South London Quran Competition

On 13th July 2019, Alhidaya Croydon hosted the South London Quran competition . Allhudulilah we had nearly 50 youngsters participating in memorisation or recitation competition. It was a motivational and an inspirational event. It was very encouraging to see the competitive spirit in pursuit of mastering the holy Quran by our youngsters.

FEEDING THE HUNGRY

Throughout the Holy Qur'an, Allah compares believers and disbelievers by how they treat those who are hungry. The Qur'an states, “ (The righteous are those) who give food in spite of love for it to the needy, the orphan, and the captive, [Saying], 'We feed you only for the countenance of Allah. We wish not from you reward or gratitude.' On the contrary, the disbelievers will endure the punishment of the Hell Fire saying, 'Nor did we used to feed the poor.'"

It is reported in a hadith that Prophet Muhammad said, “Feed the hungry, visit the sick, and set free the captives." Islam advocates feeding the hungry, regardless of race, religion or background. It is such an important part of the religion that Prophet Muhammad said a person is not really a Muslim if he goes to bed satiated while his neighbour goes hungry. Prophet Muhammad said that the believer's shade on the Day of Judgment will be his charity. Humility in giving is strongly encouraged in Islam. One hadith states that one of the seven people who will be shaded by God on the Day of Judgment is “a man who gives charity so secretly that his left hand does not know what his right hand has given.”

About Us

The South Indian Muslim community in the borough of Croydon, who came to make their living in UK, has slowly built since the late 70s and 80s.  Like minded professional migrants in mid 2000 noticed that this community lacked guidance on education, career progression, women progression and economic prosperity. This resulted in communal deprivation and a lack of “sense of belonging".

As per the guidance of Prophet SAW, an idea was floated in 2013 to bring this community together to help prosper and maintain the cultural value of its Islamic Origin. With the growing need for the next generation of guidance, this organisation, Alhidaya Croydon was formed (UK Registered Charity No. 1165713 ).

A committee of strong, handpicked members with a range of professional and social backgrounds is one of Alhidaya’s greatest strengths.
