What Is Light Upon Light
Light Upon Light is an Islamic-based conference that inspires thousands with interactive & inspirational events throughout the United Kingdom & internationally.
Since its inception in 2014, we began with one event in London with guest speakers such as Mufti Menk & have now expanded on a national scale due to popular demand. Alhamdulillah, we have been and continue to be fully dedicated to delivering beneficial events for a wide audience by introducing them to diverse & world-renowned speakers, much needed charitable causes and businesses that cater for our community.
By the will of Allah Alone, we have managed to benefit more than 100,000 people in the past 5 years. One of the main aims of Light Upon Light is to make it as easy and economical as possible for both Muslims and non-Muslims to attend and learn about the orthodox & moderate way of Islam. Moreover, inviting our attendees to the most professional and prestige locations.
