About Us
Al-Emaan Centre is run by members of the local community, for the local community.
Following purchase of the century-old premises in October 2014, renovation work soon ensued. We sought to refurbish the infrastructure and apply a traditional design to the interior architecture, while seeking to respect the original foundations upon which it was built. Works completed in June 2016 and we have looked at realising our vision thereafter.
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.
Our vision is one whereby people of different race, religion and culture can reside together in peace, harmony, and conformity with one another. We aim to engage with people of different faiths and backgrounds, with the aspiration of living in contentment with our neighbours and to increase mutual understanding. We hope that Bromley and the people of our Borough will be an example of this.
By treading in the footsteps of the Prophets (peace be upon them all), Al-Emaan Centre is founded upon the knowledge that change happens from within, and with the help of Allah can thereafter begin to spread, from individual to individual, community to community.

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.
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.

What is the PASP project?
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?
· 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.
· 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?
· Parents will leave message using the PASP dedicated phone number/email
· Parents will be contacted by our service and booked into professionals’ advisory slots if they meet the inclusion criteria.
For further information
Email: PASP@al-emaan.org.uk

We have a fantastic opportunity to be a part of the scouting movement right here in Bromley!
https://youtu.be/NnRfNhHIHrA
Scouting caters for all age groups from 4 – 18. The aim is to give them Skills for Life with opportunities to have new experiences, participate in adventurous activities, enjoy camping whilst making new friends and generally having FUN. At the moment we can only offer this to 6 – 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 scouting can enrich your life – don’t 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
There’s no better feeling than making a difference to communities and transforming the lives of young people. How’s 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?
Islam is a holistic way of life that entails faithful devotion to God, with the word Islam translated as ‘submission to the will of God’. Muslims believe that the universe and all that exists has a Loving & Caring Creator, known through contemplation of His signs and recognition of His favours upon us. The Arabic word for God is Allah, and He is described through several Names & Attributes in Islam such as The Compassionate, The Merciful, The Wise, The Loving, The Just, The Forgiving, The Gentle and many more.
At the core of the Islamic belief is gratitude to God alone for all that exists, and praise for all that He has created. Muslims believe this to be the path of Abraham (peace be upon him) and all the Prophets before & after him including Adam, Noah, Moses, Jacob, Joseph, Jesus and several more (peace be upon them all). Muslims respect each & every one of the Prophets as role models; individuals whose lives we draw lessons from and seek to emulate. We believe that certain Prophets were given Scriptures and that the final Messenger Muhammad (peace be upon him) received through revelation The Quran, the final message from God and guidance for mankind.
Muslims consider this life to be a temporary testing ground towards our final abode, in an eternal afterlife of reward or punishment based upon our actions on earth. Our purpose in this life is to worship God, which involves leading a life of devotion to Him with heart, body & mind. This manifests as being God-conscious & humble individuals, purifying our hearts, reforming our characters, practising patience & forgiveness, embodying gratitude to our Creator through prayer, and embedding an altruistic attitude of charitable acts & kindness to all of creation.
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.
Central to the Islamic faith are the essential duties and practices known as the Five Pillars of Islam. These are:
Shahadah
01-FAITH
Salah
02-PRAYER
Sawm
03-FASTING
Zakat
04-Almsgiving
Hajj
05-PILGRIMAGE
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: “Ashhadu al-la ilaha illa-llah was ashhadu anna Muhammadar rasulu-llah” translated as “ I bear witness that there is no God but Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is His Messenger” or more simply, “There is no god but Allah and Muhammad (peace be upon him) is His Messenger.” 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, “These few words are equal to one third of the Quran.”
02-Prayer (Salat) Prayer is an essential duty of every Muslim, and the second Pillar of Islam. It is performed five times a day. These times are dawn, noon, mid-afternoon, sunset, and evening. Before prayer, there is ritual cleansing and purification. Typically this means washing one’s hands, mouth, nose, face, ears, forearms, head, and feet three times with the right hand. If there is no water is available, sand may be substituted. Prayer itself consists of three or four cycles of ritual bowing and prostration along with recitation of parts of the Quran and other prayers in Arabic. All end with the phrase, “May peace, mercy and blessings be upon you.” Muslims can perform prayer just about anywhere, but the most favored place is in the mosque. A crier (muezzin) calls the faithful to prayer (adhan). The holy day each week is Friday. The congregation of worshippers at the mosque is led by the religious leader or imam. Prayers, wherever they take place, must be performed in the direction of Mecca. This direction is indicated by the kiblah, a word meaning “direction of prayer.” It is indicated in a mosque by a wall (referred to as the kiblah wall) that is usually marked by a niche called the mihrab.
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).
04-Almsgiving (Zakat) The fourth Pillar of Islam is a call to charity. There are two categories: compulsory and voluntary. Compulsory almsgiving resembles a tax for all Muslims, payable to either the community or state. It is calculated on the basis of one’s possessions and income, and usually equates to 2.5% of a person’s annually accumulated wealth. This system ensures that the poor will be at least partly provided for and encourages a sentiment of sharing among the various social classes. Almsgiving also has spiritual value, as a way of atoning for one’s sins and ensuring salvation in the afterlife. Voluntary almsgiving (sadaqa) should be performed freely and spontaneously, with discretion and sincerity.
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 Ka’ba. Pilgrims wear white, symbolizing the equality of all Muslims before God. Having arrived at Mecca, each pilgrim typically walks around the Ka’ba seven times. This is followed by a set of other ritual observances such as walking between the hills overlooking the Ka’ba, 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.
We believe Islam to be a way of life that offers contentment at heart and a rekindling of our relationship with the Divine based on the call of all the Prophets. We hope that through the work we are able to carry out here at Al-Emaan Centre, we can contribute towards realising this path, cultivating this personal journey and facilitating co-operative work to improve the lives of all.
