Washwood Heath Muslim Centre And Madrassah Qasim-Ul-Uloom
Charity 1125410
Overview
Summary
The available evidence suggests that Washwood Heath Muslim Centre And Madrassah Qasim-Ul-Uloom is a faith-rooted community institution whose clearest operating role is religious education for children, situated within a wider mandate to support Islamic practice and understanding across generations. Its objects indicate an ambition to provide a non-political religious platform that can accommodate differing schools of thought, potentially making it more than a teaching provider: a local setting for religious continuity, guidance and community cohesion.
Operational geography
Evidence and reasoning
Supporting evidence
Ward End
Confidence: low
The Charity Commission record lists Washwood Heath Muslim Centre as the charity's registered contact address and describes its activity as Islamic education for children. However, a registered contact address is not evidence of operational activity, and the record does not explicitly confirm where services are delivered.
- Charity Commission Register, charity no. 1125410, contact information and charity overview
Lists Washwood Heath Muslim Centre as the address and describes the charity's activity as 'Giving Islamic education to the children'.
Remaining uncertainties
- The Charity Commission record declares that the charity operates in Birmingham City, but it gives no current programme, outreach or beneficiary-location information that would evidence active delivery beyond the Ward End base.
- The available evidence does not explicitly state that teaching, prayers or other services take place at the named centre; treating it as an operational site is a reasonable but not conclusive interpretation of the named centre address and the charity's activities.
- No material partnerships, satellite venues, subsidiaries or externally delivered projects were identified in the available authoritative evidence.
- The Charity Commission record states that the charity does not own or lease land or property, so the tenure and continuing use of the named centre cannot be confirmed from the register alone.
Additional evidence needed
- A current timetable, annual report, or confirmation from the organisation identifying where madrassah classes, worship and advice services are delivered.
- Information on any regular outreach, partner-delivered activity or additional venues elsewhere in Birmingham.
- Confirmation of the organisation's current right to use and operate from the named centre.

Observations
A children-focused entry point to wider community life
Islamic education for children appears to be the organisation's most explicit practical activity, while its stated beneficiaries extend to older people and the general public. This may indicate that madrassah provision is an entry point into a broader, intergenerational religious community rather than a standalone educational service.
Why it matters
This helps distinguish the organisation from a narrowly defined tuition provider. Its value may lie partly in connecting children and families to longer-term religious learning, practice and support.

Religious education is paired with a cohesion-oriented mandate
The organisation's objects combine advancing Sunni Islamic religious practice with promoting understanding within the Muslim community through a non-political platform that recognises varying schools of thought. This suggests its educational role may also be intended to support shared understanding across internal differences.
Why it matters
It points to a potentially distinctive civic role: not only transmitting religious knowledge, but creating space for common ground within a diverse local Muslim community.

The centre may combine teaching with informal guidance
Its registered methods include advocacy, advice and information alongside service provision, while its activities are classified as education and religious activities. This may indicate that people approach the organisation for religious guidance as well as structured classes and prayer-based participation.
Why it matters
If confirmed, this would make the organisation an accessible local source of trusted information and support, with potential relevance to other services seeking culturally and faith-informed routes to families.
