				We have been conducting Our training
				and teaching sessions which have
				moved online due to covid restrictions
				but continue to be available for the
				wider community to join in. These
				sessions are broadcast live on
				YouTube and stay on our YouTube
				channel for anyone to benefit from it.
				We have between 70 to 90 members	of
				public attending these sessions live,
				which take place three times a week.	In
				addition our YouTube channel
				subscription has surpassed hundreds,
				thus benefitting a wide range of public
				viewers. These sessions are focused
				on explaining the message of Islam in
				clear and simple terms to dispel any
				misconceptions about Islam and at the
				same time to develop positive
				community relations with a view to
				building stronger and safer
				communities across the country.
				Itwas perhaps this aspect ofour

These objectives in mind we have been	These objectives in mind we have been
able to produce about 50 small booklets
and the complete translation ofthe
Quran in English language, tailored to
the audience in UK. A complete
biography ofthe last messenger
Muhummed Pbuh has been compiled
as well in order to present the life story
ofthe Messenger for wider community
with a view to spreading awareness
about the true nature of his person thus
dispelling any misconceptions and
helping build stronger community
relations based on evidence and mutual
respect.
We have managed to develop good
relations with various community
organisations in order to form
partnerships for the furtherance of our
objectives. Our partners include the
central mosque of Birmingham, radio
salaam Birmingham, Airdrie Mosque	in
Scotland, FACIC a community
organisation in Scotland that works with
the local council to dispel
misconception about Islam by
organising community open days and
providing food bank and counselling
services to youth.
We provide all literature, pop up
exhibition stands, posters and other
printing material to FACIC to facilitate
the conduct oftheir activities. We are
open to helping all such organisations
up and down the country.
We have been providing literature and
copies of Quran to various prisons in
UK on request ofthe prison services.
This has opened another avenue of
public benefit by helping the prisoner
inmates on their road to rehabilitation
and identifying their spiritual needs with
a view to strengthening their self-image
and making them positive and
constructive citizens on their release.
