Join us for The Creative Ummah: Religion through Contemporary Islamic Art.

Join us for an evening of live calligraphy workshops with Ismail Hussayn, and a 3 course meal at MGR's dinner event on Saturday 27th June at 7pm at Lal Qila in Manchester. 

Calligraphy is the most highly regarded and most fundamental element of Islamic Art. It is significant that the Qur’an, the book of Allah (swt) containing the revelations to the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), was transmitted in Arabic.

This charitable event is to increase awareness and raise donations for Syrian refugees in Lebanon and the people displaced in Gaza - this Ramadan they do not have the same food luxury as we do. Please help us to reach a thousand fasting Syrians/Gazans with £3 per person per meal, through this event. 

Tickets are £20pp or £180 for a table of 10.

Call our booking hotline: 01282 604055. Or buy from our office or nominated outlets. 

Not to be missed!
