“Ghamidi Center of Islamic Learning” (GCIL), an initiative of Al Mawrid United States, is established with a single purpose, to educate people of all ages about moral, ethical, and humane values as taught in Islam. Our aim is to separate history and culture from Islam and teach it in its purest form as a field of knowledge and not enforce it as a creed. We base our instruction method on argument and logic and encourage healthy criticism. An institute where traditional and historical knowledge can be understood as well as challenged with reason.
