Jamia Alfurqan Limited
Charity 1157121
Overview
Summary
Jamia Alfurqan Limited appears to be a place-based, faith-rooted charity whose role extends beyond religious practice into practical support, learning and inclusion in Birmingham. Its objects suggest an ambition to use Islamic community infrastructure as a platform for wider public benefit: reducing hardship, supporting health, serving different generations and abilities, and building understanding across faiths and backgrounds. The available evidence indicates breadth of purpose, but gives little visibility of which parts of that mission are most active in practice.
Operational geography
Evidence and reasoning
Supporting evidence
Soho and Jewellery Quarter
Confidence: medium
The organisation's official website currently gives a Birmingham contact location. This is direct evidence of a Birmingham contact or administrative base, but the website does not demonstrate that services are delivered there. Companies House records show that this ceased to be the registered office in March 2025, so its present operational use requires confirmation.
- Jamia Al Furqan official website, Contact Us page
Lists a Birmingham contact location alongside its telephone number and email address. - Jamia Al Furqan official website, February 4 2026 project posts
The current site footer continues to identify a Birmingham contact address. - Companies House filing history for Jamia Alfurqan Limited, company 08248868
Records that the registered office changed from a Birmingham address to Hayes on March 19, 2025, creating uncertainty over whether the Birmingham address remains an active office.
Remaining uncertainties
- There is no direct current evidence that Jamia Alfurqan delivers Birmingham-based education, religious activity, advice, facilities or poverty-relief services from either of its identified Birmingham addresses or its current registered office.
- Companies House currently records a Birmingham address as the registered office, while the organisation's official website continues to publicise a different Birmingham address as its contact location. Registered-office status alone is not sufficient evidence that either address is a service site.
- The official website describes work in Pakistan and 'different countries', including health, education, water, housing and mosque projects. This supports an international overall footprint, but it does not identify delivery partners, project addresses, dates, or independently verifiable current overseas activity.
- No material partnerships extending operational reach in Birmingham were identified in the consulted official sources.
- The Charity Commission's Birmingham-wide charitable objects describe permitted purposes and intended beneficiary geography; they do not establish current citywide Birmingham delivery.
Additional evidence needed
- A current annual report or trustees' report specifying where services were delivered during the latest reporting year, including any Birmingham programmes and overseas projects.
- Confirmation from the organisation of which Birmingham address is presently used as an office, service venue or correspondence-only address.
- Current programme information identifying the locations, delivery partners and status of overseas projects.
- Evidence of any Birmingham venues, schools, mosques, community organisations or other partners through which the charity currently delivers activity.

Observations
Faith infrastructure may be its platform for wider civic support
The organisation appears to combine Islamic religious activity with education, poverty relief, health, equality and interfaith aims. Its buildings and facilities may therefore function as more than a worship venue: potentially as an accessible community base for support and connection.
Why it matters
This suggests the organisation may occupy a bridging role between faith life and wider civic provision, making it a potentially important local connector rather than a narrowly religious body.
Show evidence
“Its objects include advancing Islam through prayer meetings, lectures, religious festivals and literature.”

Its remit is unusually broad, creating both reach and strategic ambiguity
The organisation is authorised to address multiple connected but distinct issues: education, poverty, health, equality, religious harmony and religious advancement. This may enable responsive support, but the evidence does not show whether it has a clear operational focus.
Why it matters
Understanding whether this breadth is an integrated model or simply a wide constitutional remit is important for identifying its actual capabilities, partners and unmet needs.

There may be a cross-generational inclusion focus
Support for children and young people, older people and people with disabilities suggests the organisation may seek to reduce exclusion across life stages rather than serving a single demographic. However, disability is listed as a beneficiary group without a corresponding specific activity.
Why it matters
This raises a useful question about whether the organisation has inclusive design, specialist support or referral relationships that could strengthen access for groups often underserved by community institutions.
