About Us
In 1998 families of Malayalee Muslim Community in London started organising informal social gatherings for Islamic festivals (EID) and Ramadan, which later expanded to have regular Quran classes held at homes. In 2002 The group decided to formally establish this as an association of Keralite Muslims in UK. Malayalee Muslim Cultural and Welfare Association was registered as a charity in 2004 with the main objective of providing social, religious and cultural support to Malayalee Muslim Community in UK.
Aims and Objectives
Our UK Charity Registration number is 1110774
What we offer
MMCWA was established in the UK with an intention of bringing all members of Malayalee Muslim Community under one umbrella providing religious awareness to the families specially young members by organising classes and meetings imparting Islamic teachings. Our aim is to ensure they understand and value their religious background and live their life in a fulfilling way meeting their obligations as true Muslim.
HELP IN NEED
With the main aim as above, MMCWA also undertakes various charitable
activities helping people to cope with unexpected disasters. MMCWA
raised funds to support people across the World sending money through
various charities to help in relief works, in 2007 for Bangladesh
cyclone relief through Muslim Aid, in 2010 for Pakistan flood relief
through Islamic Relief and for Haiti earthquake relief through DEC, in
2011 for Somalia emergency relief through Islamic Relief and in 2014 for
Gaza relief works. In 2018 raised more than £ 10,000 for Kerala Flood
Relief and handed over to Keral Government for use in relief efforts. In 2008, 2011, 2014,
2016 and 2018 money raised and provided
support to families of the deceased within the community in need of
financial support. Since 2004, for every Ramadan MMCWA members donate to
special regular fund and forward to Government Leprosy Hospital in Koratti, Kerala, India to use in patient care.
Why"Malayalee Muslim"?
We understand the word "Malayalee Muslim" is
confusing because Muslims all over the world are "one" and dividing them
by country, region or language is wrong. We named the association this
way because many of our classes and speeches are imparted in
"Malayalam", the regional language of Kerala, India. Also it is more
convenient to have a small manageable group from a section of community
getting together who share same religious background and hails from same
geographical area and speak same regional language. This doesn't in
any
way means we are not integrating into the community as a whole. We never
close our doors to anyone wishing to join us for our events and
activities, and we encourage our members to attend functions and events organised by other community groups. We always insist our members to
respect and have an understanding of other beliefs and religions.
