Days and days, we have been waiting since the last year on the birthday anniversary of Imam Ali (PBUH), where all prayed and requested to the Almighty Allah, who mysteriously opened His Ka’ba in the respect of the birth of the Commander of the Believers, to grant us another opportunity of celebrating such great man’s birthday anniversary. And here it is approaching us on 26th of June.
Words cannot describe such pleasure; but the heart of Shia can feel that and fill it out of his love and passion on his attitudes. The pens are inkless when they are to scratch the papers on who such noble person is.

It is worth mentioning that the SatNav set may direct you to another point (‘A’ on the map picture below) close to the centre but not the exact centre location. To prevent this, you may try the address ‘Heyworth Street, Liverpool’ on your SatNav which will probably direct to a point just 150 feet down Cochrane St.

Liverpool Tawhid Centre
The Cultural Affair Section of Iran Consulate in the UK owns some centres under Tawhid Charity which is supported and managed by the above-mentioned organ. Having some centres around the UK, Tawhid Charity has got one in Liverpool. These buildings are normally gathering point for Iranians, and a place for holding their religious and national/ traditional events. The building in Liverpool known as ‘Liverpool Tawhid Centre’ has been provided several years ago; however, being primarily an old building, it had lost its serviceability in course of time so that in the recent years, Iranians were less interested to hold the events there due to issues like security, health, cleanliness, etc. Consequently, the building had changed into some sort of a forgotten one.
In order to activate the building, some of the Iranian students tried to run weekly lectures with inviting lecturers from other Islamic centres like those of Manchester and Birmingham. However, the building needed essential repair and cleaning, as the guests were not feeling comfortable during the events. Negotiations with the responsible people in Iran Consulate did not work, as it was believed that the building was too old to be worth spending money for. The actual idea of such negotiation was to make the building ready for the holy month of Ramadan 2009 so that people living in Liverpool could run their events like ‘eftaari’ in the centre when they could not run it at their own house due to the shortage of space. Also, events like Qadr Nights, birthday and mourning ceremonies of Ahl al-Bait (PBUT) could be performed by the centre itself. Anyway, the building got lost again for several months, as the students were hoping to get some financial helps to relocate the place of Liverpool Tawhid Centre. After months and months, did neither money turn up nor any new place offer.
Again, Imam Hussain’s Muharram created the energy, as “there is a heat in the heart of the faithfuls for martyrdom of Hussain (PBUH), which will never get cold till the resurrection day”. Some Iranian students decided to refurbish the current building very quickly so as to run Imam Hussain’s mourning events in Liverpool in Muharram 2009. These servants of Imam Hussain (PBUH) worked really hard, day and night, to make the centre ready. Though narrow, a stream of financial support turned up from the Iran Consulate, and the guys spent that money so nicely to cover all the needs of the guests of Imam Hussain (PBUH) at the events.
After nearly 10 days of drastic work, the building became fully refurbished, cleaned and decorated for Muharram events. They also could encourage some of the Iranian residents in Liverpool to give hand in completing the mission. Those who have already seen the nasty condition of that old place can easily imagine what big effort should have been made to make it ready for a proper programme. Five mourning ceremony were held successfully with Ziaarat Ashura, lecture, dirge (noha) and perfect supper which was granted by some of residents.
Now, this centre is ready for use, and Liverpool Tawhid Centre manager is very keen to let the Shia people – not necessarily only Iranians – to run their religious programmes there, and thus, hereby, the manager invites Shia people to use the facilities of this centre in Liverpool for the sake of their religious events. The building is totally secured with CCTV, and is perfectly clean and well furbished. Also, the building enjoys a private parking lot off the main road. Kitchen and other basic facilities complete the service list of the centre. Bus service number 17 commutes frequently enough from Queen Square Bus Station at City Centre up to the Everton, HEYWORTH STREET (N-bound) bus station which is just a few steps up the building.
For those who want to visit the building or wish to refer to the building site, the address of the centre is as follows:
Cochrane Street
Heyworth Street
Liverpool
L5 4LJ
