Washington D.C. – February 20, 2026 – The ICNA Council for Social Justice (ICNA CSJ) proudly joins the international community in marking World Day of Social Justice, under the theme “Renewed Commitment to Social Development and Social Justice.” This observance calls for renewed efforts to eradicate poverty, advance equality, promote fair labor, and ensure inclusion for all—principles deeply aligned with ICNA CSJ’s mission to facilitate assertive Muslim involvement in advocating for the rights of the poor and oppressed in the United States.
ICNA CSJ advances justice through key focus areas including civic engagement, criminal justice reform, homelessness prevention, Muslim prisoner support, and broader efforts against Islamophobia, bullying, and racial inequity. These initiatives empower communities, educate on rights, and drive measurable change, reaching over 1 million people nationwide through events, petitions, and volunteer action.
The Quran instructs: “O you who have believed, be persistently standing firm in justice, witnesses for Allah, even if it be against yourselves or parents and relatives. Whether one is rich or poor, Allah is more worthy of both.” (Quran 4:135)
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “The best jihad is a just word spoken to an unjust ruler.” (Sunan Abu Dawud)
“We call upon Muslims and allies to renew our dedication to bridging divides, uplifting the marginalized, and embodying Islamic values of compassion, equity, and dignity for every human being,” said Imam Khalid Griggs, Chairman, ICNA CSJ.
ICNA CSJ remains committed to building a just society through education, advocacy, and direct action. Join us at icnacsj.org to learn more, take action, or support ongoing campaigns.
