Right, my twitter friends, I need your help.

I need you to share this tweet far & wide around Britain.

I'm compiling the largest national survey on understanding Imams in the UK.

@MuslimCouncil @IlmFeed @IslamUKCentre Are you an imam or do you know one well? If so, we’d love to hear from you!

Working closely with mosques & council of mosques around Britain we are compiling an anonymised national research of imams & want you to complete a simple survey. It shouldn't take more than 5 minutes.

@MuslimCouncil @IlmFeed @IslamUKCentre Here is the link:

Here is a short video explaining the project:

@MuslimCouncil @IlmFeed @IslamUKCentre I know you will have questions. Which is great because I love questions.

What is the study about?

Imams play a significant role in Muslim communities, yet relatively little academic research has emerged about them.

@MuslimCouncil @IlmFeed @IslamUKCentre This project seeks to understand more about imams and their day-to-day work. We are doing this by speaking to different imams across the country and to other people who work with them.

@MuslimCouncil @IlmFeed @IslamUKCentre As a result, we hope that wider society will gain a better appreciation of the role imams play in modern Britain.

@MuslimCouncil @IlmFeed @IslamUKCentre Who are the researchers and who is funding the project?

The study is based at Cardiff University’s Centre for the Study of Islam in the UK.

@MuslimCouncil @IlmFeed @IslamUKCentre It is entirely funded by the Jameel Research Programme, a philanthropic organisation set up to improve understanding about Muslims in Britain.
