However, as the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be … Read More Ahmadiyyat: the Revival of Islam

Diamond: The Jewel Of Power And Love
Yusra Dahri, Tilford Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee this month brings me back to ten years ago, to her Diamond Jubilee in 2012. Back then, I didn’t really take much notice of the gemstone that had been added to Her Majesty’s metaphorical crown of time. All I really cared about was the fact that my school was doing a picnic.

Social Integration: The Key to Being British?
Ayesha Naseem, Blackburn ‘I also don’t think that enough is done to integrate and educate… immigrants, they need to integrate, as we have a different culture to others which we need to maintain.’[1] After reading this quotation during a history lecture recently, several thoughts crossed my mind. This quote was originally taken from a study done in 2004 about public attitudes and views about … Read More Social Integration: The Key to Being British?

Misled by the Mainstream
Nadia Ghauri, Bournemouth The narratives informing our views on the world are produced and perpetuated by media outlets, books, TV programmes, even our education system. It’s often the case that we unthinkingly embrace these viewpoints. However, we need to take a step back and adopt a more critical lens. Mainstream narratives frequently use language which divides, rather than unifies, society. Refugees, for example, are … Read More Misled by the Mainstream

As A British Muslim My Loyalties Need Not Be Divided At All.
Iffat Mirza, Raynes Park As a child, being a Muslim in the West meant seeing my friends gasp as I told them Christmas is just an ordinary day for me. It meant explaining to my friends that I’m content with not receiving presents at Christmas.
