My friend Ataullah Siddiqui, who has died aged 66 of cancer, was a leading scholar on Islam and a figurehead of interfaith relations in Britain.
He migrated from India to Britain in 1982 to take up a research fellowship in interfaith relations at the Islamic Foundation in Leicester. While lecturing, writing and editing, he completed a PhD from the University of Birmingham in Christian-Muslim dialogue in 1994. It was at a Muslim students conference at the University of Sheffield in 1988 that he met Colette Alia (nee Emson), and they married the following year.

What does it mean to be a Muslim in Britain?
Secondary school pupils are sharing their thoughts about what it means to be a Muslim in Britain, thanks to free teaching and learning resources developed at Cardiff University.
Discovering Muslims in Britain is a programme of nine lessons based on cutting-edge sociological research, giving Key Stage 3 students insights on what practising Muslims experience in their day-to-day lives.
Incorporating first-hand accounts from a range of sources, the resource is based on the Islam-UK Centre’s successful Muslims in Britain Massive Open Online Course (MOOC). Academics are also supporting RE teachers by designing an accompanying CPD course, which will be delivered in January 2021. Deadline for applications is 16th December 2020.
