For the past two centuries the Islamic world has confronted the assault of an alien civilization and worldview that has challenged the very tenets of Islam itself.
Providing the necessary Islamic responses to the contemporary problems posed by current ideologies is of utmost importance.
The chaos and complexity that characterizes the post modern world, obliges all Muslim scholars to reassert the eternal truth of Islam as revealed in the Noble Qur'an and explained in the Hadith and Sunnah of the Blessed Prophet and his pure progenies.
It was in response to this obligation that the IIS was founded in 1997 to identify and closely examine important issues related to the Muslim World in an academic environment.
