Imaan

Imaan is a volunteer-led charity that supports LGBTQI+ Muslims across the UK. Founded in London in 1999, they work to ensure that no one has to choose between their faith and their identity. They provide a safe, welcoming space for people to explore their sexuality or gender within the context of Islam.

The organisation is for anyone who identifies as Muslim and LGBTQI+, as well as their families and friends. They represent a wide range of Islamic traditions and backgrounds, helping people navigate the specific challenges that can arise where faith and queer identity meet.

Their services focus on building community and providing emotional support. They run online groups where members can share their stories and ask for advice in a private, supportive setting. They also offer guidance for parents who want to better support their LGBTQI+ children while maintaining their religious values.

Beyond direct support, Imaan campaigns for equality and works to bridge the gap between the wider Muslim community and LGBTQI+ people. By promoting peace and social justice, they strive to create a world where every LGBTQI+ Muslim feels included and valued within their family and their faith.
