Abrar Platform on Islam in Europe
With Islam being the second largest religion in the UK and Europe, we are delighted to announce the launch of our new Policy Research Unit, Abrar Platform on Islam in Europe (APIE). APIE will address the challenges facing Muslim communities in the UK and Europe. With a focus on community-based research and analysis, our unit aims to provide a realistic and comprehensive understanding of the social, political, and cultural experiences of our respective communities.
APIE will provide policy makers, community leaders, and the public with insights and recommendations. We seek to find practical solutions, and promote equality, understanding, and mutual respect, in addition to exploring and promoting the voice of reason and compassion that Islam as a faith brings to the table of social debates in the contemporary world. We believe that a better understanding of Muslim communities in the UK and Europe is essential to building a more inclusive and harmonious society for all.
