History
From its very inception the Islamic Foundation has sought to develop better relations with other faiths. Its policy has been to find common ground between people of faiths, particularly between Muslims and Christians, on the ethical and social levels.
In 1973, the Islamic Foundation carried out a feasibility study to establish a project on Inter-Faith and Christian-Muslim Relations. Whilst the study was in progress the staff of the Islamic Foundation were already engaged in participation and formation
of two important organisations. One, the ‘Standing Conference of Jews, Christians, and Muslims in Europe’ (JCM); the other was its role in the formation of ‘the Centre for the Study of Islam and Christian-Muslim Relations’ (CSIC) in Birmingham. Once the study was completed financial support was sought from Muslim individuals and Institutions and in 1977 the Foundation’s Board of Trustees agreed to establish the ‘Inter-Faith Unit’. In July 1978 two staff joined the Unit on a full time basis.
