About the Book

This book is the outcome of research into cultural awareness that has spanned over a considerable period of time. It will help those who work within education, or those working with the Muslim community in general. The aim is to provide introduction for non-Muslims who would like to know more about Islam and Muslims. The book also discuss equal opportunities, anti-racism, multi-culturalism, educational research and a variety of other topics related to education and training. It will be a useful document for all those who would like to know more about these subjects. The book was part of a research conducted at The University of Sheffield for an M.Ed. Programme. The language has been simplified in order to make it useful for a wider group of readers.
