The Awards will be held at The Bradford Hotel where some of the most accomplished and influential individuals will gather for a glamorous night to celebrate their success.

The finalists are divided into more than 30 categories, with around 10 finalists in each one.

One of the finalists is Nasim Ashraf, who has been running his IT company, iiPlus, from Drake Street since 2014.

Ashraf, who co-founded the UK Education & Faith Foundation (UKEFF) charity in Oldham, told Rochdale Online he has been inundated with “thousands of messages of love and compassion” for bringing mosques and churches together during last year’s winter spell when temperatures plummeted.

Charity begins at home and we are the very fabric of Britain. Our loyalty, our struggle, and our energy must be directed here on our doorstep to remove destitution,” he said.

According to a 2014 census, the total population of Muslims in the United Kingdom was estimated to be 3,114,992.

BBC also said that Islam is the fastest growing religion the northwestern European country, and its adherents have the lowest average age out of all the major religious groups.

The largest ethnic groups of Muslims in the UK are Pakistanis and Bangladeshis. Smaller groups are Indians, Arabs, Kurds, Turks, and Africans.
