Ahl-E-Sunnat Wa Jamaat Bareilvi Of Birmingham
Charity 512810
Overview
Summary
Ahl-E-Sunnat Wa Jamaat Bareilvi Of Birmingham appears to be a faith-centred community organisation whose core role is to sustain a specific Sunni Barelvi religious tradition through worship-related gatherings and religious education. Its stated focus on children, older people and people with disabilities suggests an intention to serve across generations and support needs, while its recorded use of human resources indicates that people and participation may be central to its delivery model. The available evidence does not show the scale, frequency or wider community relationships of this work.
Operational geography
Evidence and reasoning
Supporting evidence
Sparkhill
Confidence: high
The charity’s registered working name is Jamatia Islamic Centre, and both the Charity Commission record and the centre’s official website identify its centre in Sparkhill. The official website describes regularly delivered worship, Quranic education, madrassah provision and community activities at the centre.
- Charity Commission Register of Charities, charity 512810
Lists Jamatia Islamic Centre as the charity’s working name and identifies it as being in Sparkhill; it records the charity’s activities as arranging religious functions and religious education. - Jamatia Islamic Centre official website
Identifies the main centre in Birmingham and describes daily prayers, Friday sermons, Quran classes, madrassah education and regular community events. - Birmingham City Council Sparkhill ward information
Confirms Sparkhill as a current Birmingham ward.
Remaining uncertainties
- The Charity Commission lists Birmingham City as the area in which the charity operates, but the available current service evidence identifies only the centre. This supports a neighbourhood-based operational identity rather than demonstrating routine delivery across Birmingham.
- The official website and Charity Commission record describe the centre differently, but the precise current property extent is unclear.
- No current evidence was found of additional Birmingham delivery sites, formal delivery partnerships, or services regularly operated in other wards.
- The website includes a funeral-service fundraising appeal for Birmingham, but this is an appeal to establish a service and is not evidence that a citywide funeral service is currently operating.
Additional evidence needed
- A current annual report or service report specifying where activities and beneficiaries are reached within Birmingham.
- A current programme timetable or event listings confirming whether any services are delivered away from the centre.
- Evidence from named partner organisations if partnerships materially extend service delivery beyond Sparkhill.

Observations
Religious continuity appears to be its organising purpose
The organisation appears to be structured primarily around maintaining and transmitting the Ahl-E-Sunnat Wal Jamaat Barelvi faith tradition, rather than around general community provision with a religious element.
Why it matters
This helps distinguish it from broader faith-based charities: religious education and functions may be both its service model and its mechanism for sustaining identity, knowledge and intergenerational connection.

The organisation may function as an intergenerational faith community
Its named beneficiary groups suggest that the organisation may create a shared religious setting spanning younger and older people, rather than concentrating on one life stage.
Why it matters
Intergenerational settings can carry knowledge, belonging and informal support between age groups; this may be an important part of its local role even if it is not separately recorded as a service.

People may be the organisation's principal delivery resource
The recorded provision of human resources may indicate reliance on teachers, religious leaders, volunteers or other people contributing time and expertise, rather than on material aid or specialist facilities.
Why it matters
This points to a potentially relationship-based operating model, where organisational capacity depends on trusted people and their ability to convene, teach and support participation.
