A Vision for the Islamic Information Centre (IIC) Sarawak
We envision the Islamic Information Centre (IIC) Sarawak as an engine of synergy, serving all citizens of Sarawak and Malaysia.
The Foundation: Bridging Faith and Humanity
خَيْرُ النَّاسِ أَنْفَعُهُمْ لِلنَّاسِ
"The best of people are those who are most beneficial to people."
لِتَعَارَفُوا
"...that you may know one another."
وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ إِلَّا رَحْمَةً لِّلْعَالَمِينَ
"And We have not sent you, [O Muhammad], except as a mercy to all the worlds."
The Expression: Where Faith Meets Innovation
الَّذِينَ يَذْكُرُونَ اللَّهَ قِيَامًا وَقُعُودًا وَعَلَىٰ جُنُوبِهِمْ وَيَتَفَكَّرُونَ فِي خَلْقِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ
"Those who remember Allah while standing, sitting, and lying on their sides, and reflect on the creation of the heavens and the earth."
This "tafakkur" fosters ethical Islamic innovation. The new IIC Sarawak will champion this, celebrating our heritage and democratizing knowledge through a state-of-the-art Digital Outreach and Knowledge Platform.
The Roadmap: Visualizing the Future of IIC Sarawak
1
Phase 1: Digital Revitalization & Deepening Roots (Next 2 Years)
Digital Revitalization & Deepening Roots Upgrade our core mission by launching a dynamic digital platform, formalizing our interfaith council, and making Islamic arts globally accessible online.
2
Phase 2: Leading the Global Conversation (Years 3-5)
Evolve into a global thought leader on faith in the digital age by hosting international conferences and spearheading worldwide digital outreach projects.
3
Phase 3: Scaling Our Impact & Broadening Horizons (Years 5 and Beyond)
Expand our reach beyond physical walls by empowering youth ambassadors, offering hybrid education, and forging strategic technology partnerships.
Conclusion: A Call to Create in Our Garden of Paradise
The IIC Sarawak vision combines faith and humanity, with creativity and innovation providing the 'how'.
إِذَا مَرَرْتُمْ بِرِيَاضِ الْجَنَّةِ فَارْتَعُوا. قَالُوا وَمَا رِيَاضُ الْجَنَّةِ قَالَ: حِلَقُ الذِّكْرِ
"The Prophet said: 'When you pass by the Gardens of Paradise, then feast.' They asked: 'And what are the Gardens of Paradise?' He replied: 'The circles of remembrance (and knowledge).'"
We cultivate these 'Gardens of Paradise' in Sarawak through every forum, workshop, and exhibition. The revitalized IIC Sarawak is our blueprint. Join us to innovate with purpose and create with compassion.
Thank You
We appreciate your presence and engagement.
Let us continue to build a future of compassionate innovation.
