Al-Hidayah is a UK-based movement which is a branch of Minhaj-ul-Quran.

Al-Hidayah is a movement which aims to bring about spiritual and educational renewal of individuals through the means of the Qur'an and Way of the Prophet Muhammad. Its main aim is to promote the moderate message of Islam and to tackle the issue of extremism.

Al-Hidayah held its first event in 2005, which was a camp that held 300 people. The next event was held in Heythrop Park, Oxfordshire in 2006 and held nearly 600 people.^[1]

They aim to extend its organisation further by holding more events and releasing DVDs, books and audio CDs. The organisation is also planning to release an official journal by August 2007.

Many of the scholars of Al-Hidayah are prominent and well-known in the Muslim world. They include Shaykh ul Islam Dr. Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri, Shaykh As’ad Muhammad Saeed as-Sagharji and Shaykh Hammami.

In 2007, Al Hidayah held another event which included Shaykh ul Islam Dr. Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri, Shaykh As’ad Muhammad Saeed as-Sagharji, Abdal Hakim Murad, and Shaykh Hammami.^[2]
