Welcome To
Al-Emaan Centre
Emaan (Arabic: Ų„ŁŁŁ ŁŲ§Ł, romanized: Ź¾Ä«mÄn, lit. ‘faith’ or ‘belief’, also ‘recognition’) in Islamic theology denotes a believer’s recognition in faith and deeds in the religious aspects of Islam. Its most simple definition is the belief in the six articles of faith.
In a time where peace and harmony amongst people of different faiths and cultures is of greater necessity than ever, Al-Emaan Centre is now poised to embark upon the attainment of this vision; carried by the hearts of individuals, embraced through the unity of the community.
About Us
Al-Emaan Centre seeks to serve the purpose as a religious, spiritual, educational & community centre for the thriving Muslim population in and around Bromley. It aims to bring the community together as one, to provide a safe haven for families and the youth to grow and develop, and to nurture a generation of active Muslim role models to the society within which we live.

Additional support for ex-prisoners and their families can be sought here:
Coming Home is a free, confidential counselling service provided by Muslim therapists for Muslims harmed by the prison system, and their families. Coming Home is a community response to the harms of imprisonment and criminalisation. It relies on building and renewing relationships, care and accountability. It is a way of creating society built on trust rather than suspicion and hope rather than fear.
Muslims may be hesitant to seek mental health support through public services for a wide variety of reasons. The initial focus on a confidential therapeutic service–provided by Muslim therapists–offers a religiously and culturally sensitive approach to mental health support. This allows for a holistic view of wellbeing incorporating spirituality, and the mental, physical, emotional, and political self.Ā
The service allows people to find comfort and safety in their faith if and how they choose to do so. Coming Home commits to providing a non-securitised, non-judgmental and inclusive space.

This project will provide a non-judgmental signposting/advisory service for parents who have concerns about the development and behaviour of their pre-school aged children, particularly when they are unsure of how and where to go for appropriate support and/or referral.
Why are we providing this service?
Developmental & behavioural problems in children can be a cause of great anxiety for parents. Although there are support and assessment pathways across NHS and other agency services in the UK to address these concerns, parents may not be fully aware of how the system works. Information available in the internet can be overwhelming and confusing for parents. This signposting advice may help in alleviating some of the parental concerns by providing relevant useful signposting/advice.
Who will provide this service?
Ā· The advisory service will be provided by a group of professionals with many years working experience in the NHS UK in child development and behaviour.
Ā· AEC will provide technical/legal & collaborative support for the project and will overview the safeguarding and other training needs of the members including consent/confidentiality policy and related matters.
How will it work?
Ā· Parents will leave message using the PASP dedicated phone number/email
Ā· Parents will be contacted by our service and booked into professionalsā advisory slots if they meet the inclusion criteria.
For further information Email: PASP@al-emaan.org.uk And see attached flyer
Volunteering for this project: There are various opportunities for volunteering within this project, which may help to enhance your skills and be useful for your CV:
Ā· Professional advisor Ā· Liaison/administrative officer Ā· Data collection officer
Training and supervision for each of the above roles will be provided as well as a free DBS certificate.
If you would like to volunteer for this project Please email: PASP@al-emaan.org.uk
Disclaimer: Ā· This service is not intended to replace the need for the child to be formally assessed by appropriately qualified/trained clinicians, therapist and/or a specialist. Although we would not directly address any safeguarding concerns, if during the advisory session any safeguarding issues are raised, we will follow address this in accordance with AEC Safeguarding, Consent and Confidentiality policy and procedures

This video will give you an insight into the possibilities. Introduction to Muslim Scouting
https://youtu.be/NnRfNhHIHrA
Scouting caters for all age groups from 4 ā 18.Ā The aim is to give them Skills for Life Ā with opportunities to have new experiences, participate in adventurous activities, enjoy camping whilst making new friends and generally having FUN.Ā At the moment we can only offer this to 6 ā 8-year-olds but with sufficient adult help this can quickly expand to cover the entire age range.
Adults enjoy all the same opportunities as the youngsters and here are some of the reasons why we volunteer.
Volunteering with scoutingĀ can enrich your life ā donāt just take our word for it. Over 90% of our volunteers say that their Scout experiences are hugely beneficial:
Gain skills
We have an award-winning training scheme for our volunteers so you get as much from it as our amazing young people, including practical skills like first aid and transferable skills like communication and leadership.
Boost your CV
More than two thirds of our volunteers say their CVs have been enhanced by joining Scouts. Employers love to see the commitment of volunteers, and through Scouts you can get vital experience in areas like management, administration and activities.
Make new friends
A whopping 97% of our volunteers say their involvement has helped them forge new friendships.
Change lives
Thereās no better feeling than making a difference to communities and transforming the lives of young people. Howās that for job satisfaction?
To find out more about volunteering please email 1stbromleyalemaan@gmail.com
and remember that more adults are essential to enable the Group to expand.

What is Islam?
Along with certain prescribed practises (such as prayer, charity & fasting), a principle in Islam is that all righteous acts throughout our daily lives, when done with the sincere intention of pleasing God, are considered acts of worship. Coupled with the qualities & values nurtured through our private devotions, communal worship features as a valuable aspect of belief. The notion espoused by the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) of collectively supporting one another, and considerately caring for the welfare of our wider society is integral to the faith.

01-Profession of faith (shahada)
The profession of faith is known as the shahada. It is the prerequisite for membership in the Muslim community, and an affirmation of the faith. Muslims are required to declare this profession in public at least once in their lifetime, but most Muslims recite it daily as part of their prayers. In Arabic, the shahada is as follows: āAshhadu al-la ilaha illa-llah was ashhadu anna Muhammadar rasulu-llahā translated as ā I bear witness that there is no God but Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad (peace be upon him) is His Messengerā or more simply, āThere is no god but Allah and Muhammad (peace be upon him) is His Messenger.ā
The profession of faith is designed not only for public affirmation, but also to encourage true conviction and sincerity of mind on the part of the worshipper. The phrase is absolutely central to the practice of Islam. Muhammad (peace be upon him) is reported to have said, āThese few words are equal to one third of the Quran.ā
03-Fasting (sawm)
Fasting (sawm) is a ritual observance during the month of Ramadhan, the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. Muslims are required to abstain from eating, drinking, and sexual activities between sunrise and sundown. Nursing and pregnant mothers, the sick, and children up to the age of puberty are permitted to break the fast. Ramadhan is important, because it marks the time in the year when the Quran began to be revealed to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
05-Pilgrimage to Mecca (Hajj)
All Muslims who have the physical and materials means to do so are encouraged to visit Mecca at least once in their lifetimes. The pilgrimage occurs during part of the twelfth month of the Islamic calendar. Modern transportation allows millions of Muslims to make the pilgrimage to Mecca, where the focus is the structure known as the Kaāba. Pilgrims wear white, symbolizing the equality of all Muslims before God.
Having arrived at Mecca, each pilgrim typically walks around the Kaāba seven times. This is followed by a set of other ritual observances such as walking between the hills overlooking the Kaāba, standing on Mt. Arafat, and traveling to nearby Minah, all sites that commemorate aspects of Islamic history and faith. Pilgrims also frequently visit the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem and the Mosque of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in Medina. Both the month of pilgrimage to Mecca and the month of Ramadhan end in festive celebrations.
