Islamic Circle of North America
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) is an Islamic grassroots organization. According to the Islamic Circle of North America, the goal of ICNA "shall be to seek the pleasure of Allah (SWT) through the struggle of Iqamat-ud-Deen (establishment of the Islamic system of life) as spelled out in the Qur'an and the Sunnah of [Muhammad]." ICNA's annual convention is one of the largest gatherings of American Muslims in the United States. The Message International is the bi-monthly publication of ICNA.
Their major Dawah activities include dawah field trips, a toll-free number for non-Muslims (1-877-WhyIslam), distribution of Islamic literature, dawah through mosques, dawah by mail, dawah through media, dawah in prisons, campus dawah support, dawah flyers online, and dawah through email. WhyIslam.org is an ICNA program.
[edit] Annual convention
ICNA holds an annual convention in partnership with the Muslim American Society. The 2006 convention is the 31st annual being held at the Connecticut Convention Center in Hartford, Connecticut from June 30 to July 2.
