ABOUT US

The publication of Islam Beliefs and Teachings in 1980 with almost all basic aspects of Islam has been the most significant achievement of the Trust since its establishment in 1966. 254,000 copies of this book, which is now in its 7th edition, has so far been printed in English. It has also been translated into Romanian, Chinese, Norwegian, French, German and Bengali. This book has contributed to the conversion of scores of non-Muslims to Islam. All praise is for Allah (Alhamdulillah). It is also widely used as a basic reading for the English-speaking new Muslims all over the world.

The Trust's another significant milestone was the preparation of a mode 3 syllabus for Islamic studies in 1983, which was upgraded to mode 2 in 1986. Seven years after this, the Trust succeeded in preparing a mode 1 syllabus (mainstream syllabus) in 1993 and got it approved by the then ULEAC (University of London Examinations and Assessment Council now called Edexcel. The syllabus went through the rigorous security of the SEAC (Secondary Examination and Assessment Council, now replaced by the QCA (The Qualification and Curriculum Authority).

Succeeded in persuading the Local Education Authorities (LEAs) in the UK to recognise and accept special needs of Muslim Pupils in Schools eg. dress for Muslim Girls, halal food, exemption from mixed swimming lessons, appropriate dress for P.E. for Muslim boys and girls, exemption from those parts of sex-education where explicit sexual material (video, film etc.) are shown, facility for wudu and prayer at schools with substantial number of Muslim pupils and keeping Islamic books in the school library.
