Welcome to the Islamic Institute of Current Affairs
Where Islamic Tradition Meets Critical Thought on Current Affairs.
Shaping tomorrow's Muslim intelligentsia - one global issue at a time.
Critical engagement with global politics, political theory, and contemporary issues through a principled Islamic lens.
Why IICA Exists
We are living through a period of intellectual poverty, a lack of meaningful engagement with the world through a sound, principled Islamic lens.
Too often, contemporary issues are approached without methodological clarity, intellectual discipline, or a framework rooted in Islamic tradition.
The Solution
IICA advances principled inquiry by applying Islamic intellectual foundations to the political, social, and economic questions of our time.
Our approach combines critical analysis with fidelity to tradition, ensuring that knowledge remains both rigorous and relevant.
What We Do
We produce in-depth research, structured learning programmes, and public discussions on global politics, political theory, law, and economics.
This work takes the form of essays, online courses, and expert-led events.
Who It's For
IICA is a platform for students, graduates, scholars, and professionals seeking serious engagement with contemporary issues through an Islamic lens.
It is a space for those who want their academic work and ideas to serve a wider public purpose.
