Ethical Framework
Our institutions and programmes work without regard to the faith or origin of the people they serve. In Islam, service to God is not only worship, but also service to humanity, and abiding by the duty of trust towards the rest of creation.
Read about the values that inform our work.

The ethics of Islam bridge the realms of faith on the one hand and practical life on the other – what we call Din and Dunya. Accordingly, my spiritual responsibilities for interpreting the faith are accompanied by a strong engagement in issues relating to the quality of life and well being. This latter commitment extends not only to the Ismaili community but also to those with whom they share their lives – locally, nationally and internationally.
