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.
