The Middle Community organised a groundbreaking event this December – Birmingham’s first-ever Muslim Unity March. With growing calls for religious harmony, this historic gathering aimed to bring together Muslims from all backgrounds in a united stand against sectarianism.
The march, scheduled for Saturday 14th December 2024, began outside Lidl on Soho Road in Handsworth at 12:30pm. What made this event particularly significant was its core message of unity, embodied in our powerful rallying cry: “One God, One Prophet, One Book, One Ummah.”
This grassroots initiative represented a crucial moment for Birmingham’s diverse Muslim community. We emphasised that all Muslims were welcome, reflecting our commitment to breaking down barriers and fostering understanding between different Islamic traditions.
The march offered an opportunity for meaningful dialogue and connection, something that felt especially vital in today’s world.
The hashtag #JUSTMUSLIM was used to build momentum and share updates about the march on social media.

This event promised to be more than just a march – it represented a powerful statement about unity, understanding, and the strength of community bonds. We hoped that this would be the first of many more marches throughout Birmingham and the UK.
