The
Party
The Islamic Party of
Britain began its work in 1989 with the purpose of encouraging public debate
about the Islamic alternative. Being the very first national Islamic political
organisation in the UK and the only Islamic political party in the non-Muslim
Western world, it has helped Muslims to gain confidence in the political
discussion, it has researched Islamic answers to contemporary issues and come
up with convincing policies on economy, environment, health, education, social
affairs, international relations, and many other aspects of modern life. It has
provided accurate, well presented information about Islam to the general
public, and many have found their way to Islam through its dynamic approach.
Giving the Muslims in Britain a voice
in matters relating to the future of British society features amongst the
objectives of the party, as does helping them to improve their planning and
organisation to improve their situation in a world ruled by forces prejudiced
with anti-Islamic sentiment. Its main efforts are, however, directed at the
majority of non- Muslims living in the West, who are to be offered practical
alternatives to the mounting problems of modern society and may be helped to
understand that as an ideology and way of life Islam is superior to the failed
ideologies of capitalism and communism.
Such encounter has to be public, and
this, not the desire for minority representation, is the party's motivation
when participating in local and national elections. It is entirely financed by
subscriptions and individual donations and is independent of any domestic or
foreign government or organisation. To continue its important mission, your
regular support is vital.
The Islamic Party of Britain
publishes a quarterly magazine called
Common Sense , containing
in-depth articles from an Islamic perspective on a different relevant topic
each issue. Annual subscription is free. However, If you don't have access to
the Internet a printed copy will cost you £10 annually (+£5 postage if outside
UK). Please send your subscription, or any other correspondence.

He
was born in 1959 in Heidelberg, Germany, where during his school

Sahib
Mustaqim Bleher is the Education spokesman of the Islamic Party of
Britain and holds an MBA in Educational Management. In his capacity
as Director of the former charity organisation Muslim Education
Services he contributed to the curriculum development and a joint
approach for Muslim schools and began his political activities in
Britain with a high-profile campaign to gain public recognition for
Muslim schools in the UK. The experiences during this campaign,
together with feed-back from other activities, led him and other
Muslims resident in the UK to the realisation that Muslims had
neglected the need for public advocacy of Islamic solutions and
lacked the political clout necessary to achieve recognition. In
order to focus on Islamic answers to the various problems of modern
Western society they formed the Islamic Party of Britain as the
first proper political expression of Islam in the UK, aiming to use
the political arena for the propagation of the Islamic model as well
encouraging Muslims to take up the task of shaping the future of the
society in which they live.
Sahib
Mustaqim Bleher is well known for his dynamic lectures at
universities and other events throughout the UK and abroad, as well
as numerous pamphlets, dealing with topics on education, Islamic
economics, politics, Muslim strategy and other issues of
contemporary interest. He is presently working on a plain language
English translation of the Qur’an.Amongst
the hobbies of Sahib Mustaqim Bleher is aviation. He holds a CAA PPL,
IMC and Night Rating, and an FAA Instrument Rating. Sahib Mustaqim Bleher is also a 5th Kyu in
