Objectives and activities
Reviving Souls is an initiative which aims to bring about revival through the realisation of Islam, Iman and Ihsan. This revival begins internally with the soul and encompasses every aspect of the human experience. It is manifested in the Prophetic Way of knowledge, devotion and service.
Reviving Souls is based in Edinburgh, Scotland but we welcome with open arms anyone from any background in any corner of the world.
Over the last year, the charity has held in-person and online events focused on the Islamic calendar.

Financial review
Although the charity has been active through the year, no income was received in the year. Thus, there is no income or expenditure to report.

Future plans
We will continue to offer the in-person and online classes in the coming year. Our plan is to open a bank account so that we can start receiving donations to cover future operational costs. We have chosen the Co-Operative Bank and we will begin the application process soon.
