"O
Mankind! We created you from a single pair of a male
and a female, and made you into nations and tribes that
you may know one another (not that you may despise one
another). Verily the most honoured of you in the Sight
of God (Allah) is the one who is the most righteous
of you. And Allah has full knowledge and is well-acquainted
with all things."
(Translated meaning of the Holy Qur'an Chapter 49 Verse
13)
| RAHMA
are an independent, non profit-making, campaign
and advocacy organisation based in Wales, UK.
We foster links and work in partnership with different
organisations both Muslim and non-Muslim, to campaign
for justice for all regardless of their racial,
religious background. |
RAHMA
was formed as a result of the shocking findings of the
IHRC report into hostility and religious discrimination
against British Muslims. We at RAHMA believe in , and
are committed to, a just and tolerant multi-cultural
and multi-faith Britain. In order to achieve this, the
kinds of unacceptable behaviour highlighted in the report
targeting ethnic minority communities identifiable by
their faith and made vulnerable by current legislation,
or lack thereof, need to be challenged whenever they
occur and ultimately eradicated from civilised society.
RAHMA
was established in Swansea (South Wales) UK to assist
the Muslim community in opposing incidents of hate,
violence and discrimination, which are motivated by
Islamophobia, in an organised manner. We now have grass
roots volunteers monitoring Islamophobia throughout
South Wales and interest expressed by individuals in
the Mid and North of the country to widen the organisation’s
reach to these areas. We also aim to bring to the attention
of policy makers, service providers, the police and
racial equality organisations, the very real problem
of Islamophobia and victimisation of the Muslim community
within the UK as a whole.
