Jamia Masjid Haroonia Nisbat-E-Rasooli And Muslim Teaching Centre
Charity 1156213
Overview
Summary
Jamia Masjid Haroonia Nisbat-E-Rasooli And Muslim Teaching Centre appears to operate as both a faith community and a local welfare venue. Its core identity is rooted in the Nisbat-E-Rasooli Naqshbandi Sufi tradition, while its stated remit extends beyond worship and religious education to recreation and support for people facing age, disability, financial or social disadvantage. The available evidence suggests a place-based institution whose building is intended to connect spiritual practice, learning and community life.
Operational geography
Evidence and reasoning
Supporting evidence
Glebe Farm and Tile Cross
Confidence: high
The Charity Commission records the charity's contact address as Markazi Jamia Masjid Harooniah & Islamic Centre. Birmingham City Council's 2024 planning record identifies the same named site as 'Land at Jamia Masjid Haroonia' and records the ward as Glebe Farm & Tile Cross. The charity's reported activities—prayers, lectures, religious education and provision of facilities—are consistent with delivery from this mosque and Islamic centre.
- Charity Commission Register of Charities, charity 1156213, overview/contact information
Lists the address as 'Markazi Jamia Masjid Harooniah & Islamic Centre'; records activities including prayer meetings, lectures, religious education for Muslim children in the local community, and provision of facilities. - Birmingham City Council Planning Online, application 2024/03100/PA
Identifies the site as 'Land at Jamia Masjid Haroonia' and records the ward as Glebe Farm & Tile Cross.
Remaining uncertainties
- The Charity Commission return reports that the charity operates in 'Birmingham City', but the available material does not identify services, regular activities or additional sites elsewhere in the city. This supports a Birmingham-wide beneficiary reach as a possibility, not evidence of a citywide operational footprint.
- There is no accessible organisational website, current annual-report narrative, programme listing or event calendar establishing whether activities are delivered away from the named mosque and Islamic centre.
- No material partnerships extending delivery into other Birmingham wards were identified in the consulted authoritative sources.
- The Charity Commission record says the charity does not own or lease land or property. This creates some uncertainty about its legal tenure at the mosque site, but does not materially undermine evidence that the charity operates at the named mosque and Islamic centre.
Additional evidence needed
- A current trustees' annual report or activity report specifying the locations of classes, welfare/recreation provision, festivals and outreach activity.
- A current official mosque timetable, programme calendar or social-media account controlled by the organisation, showing where services and events take place.
- Confirmation from the charity of whether it operates, hires or partners at any venues beyond the named mosque and Islamic centre.

Observations
A mosque with a broader community-infrastructure role
The organisation appears to use its physical facilities as a shared base for both religious observance and social-welfare activity, rather than treating the mosque solely as a worship space.
Why it matters
This suggests its importance may lie partly in providing accessible local infrastructure: a setting where faith, education, recreation and informal community support can coexist.

A distinctive tradition may anchor its community identity
Its explicit commitment to literature on the Silsila Nisbat-E-Rasooli suggests the organisation is not only a general Muslim prayer and teaching centre; it may also sustain and transmit a particular Naqshbandi Sufi lineage.
Why it matters
This may shape whom the organisation reaches, the forms of teaching it offers and the relationships it could have with other Sufi, mosque and Muslim education organisations.
Show evidence
“The charity advances Islam through producing or distributing literature on the Silsila Nisbat-E-Rasooli, described as the Naqshbandia Sufi Order of Islam.”
Source:Charity Commission“The charity holds prayer meetings, lectures and public celebrations of religious festivals.”

Religious education and inclusion are linked in its stated model
The organisation appears to combine education for Muslim children with provision intended especially for younger people and people experiencing vulnerability, indicating an intergenerational community role.
Why it matters
This points to a possible bridging function between family religious learning and wider social participation, rather than separate youth and welfare provision.
Show evidence
“The charity provides religious education to Muslim children in the local community.”
Source:Organisation“The charity provides facilities and recreation and leisure-time occupation particularly to youths, infirm or disabled community members.”
Source:Organisation
- There is no evidence about the scale, frequency or take-up of worship, education, recreation or welfare activities.
- It is unclear whether the welfare facilities are directly delivered, hosted for partners or mainly available to mosque members.
- No evidence identifies local partnerships, geographic reach or the communities least well served by current activity.
Remaining uncertainties
- A recent programme timetable and attendance information, including age groups and accessibility arrangements.
- Information on partner organisations, referral routes and use of the premises by external community groups.
- Accounts of participant needs and outcomes, particularly for young people, disabled people and people facing hardship.
