Organised by the Islamic Education and Research Academy (iERA), Muslim organisations from across the UK attended this inaugural convention to network, share knowledge and strategise on spreading Islam effectively.
iERA trustee Saqib Sattar addressed the attendees, highlighting the rise of Islamophobia and far-right narratives in the UK. Despite these challenges, he emphasised the opportunity to reframe the narrative and invite people to Islam.
He said: “I want you to imagine we have a situation where we have hundreds of community groups, masasjid, dawah organisations engaging in impactful and effective dawah on a consistent basis. Where the dawah is flourishing and where the new Muslims are coming to Islam and they are thriving. Imagine the impact that would have. Potentially it could be transformational.
Founded in 2009 by the world-renowned preacher, Shaykh Abdurraheem Green, iERA has converted 201,288 people to Islam across over 100 countries last year.
