Hundreds of Muslims throughout the UK carried out community activities, from litter picking to visiting hospitals and making food packages, to mark Sadaqa Day, or Charity Day which was first organized in 2015.

“I think people feel more driven and motivated than ever before this year,” Julie Siddiqi, a women’s activist and the former executive director of the Islamic Society of Britain, told the media.

“For young Muslims, it’s a way of taking part in positive actions to show they are part of UK communities and they will not be defined by these terrible actions. They are not associated with us, it is not part of our faith, so our work today is even more important than ever.”
