Mistakes, errors and the need for clarity are part and parcel of everyday life. In the line of work that Asim Khan is involved in, there is a greater level of responsibility and a need for transparency and accountability. This page aims to clarify contentious issues, apologise for any mistakes and clear any confusion. This approach in publicly announcing mistakes and errors is a key Islamic value and ethic, as human beings are not perfect but they must strive for excellence and integrity.

My Values:
Love
Love for your brother what you love for yourself. 1
Community
The best of people are those that bring most benefit to humanity.” 2
Tolerance
People, We created you all from a single man and a single woman, and made you into races and tribes so that you may get to know one another. 3
Forbearance
And not equal are the good deed and the bad. Repel [evil] by that deed which is better; and thereupon the one whom between you and him is enmity will become as though he were a devoted friend.4
Fairness
O You who believe! Be upholders of justice, bearing witness for God alone, even against yourselves or your parents and relatives. Whether they are rich or poor, God is well able to look after them. Do not follow your own desires and deviate from the truth. If you twist or turn away, God is aware of what you do.5
