Section C Objectives and activities

Muslims look at Imams (mosque leaders) as spiritual advisors and experts in Islamic law who are expected to shepherd community members towards the goodness of Islam by helping Muslims deepen their understanding of the Quran and Islamic law and also help individuals to understand the British law and culture.

Imam charity trustees understand that the root-cause of the problems that many Imams encounter are mainly due to the absence of solid academic background in Islamic principles which distance them from properly addressing issues that local community members face like hate related crimes, unlawful drugs, discrimination, Islamophobia, unemployment and mental health Summary of the objects of the issues. charity set out in its governing document On the other hand, many Imams lack a deep understanding of the fundamental values, culture and law of British society which make them incompetent to help Muslim community members to integrate into the society. We work diligently to provide high-quality training, educational workshops and continuing personal development services to imams across the UK and abroad so that those who involve in our training will lead the community to prosperity and productivity. Imams are pillars in the community that often bridge the gap between various demographics.
