Imagine if there were no interventions from Muslim Public Affairs Centre and other notable Muslim organizations during Firdaus Amasa’s hijab case. The hijab may have never been incorporated into the female lawyers’ uniform.

Imagine if there were no interventions from MPAC during the Islamophobic attacks against Muslims in the South-South (SS) and South-East(SE) of Nigeria. You may have never been aware of the horrors they lived through. Imagine MPAC did not take on the UK All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG), which demanded sanctions against Nigeria based on the false and sponsored narrative that Muslims were carrying out genocidal war against Nigerian Christians, persecuting Christians in Nigeria and restricting their freedom of religion, Nigeria would probably be under UK sanctions today. MPAC’s strong refutations to APPG on its sponsored report on Herders/Farmers Conflicts in Nigeria, where Muslim victims were rendered voiceless and invisible, was shown to be highly flawed and agenda-driven. Due to MPAC advocacy works on this matter, the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office of the British Government, based on the contents of our letter to the British Prime Minister highlighting the many flaws of the report, engaged with MPAC to address some of the concerns we raised against the report. The Office agreed with us that the narratives of an orchestrated genocidal war and targeted persecution were untrue.

In the last one year, we have referred a number of cases to the Nigerian Human Rights Commission on behalf of the Muslim community and got actions on them. We have been interviewed by the Nigeria Police Force and the DSS, based on petitions we wrote to each of them to report hate crimes against the Muslim community. These are only part of the works we do at MPAC to ensure we live in an inclusive society and rid our country of inequality and hate-motivated crimes.

Imagine if there were no research work to support our works at MPAC as a result of the unending cases of Hijab Bullying, Intimidation, Harassment and Discrimination in Nigeria, we won’t have been able to effectively evaluate the experiences of Muslim women wearing the hijab in Nigeria. Now, imagine if we can actually afford to operate a desk dedicated to in-depth research at the MPAC office, with the sole purpose of supporting and enabling our advocacy and policy works.

There is a global Islamophobia industry and locally, discriminatory policies, anti-Muslim sentiments and victimisations still exist but they are being confronted through your continued supports. With more resources we will not only be able to do more, the future of our advocacy works will be assured.

For more than 2 decades, we have been at the frontline, rising in Muslim defence and promoting their individual liberties as well as their religious, civil and political rights. MPAC has made a name for itself as a clearing house for Muslim public affairs issues, and as we seek to perform better and be more proactive, we need reliable partners like you.

Here https://mpac-ng.org/blog/ are some of the successful campaigns we launched over the years in the area of advocacy.

Imagine a nation without the Police, the firefighters, and the military! These are the works that MPAC and similar organizations do on behalf of the Ummah. And there is no way we can be called on to work if we are not funded and enabled. The same way that the Police, the firefighters and the military cannot work efficiently without adequate training, supply and resources.

So, imagine a Nigeria without MPAC. We will continue to work on the frontlines with you as our reliable partners. Empower us with your donations and Zakat (MPAC is Zakat eligible). We need you to help put fuel in the engine of these works. Donate generously this Ramadan and get rewarded in manifolds by Almighty Allah.
