moreover, what’s more interesting, the top fundraisers will receive first, second, and third place rewards, making it even more exciting.

How to donate

Note: Donations need to be referenced with child’s name

Your contribution will be a beacon of hope like the fateful day in Badr.

Remember: "The believers' shade on the day of resurrection will be charity." [Tirmidhi]
