Al-mawrid Institute Canada

Al-Mawrid was originally founded in 1983 in Pakistan by Javed Ahmad Ghamidi. Its aim was to revitalize stagnant Islamic intellectual discourse and rebuild Islamic education and research for the contemporary world. This was done with the realization that ljtehad – or exertion of independent reasoning applied to the Quran and Sunnah- must be an ongoing scholarly process as human error can never be fully eliminated from this work. Al-Mawrid Institute Canada is a charitable organization established in 2018 in Mississauga, Ontario. It sought to fulfill this mandate for the Canadian Muslim community and seekers from other faith- communities.
