This week we hosted an online meeting with Dr Usaama Al-Azami to discuss his latest research on British Muslim contributions to civil society. Published by Mercy Mission UK and titled ‘The British Muslim Civil Society Report’, the report offers a vista into the workings of Britain’s Muslims and the invaluable social contribution they make to their communities through their faith-inspired civic-mindedness.
Dr Azami’s report follows a year-long research exercise involving interviews and focus groups with Muslim-led organisations and others to capture the breadth of Muslim contributions and identify some of the challenges faced by Muslim faith-based actors in civil society.
