A Muslim history of the UK

How one woman is creating space for an often untold alternative British history.

Sadiya Ahmed has been busy during Britain’s latest COVID-19 lockdown. She has produced a podcast, created a heritage photography competition, and is working on setting up a Muslim History module to run alongside the national curriculum. It is all part of this former tutor’s aim to ensure British Muslim history takes its rightful place within mainstream British history. “Muslims aren’t just on the margins of British society, but are part of British society,” she says.
