# Al-Manar Centre Trust
Al-Manar Centre Trust is a Cardiff-based Muslim community organisation and registered UK charity established in 1992. Operating from CF24 4AN, the centre serves the local Muslim community and wider population through religious education, spiritual development and practical community support.
The organisation provides comprehensive Islamic instruction across all ages, including Qur'an recitation classes, Arabic language tuition, and Islamic history studies. Their programmes range from children's after-school Qur'an classes and a dedicated "Children's Oasis" learning centre to advanced tafseer (Qur'anic interpretation) circles for adults. Gender-specific offerings include sisters-only Qur'anic circles and self-defence training for women.
Beyond religious education, Al-Manar Centre functions as a genuine community hub. They operate a foodbank providing emergency parcels to vulnerable elders, offer an advice service for personal matters, and run the Muslim Mentors Service providing guidance and support. Youth engagement is prioritised through their Youth Empowering Club, whilst community cohesion is fostered via social events and the Masaajid Unified Table Tennis Tournament.
What distinguishes Al-Manar Centre is their holistic approach—blending spiritual nourishment with practical welfare support. As an independent charity relying entirely on public donations, they remain deeply embedded in Cardiff's Muslim community while welcoming broader engagement through their "Discover Islam" programme and open mosque visits.
