7. All the Masajid (Mosques) and in particular Jamia Masjid at Shelly Street and Kowloon Masjid, are big attractions for visitors from Government Departments and educational institutions in Hong Kong such as universities, colleges, schools, religious organizations and individuals who wish to learn more about Islam. Walk-in visitors and group visits are welcomed throughout the year. Recent declaration of Jamia Masjid as a Monument by the Government of HKSAR more visitors from all walks of life visit frequently at Jamia Masjid at Shelly Street. The visitors are looked after by our eminent Imams and members of Dawah Committee who provide information about Islam and its culture in English and Chinese.

We maintain close contact with the Home Affairs Bureau, the Police Department, the Correctional Services Department and others. In addition, the Trust also maintains good relations with numerous Consulates, LegCo members and many others. All these contacts have helped the Board of Trustees to run the Trust more effectively and be of service to the Muslim community living in Hong Kong.
 
To uphold its cordial relationship and as part of Muslim tradition the Trust invites various dignitaries including Government and Police Officials and Consul Generals to Iftar Dinner Function during the Holy Month of Ramadan which is very well attended. 
The operating results for the financial year 2023/24 showed an income of $6,940,300.39 and expenditure (with a designated fund transfer) of $9,285,225.60 leaving a deficit of $2,344,925.21.
 
Several essential projects were undertaken by the Trustees during 2023-24. More is impending with our ageing Masajid, Cemeteries and stabilization of slopes at Cemeteries which is a difficult and hilly area. An urgent appeal is made to all the Muslim organizations and individuals for generous support and financial assistance. Without public contribution the services at the Masajid and Cemeteries will not be possible. 
We heart-fully thank our constituent bodies for their continuous support and cooperation in all Trust matters. 
 
We gratefully acknowledge the donations from organizations and individuals especially Friday collections. We also receive annual dividends received from Allah Ditta Trust Fund and of Mrs. and Mr. Y.A. Wahab Trust Fund and the monthly contributions from Amsua Trading Company Ltd. and Keywin Trading Ltd. May Allah reward all of them for their generosity.
 
We are grateful to all our management committees, subcommittees serving at different Masajid, Muslim Ladies Volunteer Miyyat Washing Group working at the Muslim Cemeteries and to all brothers and sisters who helped as volunteers in functions and activities organized in the Masajid and Islamic centers. We also acknowledge the efforts of our Imams, Quranic Teachers, Management and Administrative Staff for their hard work and dedication in the past year.
