The Dawoodi Bohras of the United Kingdom
The Dawoodi Bohras are a Muslim community who have lived in the United Kingdom since the 1960s. There are around one million members worldwide, including over 2,000 families in the UK. Members of the community are spread across 9 cities from Manchester to London. Despite relatively small numbers, Dawoodi Bohras all over the country play important roles in their local societies while adhering to Islamic religious practices, including reciting the Holy Quran, the five daily prayers, fasting during the month of Ramadan and supporting local and national charities.
