The glorious month of Ramadan has come to an end and the celebration of Eid ul Fitr has arrived. May Allah bless you all and answer our prayers for the coming year. The month has seen a superhuman effort from MPACUK to ensure that the Israeli Blood dates and the Muslim shop keepers who sell them are exposed to their public; we have raised the bar when it comes to lobbying against the increase in terror legislation from 28 days to 56 days and we readied our election teams in preparation of an election being called.

We saw the signs that Muslims fasted, prayed, reflected and performed actions for the sake of Allah - not just MPACUK but many individuals and some groups. The seeds of change are beginning to flower, after years of weeding and cultivating the Ummah. Thank Allah the signs are beginning to show.

And so with that positive note, the MPACUK team and I wish you all Eid Mubarak and hope that Allah’s blessings continue to be given to you all in great abundance.

On this joyous occasion, as we don our new clothes, eat sumptuous meals and receive lavish gifts, we also need to spare a thought for those less fortunate than us. Those who live under occupation with their land consficated, the mothers who are watching their children die in front of them and those who exist under tyrannical regimes. We must be truely grateful for what we have.

MPACUK would also like to give special thanks to all those who have donated some of their Zakat to MPACUK. Without your generous contributions we cannot do the work we do, and those who helped out in our campaigns, without you we couldn't have half the fun we did.

Together we can make a difference and together we can prove we are the difference.
