ISLAMIC SOCIETY OF BRITAIN

Business Description

The Islamic Society of Britain is a not for profit community based organisation. We are one of the largest national networks of British Muslim volunteers, who come from a broad range of professions and bring their skills to the Society.

Our aims are:
To promote greater understanding and awareness of Islam
To organise, educate and enhance the development of British Muslim communities
To encourage positive contribution to British society and the promotion of social justice

Every two years, members directly elect the President along with a National Policy Board (Shura) that overlooks the direction and policies of the organisation. A National Executive overlooks the operation and delivery of projects. Locally, members also elect a Branch President and set up working committees to direct local voluntary work.

The Islamic Society of Britain has played an important and positive part in how British Muslims think about their faith. Some of our innovative activities often broke new ground, emboldening and empowering many others to create projects of their own.

The Islamic Society of Britain views Islam as a religion of peace and a continuation of age-old teachings from God to humanity. Not as a new religion, but as a way of life that has a strong focus – in spiritual terms on the worship of one God, and in social terms on justice and equity between people.
