The Islamic House of Wisdom is an Islamic center through which services are offered to all who seek wisdom in the faith of Islam. The mission of the Islamic House of Wisdom is to worship God and serve the community as per the teachings of the holy Qu'ran, the prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), and the righteous members of his family (AHLUL-BAYT). The organization welcomes all Believers regardless of race, nationality, ethnicity, gender or age to become enlightened by a clear perception and understanding of the Islamic teachings. The vision of the Islamic House of Wisdom is to disseminate Islamic knowledge and to provide Islamic services to all in the United States of America who seek wisdom in the faith of Islam. We aim to inspire an appreciation of Islamic values by teaching the religion and its principles, and by demonstrating their effectiveness in a changing society through a caring and peaceful environment. This spiritual vision is directed toward assisting interested individuals to pursue knowledge, justice, freedom, purpose, direction and salvation, by enriching their intellectual and spiritual domains.
Islamic Information Center (IIC) is a non-profit organization that was established in the year 2002 by a group of concerned professionals from all walks of American life under the leadership of eminent Scholar and Imam of Jaferia Center, Imam Syed Naqvi. The organization functions under the Chairmanship of Imam Naqvi with four permanent Directors and seven elected Directors; President, Secretary and Accountant are elected from among the Directors. The accounts are audited and presented to the members at yearly meetings. After the events of 9/11, Islam has received intense scrutiny throughout the world and especially in America. There is a great demand and interest in understanding and acquiring knowledge about Islam. To this effect, seminars discussions and workshops are being and a number of books have been published on Islam, but most of them are based on some pre-conceived agendas. Therefore, there was a very vital need to establish an Islamic Information Center to provide and disseminate information about Islam as defined by the Prophet of Islam (Peace Be Upon Him), the teachings of Holy Quran as interpreted by the Holy Progeny (Peace Be Upon Them) of the Holy Prophet. At IIC we believe that the "Islamic" future of America is subject to change by the leadership of the Muslims in America. It is dedicated to integrating Muslims both spiritually and politically into the American mainstream. Integration into the pluralist American society requires Muslims to gain a place in American culture to and politics so the wisdom of Islam can affect important moral aspects. To accomplish this IIC has focused on three main areas of American society: Political: This country has a wide variety of public officials, and at every level of the government, these officials are expected to interact with and serve the public. The first task IIC should accomplish is to determine which, if any of these officials, may be friendly or positive towards Islam and try to work with them on projects of mutual interest. Media: To attempt to improve the image of Islam in the media, the goals are simple. Identify local, national and international newspapers, and invite them to attend IIC events and programs. Also we strive to pursue relationships with television news stations. IIC
