We provide annual open calls for scholars worldwide to support original and cutting-edge research on Islamic history, law, philosophy, social change, political economy, and technological advancement.
We curate academic publications, historical texts, policy reports, and social data into a freely accessible online library, serving as a global hub for Islamic studies.
Our expert teams publish independent analyses on key social issues including educational equity, economic development, youth empowerment, gender equality, and climate adaptation—offering evidence-based recommendations to governments, NGOs, and international bodies.
We host flagship events such as the Global Forum on Islamic Civilization, interdisciplinary youth workshops, and South-South research salons to facilitate scholarly exchange and intellectual collaboration.
We provide emergency relief—including food, medical care, and psychological support—to vulnerable populations such as refugees, the poor, minorities, and persons with disabilities. We also implement long-term development programs like clean water access, basic healthcare, and sustainable agriculture.
We assist local NGOs and community groups with training in organizational management, project design, fundraising strategies, and monitoring & evaluation—empowering them to better serve and advocate for their communities.
We offer scholarships, especially for girls and underserved youth, and provide vocational training in digital skills, traditional crafts, and small business management to enhance employability and entrepreneurship.
We focus on the rights of women, children, and religious minorities, offering legal aid, social referrals, awareness campaigns, and policy advocacy.
We curate and support world-class exhibitions, film festivals, literary events, and culinary weeks celebrating Islamic cultures, touring major global cities to share the richness and creativity of the Muslim world.
We create multilingual documentaries, podcasts, short videos, and online courses, widely distributed via social and streaming platforms to challenge stereotypes and tell authentic stories of everyday Muslim lives.
We organize interfaith dialogues, youth exchange camps, community open days, and online forums to foster face-to-face trust-building across beliefs and cultures.
We collaborate with schools and universities to develop accurate, objective, and diverse teaching materials about the Islamic world for students and the general public.
Our specialized team tracks and analyzes developments across the Islamic world—from political shifts to human rights and conflict dynamics—offering timely and objective insights.
We advocate at venues such as the UN Human Rights Council, regional organizations, and national parliaments on critical issues affecting Muslim communities—such as discriminatory counterterrorism policies, migration rights, religious freedom, and development aid.
We foster partnerships with governments, international organizations (e.g., UN, OIC), human rights institutions, faith-based groups, think tanks, and media—working together to advance peace, development, and human rights.
When conflict arises, we provide rapid analysis and, when appropriate, discreet channels or expert support for peace dialogue and conflict resolution.
