Understanding Islam Uk - Www.Uiuk.Org

UIUK is a non-political, non-sectarian registered charity based in Manchester but also operates from Bradford.

In this increasingly divided world, UIUK provides a platform for partnership to work towards a better understanding of God’s guidance.

We are non political, non sectarian Islamic organisation who invites Muslims and non Muslims alike, to our seminars and study circles, in learning together, in a tolerant, respectful and friendly atmosphere.
Our long-term vision is to become a credible voice on Islam locally and globally, to reduce the influence of sectarianism and, finally, to rehabilitate the Muslim ummah and its relationship with non-Muslims. We believe this is only possible through establishing the supremacy of the Qur’an and by giving all Muslims the basic tools to understand their religion. Our community-based presence is aimed at promoting civilised dialogue so that conversations about religion become open, rational and respectful. We welcome Muslims and non-Muslims to our events.

Our work focuses solely on sound religious education.
We are inclusive and encourage female and family participation. Our events are multi-ethnic and non-segregated. We welcome people from all walks of life with diverse views and schools of thought who are interested in Islam.
We hope to empower Muslims to approach the Qur’an and Sunnah with confidence and open-mindedness. Our academic and inclusive approach is aimed at inculcating the spirit of enquiry with the aim of uniting Muslims around the core of Islam: the Qur’an and Sunnah.

We believe that by placing the Qur’an firmly at the centre of our work and developing a good understanding of Qur’anic values and worldview, we will be able to contribute to intellectual revival in the Muslim world.

We are unbiased seekers of the Truth. We hold all scholars of Islam and schools of thought in high esteem and are very clear that we will only accept an interpretation which is the closest to the Quran and Sunnah regardless of where this interpretation comes from. We believe that there is no compulsion in religion and Muslims and non-Muslims are free to seek the Truth in their own way. We put forward no claim to be the exclusive holders of the Truth.
