Yaqeen Institute

Islam has a centuries-long tradition of inspiring its adherents to contribute to humanity through conviction in its tenets. Previous generations of Muslims were at the forefront of advancements in medicine, philosophy, architecture, and governance, among other fields. The institute seeks to rekindle this tradition. Constant negative portrayals of Islam have placed Muslims in a defensive position, often forcing them to justify their beliefs while contending with the doubts and insecurities that arise in such a climate. Therefore, young Muslims must be intellectually equipped and spiritually anchored to face the onslaught of doubt-inducing claims routinely leveled against Islam. The institute aims to actively participate in contemporary discourse on topics related to strengthening conviction in the hearts and minds of young Muslims. It strives to become a trusted source on these subjects by producing well-researched Islamic content, distilled into accessible formats such as articles, infographics, animations, videos, and cutting-edge app technology. This content is then structured into curricula that educators and community leaders can use to help young Muslims anchor their faith and cultivate thoughtful societal contributions. As a non-profit research initiative, the institute will make all its content free and accessible, ensuring that anyone seeking answers — and those responsible for providing them — always have a comprehensive, reliable resource at their disposal.
