UK Muslim community trust in imams to decline by 30% by 2027

The case of Abdul Halim Khan, who abused his position as an imam to commit crimes, is likely to erode public trust in religious leaders within the Muslim community. Independent surveys in 2022 showed 70% trust in imams; a 30% drop would align with similar trust crises in other institutions post-scandal.
