The MINAB has come into existence due to the needs of the Muslim community in the UK.  The MINAB's aim is to facilitate good practice in mosques and Islamic teaching institutions through a set of core standards related to governance, personnel, participation of women and youth, and civic responsibility on which the member organisations self regulate.  The MINAB will provide an advisory and capacity-building role for member organisations to meet the standards through activities such as institutional mentoring, training programmes, helpline, development of toolkits and facilitation of workshops, seminars and conferences.

The MINAB is the Mosques and Imams National Advisory Board which is an advisory and facilitatory body providing services to mosques and Islamic training institutions in the UK who join its membership.
