*NEW YORK, NY (Feb. 1st, 2026) –* World Interfaith Harmony Week is an important opportunity to reaffirm our shared responsibility to promote peace, mutual respect, and cooperation among people of all faiths and beliefs. The Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) proudly joins communities worldwide in advancing harmony as a foundation for a just and compassionate society.
Islam calls upon humanity to embrace mutual understanding and respect. The Qur’an states: “ O mankind, indeed We created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another. Indeed, the most honored of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you ” (Qur’an 49:13). Guided by this principle, ICNA has long made interfaith engagement a central part of its mission.
Across North America, ICNA has worked with diverse faith communities through interfaith dialogues, open mosque events, and joint service initiatives addressing hunger, disaster relief, social injustice, and the defense of religious freedom. These partnerships reflect ICNA’s belief that genuine harmony is built not only through dialogue, but through meaningful collaboration in service to the common good.
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught, “The most beloved people to Allah are those who are most beneficial to people.” Inspired by this teaching, ICNA remains committed to working with all people of goodwill to reject hatred, build understanding, and strengthen the bonds that unite our communities.
As World Interfaith Harmony Week is observed around the globe, ICNA reaffirms its dedication to cooperation, peace, and the dignity of all people, and calls on communities everywhere to continue building bridges of trust and compassion.
