Action in our community

Al-Nasr believes that we Muslims should take a fully active role in the broader community and contribute with our Islamic values to making a better society for everyone.  It does not matter if we are Asian, Arab, African or European we can retain our own traditions and cultures but as Muslims join together to act positively and constructively with the rest of society.

Life has many problems and people need practical as well as spiritual help to deal with these problems and for this reason Al-Nasr has since its formation in 1992 carried out a diverse range of work in the community such as: 

  • Guidance, counselling and advice on a range of issues including domestic disputes, family problems, drug abuse, forced marriages, women’s rights etc.
  • Practical help with statutory forms, hospitalisation and funeral issues, community service hours for offenders, prison visits.
  • Provision of a unique and free library service which neutrally reflects all Islamic schools of thought
  • Provides a leaflet service covering a wide range of issues on both spiritual and practical issues in Islam.

We have also provided new organisations with help in starting up and have assisted statutory bodies and agencies when they have requested us do so.

Welcome to Al-Nasr trust

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.

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.
