Mohiuddin Trust
Charity 1105585
Overview
Summary
Mohiuddin Trust appears to be a UK-based, faith-rooted charity whose role combines religious stewardship, international humanitarian support and long-term institution building. Its operating model seems to connect fundraising appeals, including Zakat and mosque projects, with support for education, healthcare and religious infrastructure overseas. The organisation also presents community cohesion as part of its purpose, suggesting an ambition to translate a distinct Sunni Sufi religious identity into both welfare activity and wider civic connection.
Operational geography
Evidence and reasoning
Supporting evidence
Aston
Confidence: high
The Trust's latest filed trustees' report identifies Jamia Masjid Mohiuddin Siddiquia in Aston as its main spiritual masjid and UK base, and records construction activity on its rebuild during 2024. The Trust's current website also identifies the Aston rebuild as a live, priority project.
- Mohiuddin Trust trustees' report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024, filed with the Charity Commission
The report describes Jamia Masjid Mohiuddin Siddiquia, Aston, Birmingham as 'the main spiritual Masjid and base of Mohiuddin Trust in the UK' and records major groundworks and sheet piling for the rebuild during 2024. - Mohiuddin Trust, Jamia Masjid Mohiuddin Siddiquia project page
The Trust states that it is currently undertaking the rebuild of Jamia Masjid Mohiuddin Siddiquia in Aston, Birmingham, intended to become a community-led hub as well as a place of worship. - Mohiuddin Trust, Founder page
The Trust describes completion of the Jamia Masjid rebuild in Aston as a primary current focus and says the completed building is intended to support prayer, meals, events, education and mortuary services.
Remaining uncertainties
- The evidence strongly establishes a current physical project and organisational base in Aston, but it does not show whether routine worship, education, food provision or other public-facing services are currently operating from the site while rebuilding continues.
- The Charity Commission lists Birmingham City, Bradford City and Newham as places where the charity operates, but neither the latest accounts nor the Trust's website identifies current sites, services or delivery partners in Birmingham outside Aston. This does not justify treating the Trust as citywide within Birmingham.
- The Trust's website presents an international relief and development identity, including projects and institutions outside the UK, but the 2024 accounts principally document the Birmingham masjid project and do not provide a current country-by-country delivery or partner breakdown.
- No material partnership that demonstrably extends the Trust's current operational reach within Birmingham was identified in the consulted primary sources.
Additional evidence needed
- A current project update or operational plan confirming the rebuild's present stage and when public services will resume or commence.
- A current annual report, impact report or service schedule identifying any Birmingham activity beyond the Aston masjid project.
- A current list of delivery partners, grant recipients and project locations, including the organisations through which overseas or other UK activity is delivered.

Observations
Relief work is paired with institution building
The Trust appears to pursue a longer-term development model rather than responding only to immediate hardship. Its stated projects suggest it uses charitable giving to support durable religious, educational and medical institutions alongside relief.
Why it matters
This helps distinguish the Trust from a purely emergency-focused aid charity. Its influence may lie partly in sustaining infrastructure that shapes access to education, healthcare and religious life over time.

Faith is both the identity and a delivery mechanism
The Trust's religious tradition appears to be more than a background value: it structures its charitable purpose, fundraising practice and physical investments. Zakat appeals and mosque development may connect religious participation directly to welfare and development activity.
Why it matters
Understanding this connection is important for identifying how the Trust mobilises support, which communities may regard it as trusted, and where it may have distinctive convening power.

“Its objects include advancing religion through religious centres, mosques and places of worship in the Ahle Sunnah Wa Al-Jammah, Brelwi Hanafi tradition.”

There is a potentially important local-to-global bridge
The available evidence suggests the Trust links UK-based religious infrastructure and fundraising with international aid and development. Its stated interest in inter-community relationships may broaden this bridge beyond its immediate faith constituency, although practical evidence is limited.
Why it matters
This may make the Trust a useful connector between local Muslim civic life, diaspora giving and overseas institutions. It would be worth exploring whether this connection also produces local partnerships and shared community activity.
