MyBasirah

Our Core Objectives

MyBasirah seeks to strengthen the quality, integrity and benefit of Islamic public engagement by applying established Islamic principles to the realities of contemporary public discourse.

  1. Set a clear standard for responsible Islamic public engagement

    by drawing on the Qur’an and Sunnah and the rich ethical legacy of the classical Islamic scholarly tradition, including sincerity (الإخلاص), justice (العدل), wisdom (الحكمة), adab (الأدب), verification (التبيّن), consultation (الشورى) and accountability (المحاسبة).

  2. Help Muslims reflect critically and honestly on the influence they engage with

    by considering whether Islamic content and public figures are strengthening their faith, knowledge, worship, character and conduct.

  3. Strengthen unity within the Muslim Ummah

    by promoting standards for principled disagreement, encouraging fairness, adab and mutual respect, supporting private resolution where appropriate, and discouraging factionalism, humiliation and unnecessary personality driven conflict.

  4. Direct Islamic influence towards constructive benefit

    by encouraging content and public engagement that leads to worship, better character, service, cooperation, stronger relationships and positive contribution to communities and wider society.

  5. Encourage and facilitate sound decision making, shura and reconciliation in difficult or sensitive matters

    by connecting relevant parties with qualified scholars and subject matter experts, weighing maṣlaḥah and mafsadah, considering wider consequences, encouraging accountability and promoting private resolution where appropriate.
