About
Our vision & mission
The Islamic Association for Outreach and Guidance is a voluntary outreach body in Qalansawe. It works to teach the Islamic sciences plainly, to strengthen the town’s connection to the Qur’an and the Prophet’s example, and to serve the community in its mosques and at its occasions.
The Association holds evening talks and classes in the town’s mosques; the Nur al-Bayan project for memorising and understanding the Qur’an; an annual course in the fiqh of Hajj for the town’s pilgrims; seasonal outreach campaigns; and competitions for the town’s young people. The Athar youth committee grew out of it, and it works with the mosque committees on the convoys to al-Aqsa Mosque.
Voluntary work offered for the sake of God. Everyone in Qalansawe and the surrounding area is welcome.
Vision
A community alive in its faith, bound to its Lord, drawing its guidance from the pure springs of the religion.
Mission
We seek to revive the faith in people’s hearts, to call them to the worship of God, to build the resolve to work for the religion, and to reform society through education and outreach — understanding our circumstances, diagnosing their ills, and treating them by the guidance of Islam.
Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good instruction
