Our Story

Thursday the 14th of March 2019 an extraordinary feat was achieved.

A group of three brothers:

The then Islamic Society president Zaidi Hamid
Our beloved brother Abdulrahman Elbayouk. A final year medical student (May Allah have mercy on him).
And Mohammed Ullah, who was the chaplain at the University of Manchester

Set out to renovate the McDougall’s prayer hall. It needed a lot of work.

They told the University of their plans to have a fundraising dinner. And worked with senior staff who put them in touch with the Alumni office. To help with the collection of funds.

The hard work meant they managed to organise a successful evening. With current and ex-students, community members, local politicians, businesspeople, sponsors and supporters.

MASHALLAH by the will and permission of ALLAH SWT. They raised a total of £42,000 on the night. With an initial target of £20,000 being smashed.

They announced that surplus would be used for the benefit of Muslim students.

The three brothers who came together that evening. Decided that they wanted to continue the journey. And start something that would be a game changer… and MMSF was born.
