Islam Awareness Week Scotland is part of a UK-wide initiative of the Islamic Society of Britain since 1994. We aim to engage the people of Scotland of all faiths, and none, in achieving a greater understanding of Islam and celebrate the unity and diversity of Muslim Scots as an integrated part of the Scottish community. In 2014, over 30 Scottish Muslim organisations and institutions came together to organise a week of diverse, stimulating and reflective events that provided an opportunity to promote awareness of the many shared values of Islam, as well as the contributions made by Muslims to our world. www.iaw.org.uk |
Islam Awareness Week is coordinated by the Islamic Society of Britain (ISB) and is a collaboration of many organisations and institutions The ISB is a community based charity established in 1990. It was one of the first organisations that sought to evolve a uniquely British flavour to Islam. Its 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 We view Islam as a religion of peace and a continuation of age-old teachings from God to humanity as a way of life that has a strong focus on the worship of one God, justice and equity between people. www.isb.org.uk |
