Who we are. What we stand for.
Madrasah Vali (Blackburn) — building permanent Islamic education across the Western Balkans with on-the-ground delivery partners.
Madrasah Vali, Blackburn
Madrasah Vali is the madrasah at Issa Hikmah Centre, home to Masjid-e-Vali on Preston New Road in Blackburn. We teach pupils across multiple classes and year groups, with an aligned curriculum from the An-Nasihah tradition. Our motto: “Learn. Love. Lead. — Like a Wali.”
Since 2023 we've been deploying small teams internationally — Indonesia, Albania, and onwards — bringing the same standards of Islamic education to communities still recovering from decades of forced atheism and conflict.
How we deliver
Madrasah Vali partners with on-the-ground delivery teams whose feet are already on the soil where funds are needed. Each campaign names its delivery partner publicly — typically a UK-registered charity for the Gift Aid pathway — and every pound is tagged, tracked, and transferred on a fixed schedule.
Where MV delivers directly (general fund work, local community projects in Blackburn) the same transparency model applies: every transfer logged, every project reported back with photographs and outcomes.
Our commitments to you
- Every donation tagged to the specific project or cause you choose — no redirection without consent.
- Where a campaign has a delivery partner, funds are transferred to that partner in tranches — every transfer logged publicly.
- If you opt in to Gift Aid, your declaration cites the partner charity whose number is on the form at the time of donation. Madrasah Vali itself is not a UK-registered charity and does not claim Gift Aid.
- Photographs and video footage from each project, in delivery.
- Campaign close-out reports published with full reconciliation.
- If a project exceeds its target, the surplus is applied to the cause most in need with full disclosure.
Join the journey.
Every gift sustains permanent Islamic education. Lillah, Sadaqah, or Sadaqah Jariya — you choose.
