Charity Commission inquiry

The Charity Commission opened a statutory inquiry into the Abdullah Quilliam Society to investigate potential misconduct and mismanagement by trustees following the posting of a video deemed potentially inflammatory and political. The Commission issued an Order under section 84A of the Charities Act to prohibit the charity from hosting events or posting content that does not further its charitable objects.
The report states the inquiry was opened due to concerns about misconduct/mismanagement following a video that may not further the charity's objects.
“The investigation is launched after the charity posted a video to its social media channels in June 2025, whose contents may not have furthered the charity’s objects could potentially be considered political, divisive and inflammatory.”
The report details specific allegations made in the video regarding government members and the Commission.
“The video suggested that named senior members of the Westminster Government were acting improperly and had received donations from the “Israeli lobby” and that the Commission was also being unduly influenced to ‘silence’ trustees.”
The report notes previous regulatory engagement and an Official Warning issued earlier in the year.
“The Commission’s concerns are aggravated by previous engagement with the charity over the content of sermons and speeches at its premises, which culminated in an Official Warning issued against the charity on 12 June of this year.”
Per the Commission’s published report. Summary is automated; the official report is authoritative.
