NAIF - Mission & Vision
The NAIF provides its religious leader members with collegial support, as well as opportunities for sharing in Islamic learning, life, and practice so that each can grow as a spiritual care leader for his respective masjid or Islamic Center.
The mosques and Islamic organizations in the U.S. and Canada serve millions of Muslims. As an advocate for the profession, the NAIF aspires to leverage the collective wisdom of a truly representative body of clergy and lay leaders from this diverse Muslim community to promote dialogue, improve the standing of Islam in the West, and to facilitate cooperation among masjids and Islamic Centers.
NAIF also provides a much-needed collegial voice to Imams in North America. The concerted effort to facilitate an evolution in the profession to meet the changing needs of Muslims in the U.S. and Canada is at its infancy. NAIF’s vision is to function as a practical resource for Imams of all backgrounds who want and need a forum to examine and adapt to an Islam in the 21st century. In this regard, NAIF is engaged in contemplation, dialogue, and prophetic action on issues affecting Islam and society. As a mission, NAIF envisions an exemplary Muslim community in the U.S. and Canada that strives for the betterment of society at large.
