The Islamic Foundation welcomes International Women’s Day this year by remembering the Islamic values related to the dignity of women. The Qur’an, which Muslims believe to be divinely revealed sacred scripture, came at a time when women suffered from considerably diminished social standing.
The Islamic Foundation mourns the loss of over 70 souls in Pakistan. A suicide bomber claimed by a splinter group of Pakistan’s Taliban targeted a crowded park in Lahore on Easter Sunday, injuring over 300 besides the massive loss of innocent life. This cowardly act may have been symbolically targeted against Christians, yet the majority of those who died were Muslim.
The Foundation has actively furthered its connection with the local community by inviting Markfield village residents to our site for a tour and a cup of tea.

The Islamic Foundation strongly condemns the brutal killing of tourists in Sousse, Tunisia, many of whom from were Britain. There can be no justification in Islam for such a heinous crime. These innocent victims were given promise of safety and protection by the government and Muslims of Tunisia to spend their holiday. Their protection is an Islamic duty.
