The Muslim Association of Canada (MAC) is a religious, educational, social, charitable and non-profit organization. MAC provides services and programs designed to assist in the holistic educational and spiritual development of the Muslim individual and family. A primary tenet of MAC is community involvement and service not only with the Muslim community, but with every community, regardless of faith or background.
Islam has a centuries long tradition of inspiring its adherents to contribute to humanity based on conviction in its tenets. Previous generations of Muslims were on the forefront of contributing to medicine, philosophy, architecture, and governance among other areas. We are an institute aiming to rekindle this tradition.
Constant negative portrayals of Islam have put Muslims in a defensive position in which they constantly have to justify their convictions, while fighting off the natural doubts and insecurities that arise in such a climate. As such, young Muslims should be intellectually equipped and spiritually anchored in a way that empowers them to deal with the onslaught of doubt-inducing claims routinely leveled against Islam.
We aim to actively participate in the current day discourse touching on all topics that are related to establishing conviction in the hearts and minds of young Muslims. The institute aims to be the trusted source regarding these topics by generating well researched Islamic content that is then distilled through various formats including articles, infographics, animations, videos, and cutting edge app technology. This content is then carefully assembled into curricula that can be used by various educators and community leaders to help anchor young Muslims in their faith, and produce thoughtful societal contribution.
The Institute is a non-profit research initiative that will make all of its content free and accessible. This will allow everyone looking for answers, and those tasked with giving answers, to always have a comprehensive resource readily available to them.
We believe that telling our own story is the only way to counter the narrative that has been forced upon our community.
IslamiCity aims to share with the world an understanding of Islam and Muslims and to promote peace, justice, and harmony for all people.
We are here to advance the understanding and dialogue among civilizations. We believe that through emerging online media, there is an opportunity to create awareness and spread knowledge, leading to a better experience and peaceful coexistence in our rapidly shrinking global village.
IslamiCity’s website was launched in 1995. It provides the global audience with a non-sectarian, comprehensive, and holistic view of Islam and Muslims.
Our organization has evolved into one of the world’s leading online sources of Islamic information and one of the largest Muslim e-Community, offering a wide range of information and services.
It is this combination of community building, information, and services – delivered in a virtual space - that attracts millions of visitors and international media recognition for IslamiCity every year.
