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.

Who we work with

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.
