Serene Montessori Nursery & Primary School

Education is at the forefront of our work, and it begins with early development. Bahjatul Fu’ad will house a Montessori nursery; a child-centred learning environment focused on the spiritual and psychological welfare of children. Here, children will learn organically through the experience of play, developing natural interests and activities.

The primary years of a child’s life have a profound impact on their minds, characters and the habits they form. The ‘serene’ child has a natural aspiration and desire to know and comprehend the world around them. This is what we aim to achieve through the Serene Montessori Nursery.

Emotional Wellbeing Centre

Mental health problems are on the rise, affecting 1 in 6 people, in England, in any given week. But for counselling and therapy to be effective, they must be culturally relevant. Muslims need access to mental health support that offers an Islamic perspective on the issues they face.

Bahjatul Fu’ad will house an Emotional Wellbeing Centre, providing mental health and wellbeing services. The centre will:

• Offer support through counselling for individuals, couples, and families.
• Raise awareness of mental illness within our communities.
• Tackle the taboos, stigma and discrimination that are often associated with people experiencing mental health and wellbeing difficulties.
• Facilitate self-help and group workshops for individuals and families who are experiencing mental health and wellbeing problems.
• Offer diet- and exercise-focused support as a holistic way of improving wellbeing.

Islam and our prophetic traditions give us many tools to improve wellbeing. Empowered with these, our communities can be better equipped to tackle mental health issues and support individuals suffering from them.

Prophetic Sports & Spa Centre

Bahjatul Fu’ad will house a wellness centre accommodating a martial arts dojo and segregated spa facilities. Here children and adults alike will be able to learn and practice prophetic sports. The spa will provide therapeutic services aimed at renewing the body, mind, and soul.

Societies (particularly in the developing world) are becoming increasingly more sedentary, with over 70% of adults spending their waking hours in a seated position. Inactivity has a detrimental impact on physical and mental health. As a community, we need to become more active through engaging in meaningful pursuits which invigorate the body and mind.

The centre will enable our community to benefit from these Prophetic Sports and complimentary healing traditions.

The Conference Centre

The Bahjatul Fu’ad Conference Centre will be where OCC courses, seminars and lectures are held, under a single roof. It will be a space of learning, discourse and the exchange of knowledge and ideas. And, where adults find a wealth of opportunities for personal, intellectual and spiritual growth.

The conference centre will also offer office spaces and a conference hall for hire. It will host the lectures of visiting academics and scholars and facilitate a wide range of public and social events including functions, workshops and training sessions.
