About Hizbul Ulama UK

Hizbul Ulama UK (The Society of Muslim Scholars in UK) and the Central Moon Sighting Committee of Great Britain established in 1403H/1984CE by Ulama-e-Deen of Britain . It is one of the most highly regarded Muslim Institutions in the United Kingdom. It is a leading guide to Muslim Organisations including Mosques for over 30 years. We have taken an active role in some of the most high profile issues affecting the community. The organisation consisting of leading Ulema (Islamic Scholars), are affiliated to the Deoband Islamic School in India, an institution that has produced some of the most outstanding Islamic scholars in the Indian sub-continent and abroad. Our work is dedicated to dealing with the spiritual and scholastic aspects of Islam and we actively promote Muslims participation in politics and media. Whilst guiding Britain’s Muslims on the spiritual, theological and ritual aspects their faith we also encourage them to live as equal members of a pluralistic modern Britain. Our leading role in the campaign against the blasphemous ‘Satanic Verses’ is well-documented and we helped establish the UK Action Committee on Islamic affairs and were at the fore-front in creating the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB).
In these times of rapid change both globally and locally, as Ulema (Islamic Scholars) we are actively striving to ensure that Muslims remain on the Siraat-al-Mustaqeem (The Straight Path) according to the practice of the Deen (al-Islam) as established by the Qur’aan and the example shown by Prophet Muhammad SAW. Part of our work also involves dating the monthly Islamic Calendar. This is based on actual naked eye moon sightings as ordained by Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and is completely Shar’iah compliant being free from any scientific pre-conditions or calculations .We are constantly improving this website and welcome suggestions.
