Muslim Aid - Oral History

Muslim Aid Oral History Archives 

Honour the Past, Influence the Present, Shape the Future 

Learning from our past enables us to shape the future. 

As part of Muslim Aid’s 40th anniversary commemorations, we are capturing the story of our past and present through a series of oral history interviews with former founders, CEOs, staff, and trustees who helped shape its journey.  

Interviews have been conducted by the Everyday Muslim Heritage and Archive Initiative.

Sadiya Ahmed and her team have recorded and archived over 250 oral history interviews, documenting the diverse experiences of Muslims in Britain and ensuring these voices are preserved for future generations.
