Mission

The Valley once known as the “Valley of the Saints (pious)” has seen a dramatic turn in the life style of its inhabitants. Although, the overwhelming majority of the people living in Kashmir are Muslims, yet all the practices that Islam came to ridicule are present in our society. In order to make our society a better one where morality, peace and harmony would prevail, “The Islamic Centre of Kashmir” was formed with a view of encouraging virtue and forbidding all vice in view of applying a verse from the Qur’aan:

"Let there arise out of you a group inviting to all that is good, enjoining what is right, and forbidding what is wrong. They are the ones to attain success."[Aal-e-Imran, 3:104]

Programs

The Islamic Centre of Kashmir plans to work for the following causes:

Education

The Islamic Center of Kashmir aims to promote contemporary and moral Islamic education. This would be based as per the methodology of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) upon Qur’aan and authentic Sunn’ah and as per the understanding of the Pious Predecessors. The main steps we aim to take in this regard are as follows, Insha’Allah:

Establishing Islamic academic libraries and guidance Centre’s aimed at educating the general masses regarding the main principles of Islam.
Encouraging contemporary education among the needy and under-privileged by imparting them with technical and professional trainings.

General Social Welfare

The Islamic Centre of Kashmir aims to work for the general welfare of humanity irrespective of caste, colour and creed. This would include rehabilitation of down trodden and under privileged sections of the society. The main steps we aim to take in this regard will be as follows, Insha’Allah:

Providing interest free loans, academic scholarships and other financial assistance to the poor and needy.
Arranging free medical camps and first-aid to deserving individuals.
Delivering aid, voluntary support and disaster management whenever necessary.

Finally, we ask all our Brothers and Sisters in Creed to support and aid us in order to make the causes we are striving for attainable.
