Mission

To make the UK a place in which revelation comes to life and believers develop and enhance their literacy and shar’ī competence. My aim is to advocate a lived monotheism, promote faith and godliness, champion the religion of Abraham, contribute to building an inspiring faith community, and intelligently articulate the functionalisation of what was revealed to Muhammad, Abraham’s descendent and God’s final messenger.
