The organisation said one of its areas of focus is the development of leadership skills among its members.
AbdulRauf outlined plans for leadership training opportunities that will equip members with the necessary tools to become effective agents of change within their communities.
He noted that such initiatives are crucial in ensuring that NASFAT members can contribute positively to the UK’s social and economic landscape.
Alhaji AbdulRauf also announced plans for digital Da’wah (proselytizing) efforts that aim to reach diverse audiences and promote the values of Islam in a contemporary context.
