Partners

The Muslim Family Law Centre was developed out of a research project undertaken by its founder, Ridwaan Haris, who identified a need for a matrimonial service for couples where one of the couples was a Muslim and other was of a different faith. Given its no discriminatory approach to marriage and its aim to promote the institution of marriage, the Muslim Family Law Centre encourages inter-racial, interfaith and inter-sectarian marriages and is often seen as first choice for converts to Islam who wish to get married within the Islamic tradition. The organisation will look to expand its services, in partnership with other organisations, to provide the following:

Muslim Marriage Registration Scheme
Working towards the recognition of Muslim Marriages within the current UK legislation
Relationship counselling
Family Mediation
Muslim Divorces Tribunal
The Muslim Family Law Centre is committed to:

allowing Muslim women to contract their own marriage without the need of a walī
accepting gender neutral witnesses to a Muslim marriage
giving parity in divorce rights for spouses by incorporating the concept of ṭalāq al tafwīḍ in the marriage contract
Enabling the rights of the spouses to add other conditions to the marriage contract

A platform for bringing together and putting forward the different elements of Critical Muslim studies as a field of thought and study. Critical Muslim Studies is not confined to a single discipline, or scholarly work, or methodological approach. It is an epistemological orientation that starts from the idea that the hierarchy between the west and the non-west is no longer assured. Among its themes, it includes a critique of Eurocentrism and positivism and an engagement with decolonial and postcolonial thinking.

The ReOrient journal is the flagship journal of Critical Muslim Studies.

The Islamic Literary Society was founded in 2019 with the aim of promoting, fostering and developing a heightened appreciation of authors and literary works of classical and contemporary scholarship. This is accomplished by way of readings, book launches, talks by published authors and other speakers, critical reviews, events, online discussion and membership meetings. The aim is to encourage the revival of Islamic readership in our day to day lives and to increase literary awareness among ILS members and the general public.
