Our Mission Nowadays, there are hundreds of Islamic organizations (Islamic NGOs) that exist.

There are NGOs for education, health, charity,human right,law, interest of the nation and also for religious dignity.However there is yet an effort to create an effective, sustainable and agreeable networking that can uplift Ummah dignity to its righteous place.

It a must for all Islamic movements that embrace Islam as their goal and label to assemble an organized row to seek His love as stated in Surah As-Saff verse 4.
