The opening as it read in 2010
The Islamic Foundation , established in 1973 in the city of Leicester , is a centre for education, training, research and publication of issues related to Islam . The Foundation seeks to build bridges between Muslims and others. The organisation was founded by Khurshid Ahmad , a senior figure in Jamaat-i-Islami . The Islamic Foundation's website states: "Islam doesn’t need liberalising. Continuous renewal is central to Islamic jurisprudence . Those who say that Islam should reform itself have misunderstood it," says Mohammad Siddique Seddon who is a Research Fellow at the Islamic Foundation. Such a question shows a misunderstanding of Islam and its relationship to modernity . As a phenomenon essentially of the Christian world, modernity has not affected the Muslim world to the same extent. The impact of the Enlightenment in Europe culminated in a separation between faith and reason. Secularisation publicly elevated the profane and relegated religion to the realm of the private." The Islamic Foundation runs and operates the The New Muslim Project . under White British convert, Batool Al-Toma . The Islamic Foundation is an affiliate of the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB).1
