The opening as it read in 2015
UK Islamic Mission is an Islamic organization in the United Kingdom founded both to "serve the Muslim community", and as "an ideological movement" to "mould the entire human life according to Allah’s revealed Guidance". Founded by several members of East London Mosque in 1962, it has expanded to "about forty-five branches and circles in the UK and around thirty mosques and Madaris " according to its website. According to the British Muslims Monthly Survey, the group is "active with students, settled communities and in da'wah work" and is "inspired by the Jamaat-e-Islami party in Pakistan " and the "Islamic revivalist teachings of Abul A'la Maududi and others." Other sources confirm its links to Jamaat-e-Islami. However, BMMS also has stated that unlike Hizb ut-Tahrir , "UKIM has a long and distinguished reputation for building harmonious community relations wherever it operates." The group works to propagate Syed Maududi’s "ideology and works", but according to blogger Andy Hughes UKIM mosques are "more like a ‘franchise’" and staff of the mosques "are under no obligation to follow or promote a ‘Maududi style’ Islam".
