Core Values
At i3, we strive to uphold a set of values that govern our work and nurture our communities. Our values are rooted in the basic principles of Qurān and Sunnah and are the key drivers behind everything we do.
Inclusive
We are devoted to fostering a space where everyone is welcome and valued, regardless of our different perspectives. This ensures the true spirit of ikhwa (brotherhood) by allowing room for difference of opinion per Ahl-e-Sunnah Wal Jamma’.
Non-liberal
We uphold Islamic principles that are critical of Western liberal values and seek to provide an alternative worldview that promotes moral upliftment of human societies.
Holistic
We recognize the interconnection of Islamic teachings and their relevance to modern-day issues. Therefore, we encourage critical thinking grounded in traditional Islamic scholarship. We aim for an integrated understanding of Islam where the acquisition of knowledge is combined with personal development and overall transformation.
Collaborative
We truly see value in working together to achieve common objectives while bringing unique skills and experiences to the table. Partnerships and collaborations are vital components of i3’s organizational aims.
Non-Sectarian
We seek to transcend sectarian differences and work on the aspects that are shared by all sects. We acknowledge the diversity of Islāmic beliefs and practices and embrace fundamental Islāmic principles that enhance Muslim unity.
Advocating
We regard advocacy for the correct narrative in reference to contemporary issues as a necessary component of Islāmic teachings. Dispelling misconceptions and stereotypes, countering negative narratives, promoting respect, and empowering Muslims are some of the things we strive for.
