Our Head Imam

Imam Tanweer memorised the Qur’an by the age of 13 before completing six years of traditional Islamic scholarship at Madinat al-ʿUlūm al-Islāmiyya in Kidderminster, where he received ijaza (authorisation) in multiple Islamic sciences.

He then pursued a one-year specialisation in Islamic jurisprudence at Jāmiʿat al-ʿIlm wa’l-Hudā in Blackburn, training under senior UK-based muftīs within a Dār al-Iftā’.

He is currently in the final year of his Master’s degree in Islamic Studies at the University of Birmingham, while serving as Head Imam and leading the Muslim community of Weston-super-Mare.
