Our Aims


The ABM is a social or cultural, and not a political body; and Membership or Support is a cultural not an ethnic expression. We maintain that the "British Way-of-Life" and "British culture" can be compatible with Islam, and that all Muslims living in Britain should seek to realise this in their daily lives.

The aims of the ABM are:

a) to define a "British Islam" as an authentic cultural expression of Islam as a "system of life transactions";

b) to spread Islam among the British peoples, teach the Shari'ah, and improve the stock of knowledge of all;

c) to bring British Muslim muhtadiyin (those guided to Islam) and their families into the ummah (community of Muslims) and provide suhbah (instructive companionship) for them;

d) to represent the now British descendants of the immigrant Muslims;

e) to represent the particular interests, aspirations, and welfare of British muhtadiyin and to speak and act for them at any level, and in any forum;

f) to help the Muslim communities in Britain in any way in which British Muslims may be especially fitted.
