Islam Unravelled.
Islam Unravelled is Al-Ihsan’s educational outreach initiative, launched in 2016 under the leadership of Mufti Aasim Rashid. It helps organizations and communities develop an informed understanding of Islam and the experiences of Muslims.
Learning across communities
Through workshops, seminars, orientations and presentations, Islam Unravelled creates opportunities for learning and thoughtful dialogue. Its work has reached schools, public agencies, service providers, businesses, faith groups and the wider community.
Practical understanding
Sessions explore Islamic beliefs and everyday practices alongside questions that arise in professional and community settings. Subjects have included supporting Muslim families, health and end-of-life care, business ethics, environmental responsibility, understanding Islamophobia and building relationships between neighbours.
Interfaith connection and anti-racism
The initiative’s history also includes work to strengthen relationships across faith and racial communities. In May 2021, the Province of British Columbia announced support for Islam Unravelled to bring groups together, build interfaith understanding and address shared concerns. This is a historical milestone, rather than a statement of current funding or partnership status.
