Those of you who work in schools or have children in schools may have noticed that the literature on Muslims used in RE lessons isn't too great...particularly in secondary schools. Very little is known about the inspiring Muslim role models of our society, like Dr Hany El Bana, founder of Islamic Relief. Working very hard to improve the Islamic-based literature in our schools, author Suma Din has recently released a biography about Dr Hany himself, the first in a series of biographies about Muslim role models that will be used in our schools insha'Allah. The biography is also an extremely interesting read for adults, detailing his journey towards establishing the widely recognised and highly active charity that is Islamic Relief.
