ISLAMIC FORUM OF EUROPE: RESPONDING TO THE CALL
For hundreds of years Muslims have contributed to European culture, science,
education and arts. Over the last century Muslims from diverse backgrounds have settled in Western Europe; the majority, arriving with a basic understanding of Islam have had mixed fortunes. Some of the second and third generation are rapidly losing their identity - spiralling downwards towards crime and social degradation. Others are rediscovering Islam and are asserting an identity that is at ease with both Islam and living in Britain and Europe. Furthermore, a host of her people are entering Islam and making it their way of Life.
Islam offers a comprehensive system and the challenge to us all is to learn and embody the teachings of Islam and convey them to others in a wise, sensible and beautiful manner. Islamic Forum of Europe (IFE) helps to enable individuals to learn and apply the basic tools required to achieve this within a collective framework helping to develop the Muslim community and benefit the wider society.
"Has not the time come for the hearts of those who believe to be affected by Allah's reminder and that which has been revealed of the truth..." (57.16)

The Pilgrimage To Makkah |

|
Never have I witnessed such sincere hospitality and overwhelming spirit of true brotherhood as is practiced by people of all colors and races here in this ancient Holy Land, the home of Abraham, Muhammad and all the other Prophets of the Holy Scriptures. For the past week, I have been utterly speechless and spellbound by the graciousness I see displayed all around me by people of all colors.
