Running has always been a passion of his and as a proud member of the Muslim community and an avid supporter of Al Furqan Education Trust Muhammad found that running embodies many of the values we holds dear: discipline, perseverance, and the pursuit of excellence. Through his participation in the Tokyo Marathon, he aims not only to challenge himself but also to inspire fellow Muslims to embrace running as a path to physical wellbeing and why not do it while raising money for a good cause.
Muhammad’s Goal? By the Will of Allah, sn ambitious target to raise £50,000 for the Al Furqan Education Trust. These funds will go a long way in funding the much needed renovations and costs for maintaining the Masjid, improving the building’s facilities, and ensuring that our place of worship continues to serve as a cornerstone of our community. Your support can make a real difference in the lives of many in our community, fostering a future where our children can grow up proud of their identity and equipped with the knowledge they need to succeed.

By supporting Muhammad, you’re not just funding a building; you’re investing in the hearts and minds of our community’s future leaders.
Inspiration from Hadith: Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) emphasised the importance of maintaining good health and fitness. He said, “A strong believer is better and more beloved to Allah (swt) than a weak believer, while there is good in both.” (Sahih Muslim).
By participating in events like the Tokyo Marathon, we not only improve our physical health but also fulfill a Sunnah of our beloved Prophet.
