    British Muslim Civil Society Report

    Period of Incubation
    2013-2016
    Entity Focus

    The British Muslim Civil Society Report is a new venture by Mercy Mission UK in consultation with a coalition of civil society partners from across the country. The purpose of the report is to better understand British Muslim civil society and empower it to contribute to a more compassionate and united Britain.
    The report is the product of extensive on-the-ground research in the form of interviews, focus groups, and consultations. Through it we have tried to put our finger on the pulse of Britain’s Muslim community and learn about the challenges it faces.
    The lead researcher behind the BMCS Report, Dr Usaama al-Azami of the University of Oxford, spent the past year conducting research across Britain. Much of the report builds on a series of interviews and focus group discussions with community leaders and activists, conducted by Dr al-Azami both in-person and online. His report offers a vista into the workings of Britain’s Muslims and the invaluable social contribution they make to their communities through their faith-inspired civic-mindedness.
    ‘This report offers valuable insights into the wide-ranging contributions of Britain’s Muslim community to civil society. Britain’s Muslims are diverse, dynamic, energetic, and often young. As this report shows, they are frequently looking for ways to contribute. We hope this report drives the long-term and meaningful conversations that have so far been largely absent between policymakers across sectors and Muslim civil society organisations, which can improve lives and transform our communities’. Jehangir Malik, BMCS Project Director.

    The purpose of Zakat is ultimately to increase faith and devotion to Allah (God). It also acts as a social safety net for those in need and a means to uplift the entire community and help Muslims and Islam thrive. Zakat is a pillar of Islam and as such it works together with the other four pillars as a way of upholding and strengthening the religion, and NZF seeks to manage that process in the best way possible.

    What is Gift Aid?

    Gift Aid does not cost you a penny more, but can add an additional 25p to every £1 you donate. When Mercy Mission UK receives a donation from a UK taxpayer, we’re entitled to claim an amount of tax (calculated at the basic rate of income tax in that year) paid on that donation. Once you have given your permission for us to do this on your behalf, there is no need for you to do anything else.

    All that is required is that you must be a taxpayer and that would have paid or will pay sufficient Income and/or Capital Gains Tax to cover all the Gift Aid claimed on all your donations in that tax year. Please note that it is your responsibility to pay any difference.

    The amount of tax we claim will be 25% of the total value of your donations in that tax year. Furthermore, if you are a higher taxpayer, you are also entitled to claim the difference between the basic rate which we will claim and the amount of tax you have actually paid. For further details on how you can do this, please contact your tax office. If your tax situation changes and your gifts will no longer be eligible for the Gift Aid scheme please contact us and we will amend your record accordingly.
