About 5Pillars News

5Pillars is Britain's most prominent Muslim news website where you can read and watch all the latest Muslim news, opinion and analysis from home and abroad.

It’s our belief that 5Pillars has the following unique attributes that no one else can match:

Independence

We are financially independent and that means that we are editorially independent.

Quality journalism

This site is run by people with journalistic pedigree. We are not amateurs playing at journalism, disrespecting the trade. We’ve been there and we’ve done it.

We have great contacts in the UK and around the world; we know many of the main players and actors in the Ummah.

Grassroots focus

This site will always prioritise the common man over the rich and powerful – they already have the rest of the media on their side after all. So we aim to reflect what people are saying on the ground, however uncomfortable that may be, and not just in the corridors of power.

Non-sectarian

We strongly feel that the Muslim community is being divided on sectarian lines and that this is driven more by politics than theology. We believe a divided Ummah fighting each other is an Ummah destined for failure. Therefore, this site will do its best to represent all Islamic traditions fairly and without prejudice.

Anti-imperialistic

We believe that Western foreign policy is the main cause of the disasters afflicting the Muslim world. Yet we also believe strongly that the Ummah should be prepared to look at itself in the mirror and ask difficult questions.

Islamic ethos

We remain committed to an Islamic ethos so any overt contraventions of Islamic etiquette will not be tolerated on this site.
