Outreach & Partnerships
Islamic Research Network (IRN) is built on collaboration. Our goal is to make it easier for Muslims, researchers, and community leaders to find trustworthy organizations and services across the Western world.
Building IRN through collaboration
To keep IRN accurate, useful, and grounded in real community needs, we work with partners at every level: national councils, academic institutions, local masjids, and media and policy organizations.
National Councils & Umbrella Organizations
We connect with national bodies such as the Canadian Council of Imams, MAC, ICNA, MCB, ISNA, and similar organizations to:
- Map member institutions more accurately
- Keep organizational information up to date
- Help Muslims find reliable councils and networks in their region
Academic Partners
IRN collaborates with universities and research centres with Islamic studies, sociology, religious studies, or social policy programs to:
- Support research on Muslim communities in the Western world
- Provide verified institutional data for academic projects
- Turn research insights into practical benefit for communities
Local Mosques & Community Organizations
Local masjids, Islamic centres, and community organizations are at the heart of IRN. We encourage them to:
- Claim their listings on IRN
- Update services, prayer times, and contact details
- Highlight programs for youth, families, converts, and the wider community
Media & Policy Partners
IRN positions itself as a factual, data-driven voice on Muslim institutions and demographics by working with:
- Media outlets
- Think tanks and policy groups
- Community advocacy organizations
By sharing accurate, context-rich data, IRN helps shape more informed reporting, policy discussions, and public conversations about Muslim communities.
