(And who is better in speech than one who invites to Allah and does righteousness and says, "Indeed, I am of the Muslims.")


In a time when there were different ways for passersby, and many writings that are written by the forgers and the words of deceivers have increased, without verification or proof, and with no wisdom in the statement, a group of callers to Islam rushed to open a cultural center, for discussion and call, that introduces to Islam, and encourages the dialogue between different cultures. The main objective must be, the introduction to Islam, its doctrine and its cultures , and the call for the worship of God, which was the forum for the introduction to Islam and dialogue between cultures.

Our motto:
Wisdom: whomever discussed with people, joined them in their minds
God said: (And do not argue with the People of the Scripture except in a way that is best,) [AL Ankabout  46].
God said: (Say, "O People of the Scripture, come to a word that is equitable between us and you - that we will not worship except Allah and not associate anything with Him and not take one another as lords instead of Allah." But if they turn away, then say, "Bear witness that we are Muslims [submitting to Him].") [ Al Omran 64].
God said: (O Messenger, announce that which has been revealed to you from your Lord, and if you do not, then you have not conveyed His message. And Allah will protect you from the people. Indeed, Allah does not guide the disbelieving people. ----Say, "O People of the Scripture, you are [standing] on nothing until you uphold [the law of] the Torah, the Gospel, and what has been revealed to you from your Lord.") [ Al Maidah 67-68].
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: "Declare from me, even if the verse" Narrated by Al Bukhari in his Saheeh.
And the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: "None of you truly believes until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself" Narrated by Muslim.
