Mufti Zubair Butt, at the National Burial Council, Compassion in service isn't just good practice—it's a core tenet of Islamic teachings. Rooted in the Prophet Muhammad's example, it transforms how we care for others.

Remembering Dobbirul Islam, a British Muslim. He raised more than £420,000 for the NHS and other charities during Covid. A true example of selfless service. May Allah grant him peace.

Young people are speaking out on the harm of social media. A thoughtful reflection on why raising the access age to 16 is long overdue. If you want to do ONE thing to help future generations - make it this please It is rare that there is a single legislation that can have such a decisive impact on our children’s future, but inshaAllah will. 📵 Raising social media access age to 16 ✅ 💪 Improved physical health ✅ 🧠 Improved mental health ✅ 🤲 Improved spiritual health Please take action & contact your local MPs, the PM and start restricting use within your own families. The evidence is overwhelming, the benefits likewise. Your MCB Team Unite | Empower | Serve Full statement 👉 bit.ly/3LDp7JK Substack article 👉 bit.ly/3NxL39M

It’s time to protect future generations and support healthier, safer digital lives. Dr. Wajid Akther, Secretary General of the MCB calls the "British Muslim community to lead by example – tell their children social media isn’t safe for them until they are 16 years old" Full Statement 👇 🔗 loom.ly/W9M8sW0

Mission: Visionary 2050 – Take Off! 🚀 The Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) has officially launched the first cohort of the Visionary Programme, a pioneering initiative designed to equip emerging leaders with the skills and insight to drive positive change across society. From over 100 applications, 32 participants were selected to join the inaugural programme, representing a diverse range of backgrounds and expertise from across the UK — including Belfast, Cardiff, Glasgow, and towns and cities throughout England. The induction session began with an interactive Human Bingo activity before participants received an overview of the MCB’s mission and the Visionary model outlining the programme’s purpose, approach, and objectives. We were delighted to welcome Deputy Secretary General Maswood Ahmed (@MaswoodAhm32148), who shared valuable insights into the MCB’s work, vision, and ongoing efforts to strengthen British Muslim communities. 💫 The day also featured breakout sessions: •The Public Affairs group, led by @LotifaBegum and @Abdualla Alamun and explored campaign strategies, beginning with the policing campaign. •The Digital Communications group, facilitated by Dr Wajid Akhter and Hanan Fischer, brainstormed approaches to effectively deliver campaign messages across digital platforms. The session concluded with Hasan Salim Patel offering a thought-provoking reflection on innovative communication in today’s rapidly changing environment. The MCB looks forward to working closely with this talented group of emerging leaders as part of its commitment to nurturing changemakers and shaping a shared vision for the future — Vision 2050. 🌍✨ A heartfelt thank you to our supporters — @NationalWaqf Fund and @IslamicReliefUK — for making this programme possible through their continued support and partnership. #MCB #Visionary2050 #Leadership #Changemakers #CommunityImpact #DigitalLeadership #PublicAffairs #FutureLeaders #MuslimCommunity #Inspiration

Dr Sahira Dar, President of @brithsima It's not easy, but it's important to be fully Muslim, own your identity, and carry it with dignity. Be excellent and let that speak for itself. Allah is watching.

This is deeply disingenuous by @BoardofDeputies. Damien Egan's constituents voiced their concern at his role as Vice Chair of Labour Friends of Israel, not at his Jewishness. The Board may wish to reflect carefully on the language it uses, and the use of half truths, particularly where it risks echoing divisive political commentary.
"it is nothing short of outrageous that a Jewish MP was prevented from speaking to pupils at a school in his constituency because of pressure from NEU members" - @PhilR_R
