There's plenty going on at Maslaha and we're working on a range of projects in health and education.
Health
Health comprises a major strand of Maslaha’s work, addressing a clear need for an accessible and authoritative source of practical information for those living in and working with the Muslim community. The health strand aims to tackle underlying causes of poor access and poor management of illness which can arise from distrust and misunderstanding of faith related issues.
Our work in health is strongly guided by an underlying principle of engaging and working closely with those directly involved in service delivery – community practitioners, nurses and patients – to gain valuable insight and create resources that can have a significant impact. Maslaha uses a wide range of tools in an innovative way to effectively bridge gaps in communication and understanding, including websites, film and printed material.
Education
In 2009 we kick started our work in education, which has allowed us to work with a wide range of inspiring teachers, experts and teacher trainers to develop both a source of information on Islam and its practice for teachers and educators and teaching materials which can help bring a better understanding of Islam into the existing curriculum and engage with Muslim pupils.
