A
series of eye opening talks on how one can make the best out of any bad
situation. With speakers addressing delicate topics from personal experience,
it’s definitely a family event not to miss!
This event is for the youth 10 years and over and adults.
In 2012, the RNOH managed to secure outline planning for 92 residential units on the site. These units are a mix of flats and houses encompassing a total of c. 150k sq ft GIA.
We are actively working on evaluating the risks on the site and will be reporting back to the community in due course. Inshallah with our collective duas, we hope that this endeavour will yield fruit for our community.
This session highlighted the striking statistics that 1 in 6 are going to struggle with some kind of mental illness. 4-10% of people will experience anxiety and depression.
If we have a physical illness – we go to a doctor. But with a mental illness – we often don’t seek help from the relevant professionals. The reasons behind this are manifold ranging from embarrassment to perceiving mental illness as a sign of weak faith.
Our mental health is often the result of the balance (or imbalance) of all aspects of our lives. When one is overwhelmed or stressed this can trigger tendencies that one has which can manifest as depression or anxiety. The importance of self-care was emphasized – eating well, sleeping well, and exercising. The spiritual dimension can be a powerful curative and stabilising factor. Medication may also be necessary and should not be frowned upon. However, seemingly “simple” interventions like opening up to friends and family and seeking counseling can be powerful.
Past, present and projecting forward:
The final session drew on the previous two but also provided much new food for thought. There was a healthy discussion about how we parent our children. It could be argued that as a generation we raise our children in cotton wool and tell them that they are special. We give them whatever they want whenever they want. We either encourage competitiveness or no competition at all. For instance, when it’s sports day all the kids get a prize regardless of performance. Does this devalue winning?
When children move into independent life they realise they are not really special. They can’t get what they want when they want and need to work hard for what they want. This can have a serious impact on a child’s confidence and self-image. Increasingly we are finding that kids are growing up with reduced self-confidence and increased identity issues. Our children can mask their issues just as they do on Facebook and Instagram and only tell us what we want to hear not what we should and need to hear.
Today many of us see life as a problem to be solved rather than a life to be experienced. We postpone life rather than live it. We are juggling more and enjoying less. Instead of enjoying the abundance we tend to focus on what is lacking. We need to acknowledge and fill ourselves with the love around us and open ourselves to experience fully what is already there for us. The life that Allah has gifted us with.
We need to take time out to list the roles we play in life. Work is not just work. Within work we take on many roles, and at home we have many roles. The same applies to our volunteering roles.
Overall, the sessions provided a wonderful impetus to inward reflection as well as exploring ways to maximise our productive contributions to our relationships, families and the wider world.

On Friday 9th February, the length of time the Berlin wall was demolished exceeded the total time the wall had been up. In order to celebrate the occasion, the General Body voted to finally bring down their own wall which was clearly past its prime.
As many of you have noticed, the leaning wall in the ladies car park (affectionately known as the leaning wall of Stanmore) is being dismantled to enable safe reconstruction. We have been forced to close the road on Wood Lane however we were fortunate to time this in half term to reduce the disruption to the local residents.
We are grateful to Husayn Mawji for his hard work in facilitating this unique challenge and Harrow Council and the local Highways team for their support in enabling us to make our centre safer for our community.
In seeking to understand the art of the possible within the current Stanmore site, one the principal tasks that the Property team has undertaken, was to take a walk around he Stanmore site to understand the condition of the building. Syed sahib was kind enough to act as our tour guide, steering us through all the various boiler rooms, classrooms and even the bridal suite.
The most notable thing when walking around the site highlights the impressive way we have utilised the full breadth of the building. It is truly inspiring to see us expand and encourage our community to proactively occupy all elements of the building for multiple different uses throughout the year.
However, our extensive usage of the building and the years of heavy service that the building has given us, has shown its impact on the wear and tear on the fabric of the building. There are visible signs of serious issues on the site that need to be addressed. It is normal for a building of this age, however this has to feature in the short-medium term plans for our community centre.
What we have realised as a team is that a significant amount of money will need to be spent on this site in order to maintain the status quo. The Property team will need to assess this carefully against future plans in terms of longevity of this site as well as expansion plans and delisting conversations.
Our thanks to Syed Sahib for taking the time out to show us around and if there is anyone that has a particular skill set in this area and is able to help than please reach out on property@hujjat.org
