Mercy Oceans Dergah

Khidmah

Our Service

Service to creation, for the sake of the Creator, is at the heart of our Way. This is some of the good the community has been able to do.

01

Feeding everyone who comes

Every Thursday and Sunday gathering ends with food, served by our volunteers in the dergah's dining area. Nobody leaves the dergah hungry, whoever they are and wherever they have come from.

  • Brothers eating together after a gathering.
  • Guests sharing food in the dining area.

02

Feeding Palestine

Through the generosity of our community, the dergah sends regular donations to families in Gaza, handed over in person by our contacts on the ground and filmed and dated as each one is delivered. In Ramadan 2026 those donations cooked hot iftar meals for fasting families in the camps, night after night. At Eid the children celebrated with signs thanking the dergah and Maulana Shaykh Mehmet Adil, and through the year the money has gone to food and to clean drinking water for families who have lost almost everything.

03

Running for Palestine

Brothers from the dergah ran a marathon in Egypt to raise money for the people of Palestine, turning every mile into support for those in need.

Charity BBQs

Our volunteers fire up the grills outside the dergah and serve the community in the marquee. Guests pay for their food, and every penny raised goes to the upkeep of the dergah.

  • A volunteer cooking at the grill beside the dergah.
  • Volunteers serving food from the table outside the dergah.

Donation Policy

Every penny you give goes to the work of the dergah and the causes you give to. The dergah is run by volunteers, so nothing is taken out for wages.

“Be in the service of humanity is the best of services to Allah.”
