# Shirley Muslim Association - Southwing SCCA
Shirley Muslim Association is a faith-based community organisation based in Croydon that provides Islamic religious education, spiritual guidance and social services for Muslim residents across South London. Operating as a registered SCCA (Scottish Charity and Community Association), they serve both men and women of all ages through structured learning programmes and regular religious observance.
The organisation distinguishes itself through its comprehensive, gender-separated educational offerings. They provide specialised Quranic instruction including Tajweed (proper recitation), Tafseer (interpretation) and Tilawah (reading), alongside structured Hifdh (memorisation) sessions exclusively for sisters aged 13 and above. Their "Journey Through Riyad As-Saliheen" programme offers Islamic ethics and jurisprudence study, whilst the "Sisters ILM Circle" focuses on the lives and teachings of women in Islamic history.
Beyond education, Shirley Muslim Association facilitates five daily congregational prayers with particular emphasis on Friday Jum'uah services. They distribute monthly prayer timetables to help the community align their worship with accurate prayer times.
What sets them apart is their emphasis on community-driven service delivery—their motto reflects this commitment to cooperative righteousness. Rather than operating as a top-down institution, they position themselves as a grassroots association providing structured religious education delivered by experienced practitioners. Their diverse programming caters to specific demographics, particularly women and young people seeking serious Islamic scholarship in an accessible, local setting.
