Amid Rising Hate: How UK Muslims Lead in Charity
In the latest episode of ASLI Insights: Expert Series, Ibrahim Mohammed (@ibzmo ), Ambassador of the Aziz Foundation sheds light on a troubling rise in Islamophobia in the UK. Despite a 37% increase in religious hate crimes in 2022, with Muslim communities facing unprecedented challenges, there emerges a story of extraordinary resilience and generosity.
UK Muslims are setting remarkable examples of charity, contributing four times more than the national average across all income brackets. The Aziz Foundation (@azizfndn ) exemplifies this spirit. The foundation collaborates with prestigious universities like Oxford and Cambridge to provide scholarships and finance internships, ensuring young British Muslims are not exploited.
Projects like the UN Day to Combat Islamophobia, Ramadan Lights, and the development of a new Muslim prayer space in Piccadilly Circus, are testaments to the foundation’s commitment to fostering inclusivity and supporting the community.
As we confront these disparities, let’s amplify our support for initiatives that promote inclusivity, equality, and educational opportunities. Together, we can counteract hate and build a more equitable future.
