Ninth Annual Ibn Rushd Lecture:
The History of Muslim Women in Britain
by Professor Sariya Cheruvallil-Contractor


Less than a week to go until our summer centrepiece Ibn Rushd lecture.  We will also be celebrating the 50th edition of Critical Muslim and announcing the 2024 awardee of our Community Empowerment Fund (with the HFA). All followed by a delicious buffet and chance to chat.

Tickets free to the public but RSVP required.  Click here to RSVP. [Few tickets remaining]

6pm - 9pm, Monday 15 July 2024
at the impressive setting of the Art Workers' Guild, 6 Queen Square, London WC1N 3AT


This year's Ibn Rushd lecture will bring to life and honour the hidden histories of Muslim women in Britain.  Professor Sariya Cheruvallil-Contractor, editor of a groundbreaking new book on the subject, will reinstate Muslim women as actors, storytellers and storymakers who have shaped the history of Britain and of 'British Islam'. Full details here.



At the event, we will also be launching the milestone 50th edition of Critical Muslim, the acclaimed journal of the Muslim Institute. On the theme of Halal, CM50 offers a new perspective on everything from food to comedy to lifestyle to finance to music to ethics to sustainability to degrowth.  Copies will be available to purchase. Fellows receive complimentary copies. Become a fellow here

CM50 has a piece on the tumultuous birth of the Halal Food Authority in the early 1990s. To conclude the evening, we will be announcing this year's recipients of the Annual £10,000 Community Empowerment Fund launched last year by the Muslim Institute and the Halal Food Authority.
