Burbank was a Salafi Muslim [2] involved in translating treatises and books of Salafi scholars upon his return to Britain and was involved in the activities of ‘Jam’iyat Ihya’ Minhaj al-Sunnah (JIMAS) (translated as: Association to Revive the Way of the Messenger) until the end of 1995 when the organization splintered along pro and anti-Saudi government lines.[3] Burbank, along with Abu Khadeejah Abdul Wahid led [3] the side that remained quietist towards the government of Saudi Arabia, temporarily creating an organization called ‘Organization of Ahl al Sunnah Islamic Societies’ or OASIS which then quickly became ‘Salafi Publications’. Burbank “translated many Arabic texts” in this time that reinforced their objective that “correcting religious belief and practice among British Muslims was more important than political reform”.[3]
