How can British Muslims reclaim their power in today’s society? What role does Zakat play beyond charity? And how do we respond to the growing challenges facing our communities?
In this thought-provoking conversation, political commentator Sami Hamdi and NZF CEO Dr Sohail Hanif walk through Bradford Plaza, discussing the key issues shaping the future of Muslims in Britain.
From the unexpected lessons in community finance found in Netflix’s Bank of Dave, to the anti-Muslim riots that shook the nation last summer, they explore the economic, political, and social challenges confronting British Muslims today.
Together, they discuss how Zakat, if properly mobilised, could serve as an economic tool for empowerment rather than just relief. They also tackle the lack of long-term political strategy in the Muslim community, urging a shift from crisis-driven reactions to sustainable change.
With Ramadan 2025 around the corner, this timely discussion is more than just talk—it’s a wake-up call for Muslims to rethink their approach to wealth, influence, and resilience in Britain.
