Muslim Professionals require your help in supporting our members in this urgent matter: 1. Please try to participate in this event 2. The shortage of ulema willing to help or participate is causing a vacuum whereby individuals with lower levels of knowledge and appreciation are being placed in avenues where they direct policy and change in such organisations. If you know of ulema who are willing to help in the following areas please contact Br Abdul Wajid via e-mail: wajid@fosis.org.uk or Br Hanif at info@muslimprofessionals.org.uk www.muslimprofessionals.org.uk A website based in the UK to promote greater networking of Muslims to discuss ideas and experiences and work together for the ummah |
