Al-Nasr Trust, the charity, was founded in 1992 in Slough, UK to improve the understanding of Islam among non-Muslims and to encourage Muslims to take a more active role in society.  It provides information from an Islamic perspective and has over the years earned a worldwide recognition for its work.

We are dedicated to addressing the needs of Muslims, offering one-to-one advice and building an awareness of the tenets of Islam among local authorities.  Al‑Nasr Trust is a non-profit making organisation and a registered charity. Strictly non-political, we aim to encourage the unity of humankind and dispel common myths surrounding Islam.

Al‑Nasr Trust has two primary objectives: Firstly, to present Islam to the community as a friend concerned about the welfare of the entire community.  Secondly, to help meet the special needs of the large amount of Muslim residents in the area.

Concerning the former, Islam has been and to some extent still portrayed and seen, incorrectly, as a threat and an adversary to the ‘Western’ way of life. This has been more the case since Gulf War crisis, the post-Rushdie controversy, the World Trade Centre and compounded by the September 11th incident.

The situation is not helped by the Media; more often than not, presenting violent, antisocial and distorted image of Islam and Muslims. 

In part owing to above attitudes of mutual mistrust, misunderstanding and in part in response to negative attitudes towards them, Muslims Asians have developed a form of ‘ghetto’ mentality.  This often means in moments of crisis they may not benefit fully from traditional sources of help.  This is more the case when dealing with issue relating to women and family.

Because of the particular nature of Islam as a total way of life, the younger generation of Muslims are often in a state of confusion and conflict in meeting their religious and family obligations within an environment with a relaxed attitude for an individual’s responsibility towards society.  To honour these often conflicting obligations without compromise to their religion, may impose upon them many seemingly difficult adjustments and tensions.  For this, they deserve understanding, respect and most of all guidance from Muslims to the correct path.
