Islam Courses and Events

Gladstone's Library runs a rolling programme of Islam themed courses and events aimed at a broad audience from non-specialists with a general interest in Islam to interfaith and community cohesion workers seeking to make a difference in their communities. We hope that Muslims and non-Muslims alike will find in these events a valuable space for reflection and discussion on issues that are meaningful for them.
