ANNUAL REPORT
Objectives
To educate the Muslim and non-Muslim public in the religion of Islam and the culture and morals of the Muslims according to traditional Sunni teachings. To establish educational programmes that protect our communities from religious extremism and radicalisation.
Charity Structure and Legal Status
The AICP CIO was registered with the Charity Commission on 28 July 2015 as Charitable Incorporated Organisation (Foundation). The AICP’s objectives and powers are set out in its Constitution.
Regional heads are in charge of activities in furtherance of the charities objectives. All expenditure and activities must be agreed with the Chairman and, if required, approved within committee meetings.
Principal Activities
AICP is part of a global movement working towards a just and harmonious society. We have two principal aims: first to educate people of all backgrounds about Islamic culture and morals, and second to warn against violent extremists who contradict these teachings. In our activities throughout the UK, we work towards establishing a Muslim community that contributes to the betterment of society. Our organisation has a long history of fostering good relations with our non-Muslim neighbours and we continue to work towards the goal of a peaceful and productive society.
The members of the AICP are diverse in their backgrounds and we embrace a wide range of nationalities and cultures. We have well-established programmes aimed at educating new Muslims in the practice of their faith. We have established Sunday schools where we educate children and adults about Islamic culture and history in order to dispel misconceptions that have been encouraged by misguided groups.
From the beginning, our organisation has been deeply conscious of the problems that are faced by the Muslim community. We have monitored with alarm the rise of deviant groups that have misguided a minority of community-members and encouraged them to become involved in a range of anti-social behaviours. We have a long history of educating people of all backgrounds in the evils of such groups.
AICP UK believes that the key to dealing with this crisis is empowerment through learning. Students leave our classes equipped with the tools that they need to protect themselves and their families from the contagion of deviant propaganda. The religious knowledge that we impart is derived from the soundest scriptural sources.
Activities and events:
In the current year there has been no activities for AICP CIO as the transfer from the previous charity has not taken place. This will hopefully be completed in the near future.
