The Sunday Scandal Session 10: Empty Prayer Centres and the £16,000,000 Demand for More!

Salaam. It seems that Monday is the new Sunday!

Firstly let me apologise for the blog being somewhat quiet as of late; I have been really busy and have not been able to maintain it for much of this week. Yesterday, there was an unforeseen technical glitch but that has now been resolved. Sorry! I will try to make sure it doesn't happen again! This is going to be a long post, so be prepared and grab some Prozac Pills- you have been warned!!

I was lucky enough (with Allah's help of course) to stumble across a whole heap of financial documents of the Ahmadiyya Community in the UK; my plan is to get them up over the coming months, so outsiders are given an idea of the business within. From my inside understanding of the Ahmadiyya HQ in London, they hate the light shone on their finances as it’s what keeps them going and this is something they prefer only for the top elite to know about. Anything finance related; be it targets for raising funds or budgets for Jalsa Salanas, the Jamaat do not like this information getting out. For example, a few months back I released minutes of a meeting chaired by Ch Waseem Ahmad which discussed various financial targets and they were less than impressed. Now, what I have for you this week might not interest any of you, but for those who are genuinely interested in the financial targets of the Jamaat... read on.

Lets get stuck in then shall we? I have three documents that I want you all to take a look at. I am copying and pasting them, because fortunately for once, I have them in digital form (no scanning-yes!!!) so it saves me a lot of time too.

The first document contains the Tajneed data for the UK Jamaat as of 2010. For those not familiar with what 'Tajneed' means (its usual Ahmadi Jargon) in short its their member database. So for example, when some poor soul 'converts' to this cult, his name, details (such as profession and ethnicity.. because that's REALLY important in Islam/Faith right?!) is added on to this system. He is then supplied with an AIMS number, which is his unique membership code. He must present this if he wants to gain entry to their Jalsa Salanas or if security is tight at their centres. Think Gym Membership Card. Got the picture? Cool. Similarly, when someone is thrown out/expelled from the community, their details are removed off the system and their membership is cancelled (it’s Islamic, stupid!!!!).

Anyways, so how many Ahmadis are there here in the United Kingdom? 22,466 to be precise! There we have it! Ahmadis, the fastest growing Muslim group in the world, and they only make up 22,466 out of the 3 million strong Muslims here in the UK! Surely this can't be true?! I thought Ahmadiyyat was 'the True Islam' and was spreading at the speed of light?! Fun Fact: guess how many Muslims there are alone in the Croydon area of London? Almost 20,000! LOL! Wow Ahmadis, even the Muslims in the London Borough of Croydon have beat you in the numbers game! Funny eh? Local figures out do the Ahmadi National figures.

Yes! I really can see this exponential growth of Ahmadiyyat! It is as clear as day! Whats that, I hear you mutter under your breath Ahmadi reader of mine? Sorry, I didn't quite catch you? Oh, of course, most Ahmadis are all in Africa? Benin to be precise, right? I know, we are a horrible bunch, laughing at your measly numbers aren't we? We should be considerate and remember it is the largely illiterate Africans who have accepted the claims of this famous promised messiah? I mean, not the all reading and writing British public, right? Stop laughing at the Ahmadis! They are growing... in Africa! There is no proof of this but we have to give them the benefit of the doubt. So you get the idea right? 22,446 Ahmadis here in the UK.....

Moving on. I can't imagine the figures I am about to present below having changed much in recent years, can you? Take a look at their 'Salat Attendance' for the London Region in 2007/2008:

Official  Salat Attendance Figures for 2007/2008:

Jama’ats having Salat Centres: 78 (Total 102 salat centres – some have more than 1)

Jama’ats not having Salat Centres: 22

Total number of salat centres is: 102 (53 are non mosques and non mission houses)

25 are mosques and mission houses.

Attendance:

Masjid Fazal (Inner Park, Mosque West, Peckham, Putney, Wandsworth, Westhill, Wimbledon)

Tajneed estimate for men is 1125 out of which 800 should be attending salat centres for Fajar and Isha.

Fajar attendance is 115 which is equivalent to 115/800= 14.38%

Isha attendance is 353 335/800= 41.87%

In 2007, average Fajar attendance at Masjid Fazal was 80 and at Baitul Futuh was 20, and average attendance was 200 each at both mosques for isha prayers. The tajneed was about 20% less then and we did not have exact figures for the jama’ats around London).

(Unfortunately, the above figures are a bit skewed as it includes all the visitors that come to the mosque as well and also those that often come from other jama’ats). The real figures taken from individual jama’ats is Fajar: 48, which is 6%, and Isha 218, which is 27.25%)

Baitul Futuh (Cheam, Epsom& Ewell, Lower Morden, Morden, New Malden, Raynes Park, South Morden, Surbiton, Worcester Park)

Tajneed estimate for men is 1590 of which 1115 should be attending the mosque for fajar and Isha.

Fajar attendance is 59 which is equivalent to 59/1115= 5.3%

Isha attendance is 219 219/1115= 19.64%

(Unfortunately, the above figures are skewed as it includes all the visitors – but not marriage guests and not attendances taken during jama’at functions. The real figures taken from the jama’ats themselves are: Fajar 40 which is 3.59% and Isha 62 which is 5.56%)

Overall in the UK, the total Tajneed is approximately 19530, and men is 9765 of which 70% should be in the mosque making a baseline of 6835.

For the month of September:

Fajar was 613 which is equivalent to 613/6835= 8.97% (in 2007 it was 5.38%)

Isha was 1310 1310/6835= 19.17% (in 2007 it was 14.08%) 

It's interesting to note that the overall Tajneed figures for 2007/2008 stood at 19,530 and it's crept up to a mere 22,466 in 2010! Do you know that last year the UK saw almost 600,000 reverts embrace Islam? SubhanAllah! And the UK Jamaat, home to the Ahmadi Khalifa (Allah's Chosen One) saw through a pathetic increase of 2,936 over a three year period! Now don't be dishonest my Ahmadi readers; lie, by all means in the comment section, but do not lie to yourselves!

You ALL know full well this increase is largely owing to the fact that there was a mass exodus of Ahmadis from Germany, who migrated to the UK after their economy suffered as a result of the economic downturn in 2008. You know this. I know this. So really, the increase on the Tajneed Register has nothing to do with your 'tabligh' efforts, and does not reflect the constant 'tabligh' efforts of the Jamaat, does it now?? Your door-to-door leaflet campaign? Your bumper stickers on the back of cars advertising your website LoveforAllHatredForNone.Org? It has nothing to do with people actually embracing this so called true Islam that was set, according to your founder, to revolutionise the world, does it now? Why is it people are embracing the 'other Islam' and not your 'true Islam'? If after all, Allah was with you and truth was on your side, why are these Brits failing to see it or even hear of your Messiah's mission and are instead accepting orthodox/mainstream Islam in record numbers? What's going wrong here? Logic and Truth always prevails, perhaps??

Hey, didn't Ahmadis twist the prophecy that the Sun will rise from the West to mean that Ahmadiyyat will spread in the West? What an amazing job of spreading Ahmadiyyat. After 100 years or so in the UK there are only 22, 466 (to be precise) of them here!

You are not growing in numbers- fact. No one is accepting this 'true Islam' and instead Muslim Masjids in London are nearing breaking point trying to accommodate the numbers of worshippers. Its not unusual for Imams' to offer multiple Jummah Jamaats in any one Masjid on any one Friday. Your own Ahmadi fellows, as evident above, can barely make it for Isha Salaat! For a group that supposedly came to reform Islam and be a shining example for mankind, they can barely muster 5% attendance for Isha prayers in Baitul Futuh. And guess what? They've started up a new campaign because they want more of your money to build more empty 'prayer centres' for the London Region which has an overall Tajneed of 10,000 odd! And guess how much they want from you? Have a look:

So here we have the Ahmadi Jamaat's top elite attempting to exhort a whopping £15,580,000 from its cash strapped members! And for what exactly, you should ask yourselves? Empty prayer centres? This isn't about prayers is it? This is about expanding their extensive property portfolio! The UK Jamaat, particularly the London Region, boasts that it has the so called largest 'Mosque' in Western Europe, that can handle a capacity of up to 10,000 men, women and children. As their own records clearly show us, they are struggling to fill the centres that are readily available but want your hard earned cash to buy up more?

Do you know Mas, Raf and Nas have started with their campaign to raise this money and fast! This isn't just in London. They are setting targets for pretty much every region in the UK and the targets are more or less the same! I chose to focus however on the London Region, considering it is home to Europe's largest Mosque (apparently) with a capacity for 10,000 worshippers. The London Tajneed is 10,000 but they want more centres do they, even though they are not growing in numbers? Once these properties have been purchased (on mortgage of course), do you know Raf and Mas are likely to become 'Chairman' on these boards? Do you know Raf is currently Chairman for quite a few properties of the Jamaat, which are on mortgage? How very Halal, MashAllah!

Common sense? Use it! Do not part with your hard earned cash for a 'scheme' that is literally scheming money out of you. They are playing on your genuine faith in this so called 'true Islam' to simply add to their property portfolio. You have Bait ul Fatuh in Mordern: there is NO need for anymore 'prayer centres', especially seeing that the ones you currently have are predominantly empty for the best part of the year! As I said, it is about Property Development and not about Prayers! So do not listen to them when they come begging, you are lining all the wrong pockets!!

Have you ever honestly considered why it is that your most active 'Ameers', Raf Hayat and Nas Khan, are both property developers? Does it not concern you that neither are religious scholars or Imams? Question that! And then question your 'khalifa' who chooses to have these men working alongside him! On the topic of Mas and prayers, did any of you come to hear what Mas said in one of his very recent 'sermons' about Salah and the combining of the 5 daily prayers? Did you know, your so called Khalifa, doesn't even know his Ahadith but still insists it is through him that Islam will prosper? Of course he backtracked, but he didn't have a choice did he? Have a quick read here!

Raf, Mas and Nas; I would like to know..DID YOU EVER??

Oh btw.. out of curiousity, how are things going Raf?? Everything ok in the Hayat household?? Lemme know :)
