Fitrana Distribution 2025

Glasgow Central Mosque works with carefully selected NGO partners to ensure 100% of your donations are distributed directly to the needy. In the month of Ramadhan 2025, your Fitrana donations have been funding projects across three continents, including:

• 750 eid gift packs (containing clothing, shoes, toys and sweets) in Pakistan
• Food packs for 1000+ people in Lebanon and Yemen
• Rice and oil distributed to 667 families in 16 remote villages within Gambia
• Food packs for 4,000+ people in Bangladesh

This is a collective community effort which is only possible through your generous donations and the dedication of the volunteers from both GCM and oversees who help plan and distribute much needed help.

May Allah swt accept everyone’s giving and efforts.

Eid Al-Fitr 2025 Announcement

Eid Al Fitr 2025 – Sun 30 March 2025

I’tikaf 2025

Alhamdulillah, the opportunity to enter the Masjid as a Mu’takif for I’tikaf is now available.

Brothers wishing to perform I’tikaf at Glasgow Central Mosque should complete the I’tikaf Registration Form which can be downloaded here and must be submitted to the main office, 1 Mosque Avenue, Glasgow, G5 9TA. Alternatively, a hard copy is available from Glasgow Central Mosque.

Applicants must be aged 16 & over, and you must abide by all guidelines in the Masjid.

When will I’tikaf begin?

I’tikaf will begin at Maghrib on Thursday 20th March (the night of 21st Ramadhan) In’sha’Allah.

Sisters can dedicate an area/room at home where they may remain for their I’tikaf. Read more in our I’tikaf guidance for women.

What is I’tikaf?

“To confine oneself in a mosque for prayers, invocations and Ibadah, leaving the worldly activities for a limited number of days”

I’tikaf is a Sunnah of our beloved Prophet ﷺ. It is related on the authority of our mother Ayesha (RA) that:
“The Apostle of Allah ﷺ observed I’tikaf in the last ten days of Ramadhan, until the end of his life. After his death, his wives continued with it.” – Bukhari and Muslim.

The purpose of I’tikaf is to seek a favourable environment in which one can get closer to Allah (SWT). This confinement and devotion distances preoccupations with worldly life; allowing one to attain inner composure, serenity and focus purely on the greater eternal reality. The aim being to reach a state of mind whereby all fears, hopes and apprehensions are superseded by love, devotion, and remembrance of Allah (SWT).

May Allah (SWT) accept our fasting, prayers and worship during this blessed month.

Ramadhan Timetable 2025 / 1446 AH

Alhamdulillah we are pleased to make available the 2025 Ramadhan timetable.

View below or download a PDF copy.

As the perpetual timetable takes into consideration a very wide catchment area and has an allowance of several minutes as a precaution, precise times are being published for the purpose of Ramadhan for the Glasgow area.

We advise that all stop eating with a couple of minutes to spare as a general precaution and perform Fajr a moment after the beginning time.

May Allah (swt) make Sha’ban blessed for us, and let us reach Ramadhan.
