Our Work

The projects that are currently undertaken by the UIUK, reflect its mission statement ‘Let’s work together in understanding God’s guidance’.

We are committed to our core values, of education, inclusiveness, unity integrity and humility.

Questions and Answers

In this section, we have attempted to provide answers to some of the very pertinent questions on religion in general and Islam in particular. The answers have been mainly derived from the website www.understanding-islam.com with the consent of its owner Mr Moiz Amjad.

Unfortunately,www.understanding-islam.com only acts as an archive website.We,at UIUK website,are keeping the answers alive by editing them where ever we disagree with the answers and making them easier for the readers to understand.We are guided by scholars who hold Quran and Sunnah as the basis of their opinion and are not associated with any particular sect. We dont claim to be holders of ultimate truth and actively encourage constructive criticism. We encourage our respected readers to also consult other sources where they feel our humble reasoning hasn’t stimulated or satisfied their inquiry. We strongly believe that we will be held accountable only for what we have understood to be the truth based on our sincere research.
