Join the UK Faith@Work network this Thursday for a fascinating presentation by Rania Mohiuddin-Agir, Research Associate with the Institute for the Impact of Faith in Life (IIFL), on their report that examines the diversity of British Muslims and the relationships they have with Britain today. The study combines quantitative and qualitative analysis, based on a poll of 815 adult British Muslims commissioned by IIFL and conducted by Whitestone Insight (a member of the British Polling Council), as well as a series of interviews with a smaller sample of British Muslims, who were asked about the findings of the survey and wider topics.
The objectives of this study were two-fold. Firstly, the report highlights the varied perspectives within British Muslim communities, allowing them to share their personal experience of Islam and the way it impacts their identity and social ties. Secondly, the report informs anyone seeking to understand the contribution of British Muslims to wider society and some of the key issues which shape Muslims’ daily lives in Britain.
