Vision
ICNA Canada’s vision is to build an exemplary Muslim community in Canada – A community that sets path towards personal excellence in faith, worship and morality and shares basis for the moral, social, and economic development of the Canadian Society.
Goal
Striving for this vision would help us achieve our goal that is to seek the pleasure of Allah (SWT) by total submission to Him and through the propagation of true and universal message of Islam, which was revealed by Allah (SWT) in the last book, “Al-Qur’an” and through His last messenger, Muhammad (SAW).
The propagation of the true and universal message of Islam is only possible in Canada when whole Canadian Muslim Community transformed into a Dawah community by practicing and propagating the true Islamic Way of Life.
With the vision of building an exemplary Canadian Muslim community, it is very important to spread the word of Islam, develop those who accept to walk along, create an effective team of these people and extend our hands to help all humankind without any bias.
This transforms into following four mandated roles that are necessary to realize our vision.
- Dawah and Outreach
- Learning and Development (Tarbiyah)
- Organization
- Services to Humanity
