The inception of CID was from the light of hope to bestow, upon Muslims and non-Muslims, a greater understanding of Islam.

As Muslims, we are encouraged to learn Islam's lofty tenets, and in doing so, we enhance the quality of our spiritual life. The state of the Muslim ummah has been in decline over a period of time, although Islam's perfection, none with sagacity and intelligence can doubt. Yet the overall moral decay and decadence of Muslims is evident due to their separation from perfection. Perfection can only be attributed to Allah, hence any path that derails or deviates one from their Creator leads to nothing but despair and misery.

As for non-Muslims, the Center provides a balanced approach to learning Islam, and thus eradicating any misconceptions, misunderstandings and misgivings about Muslims and the honorable teachings of Islam. The reason to bridge-build between Muslims and non-Muslims of all walks of life, is embedded in the concept that if one is in ignorance of others, fear and hostility will be the result. Hence, fear and hostility stem from nothing but the hideous head of ignorance. At CID, we strive to teach and welcome non-Muslims, so that we can all live in an atmosphere of understanding and goodness, rather than in the clouds of suspicion and hate.

We, at CID, believe in a better and more fulfilled future for all.
