Quba Islamic Foundation

The Quba Islamic Foundation is a registered UK charity (number 1117688) established on 25 January 2007 to serve the Muslim community in Leicester, England. It operates as a spiritual and educational hub, focusing on religious activities, community support, and holistic well-being.

Activities

The foundation’s work is centered on religious services, including daily prayers and Islamic education, alongside community-focused initiatives such as health promotion, recreational programs, and welfare support[1][2]. Its educational efforts aim to foster religious and social development, while its advisory services provide guidance to individuals and families[2].

Governance

As of March 2024, the charity reported an annual income of £183,924 and expenditure of £172,757, directed toward its core activities[2]. It is managed by five trustees and supported by five volunteers, with no trustees receiving financial benefits[2].

Distinction from similarly named entities

The Quba Islamic Foundation should not be confused with the separate Quba Trust (registered in 2014, charity number 1159026), which focuses on poverty relief and advancing the Islamic faith globally[5]. Additionally, the Quba Foundation (qubafoundation.org), which operates internationally in areas like water access and orphan care, is unrelated to this Leicester-based entity[3].

The foundation’s work remains rooted in serving Leicester’s local community through religious, educational, and social initiatives[1][4].
