The Institute
The International Institute of Advanced Islamic Studies (IAIS) Malaysia is a non-profit think tank. It is a company limited by guarantee, established in 2007. Its primary function is to promote a positive Muslim identity, fostering unity among the international Muslim community, contributing to the country's social development, and engaging in dialogue between civilisations.
IAIS Malaysia is a think tank for the Malaysian government in global affairs and international relations involving the Muslim community. The Institute is an agent of positive change and social development, in line with the concept and framework of Malaysia's MADANI approach.
Through research, publications, strategic communication, dialogue, and capacity-building, IAIS Malaysia is committed to leading public discourse on global Muslim issues, including foreign relations policies and social cohesion agendas.
Our main goal is to empower the regional Muslim community to become agents of positive change and development, promoting a fair, just, and sustainable world for all.
