A UK based organisation is set to host an event in Oxford aiming to dispel widespread myths about Islam and will invite attendees to take part in meditation and reflection.
In a world often dominated by fear and division, Seek2Change, which is part of the global peace movement, is taking an innovative step toward peace and mutual understanding. Their upcoming meeting will invite people from all backgrounds to come together for open dialogue, reflection, and connection.
Amid constant global headlines and polarising narratives, confusion and concern about Islam are understandable. This event seeks to go beyond the noise by dispelling fear and misconceptions through honest conversation, empathy, and shared humanity.
“We’re not here to convert — we’re here to connect,” said Sajid Hussain, the founder of Seek2Change. “Our goal is to create a safe space where people can ask questions, express thoughts freely, and discover the true essence of Islam — a message rooted in peace, love, and service to humanity.”
The event accepts that everyone is on their own journey of understanding. Whether curious, sceptical, or simply seeking clarity, attendees will be welcomed into an environment built on respect and openness.
By addressing topics including extremism, immigration, and media narratives — the event does not aim to provoke, but rather to reframe them through a compassionate lens.
The presenters at the event will explore: The spiritual and universal foundations of peace in Islam, how neuroplasticity and mindfulness support character transformation and inner harmony, the vision of Muslims as ambassadors of peace within their communities and a call to join a global peace movement that transcends faith and culture.
At the heart of the programme is the Universal World Peace Prayer Meditation — a collective moment of stillness and shared intention. This guided reflection invites participants to awaken peace within themselves and extend it outward to families, communities, and ultimately, nations.
This shared practice serves as a reminder that peace begins within, and through connection, it will ripple outward to transform societies.
Seek2Change’s mission extends far beyond any single event. Its initiatives are making an impact worldwide, from the UK to Japan and the USA, with the aim of promoting peace through education, dialogue, and community building.
Through its programmes, Seek2Change integrates timeless spiritual wisdom with modern psychology and neuroscience, offering practical pathways for personal and collective transformation.
“When people truly understand one another, fear dissolves — and when fear dissolves, peace will flourish,” Hussain added. “This event is a small step towards our global vision.”
Drawing inspiration from universal values and the teachings of the illuminated prophets, Seek2Change delivers initiatives that promote compassion, dialogue, and social harmony across the globe.
The event will be held on Saturday, 8 November from 3- 6 pm at the Greyfriars School on Cricket Road, OX4 3DR.
