The Muslim Institute is an independent Fellowship society of thinkers, academics, artists, creatives and professionals, funded by its Waqf – Trust – and the fees paid by its Fellows. It aims to support the growth of thought, knowledge, research, creativity and open debate within the Muslim community and wider society; and promotes community empowerment and self-reliance.
We are a community of Fellows dedicated to ideas and debate that places pluralistic, argued and considered positions in the public space. Through our events and activities, we provide a forum for critical thought, sharing of ideas, expertise and interests among our Fellows, the wider community and beyond.
The Institute engages both Muslims and non-Muslims, promoting a forward-looking identity and refreshing sense of universalism.Yasser Al-ZaiatJournalist & Muslim Institute Fellow
