ISRA at a Glance
Saturday, 03 October 2009
The Islamic Studies And Research Association, known as ISRA is an organization and a movement that began in the United States.It is working to revive the totality of deen. It is founded on the affirmation that Allah (swt) is One, Muhammad (saws) is His final Prophet and the religion of Islam has three dimensions: Islam, Iman and Ihsaan (Tasawwuf), which relate to surrendering one´s body, heart and soul to Allah (swt). Additionally it promotes the love of Allah (swt) and the love of Rasool Allah (saws) as ways of purifying ones heart from other than Allah (swt) and making Allah (swt), a reality in ones life.
The organization was formed as a think tank in 1987. Its members have worked through various local, regional and national organizations initially on several projects to enhance and spread Islamic knowledge.
In 1998 ISRA was revived in a meeting of several community leaders to begin working as an umbrella organization and a popular movement to promote a dynamic vision of Islam based on Islaam, Imaan and Ihsaan (tasawwuf).
