- Patriotism:
Indian Muslims should take pride in their country and actively contribute to its development and progress. By participating in national initiatives like Skill India, they can play a significant role in India’s growth. Despite misconceptions that Islam, as a transnational faith, does not allow room for patriotism, the Quran and Sunnah make it clear that while nationalism is not prohibited, it should never be used to justify aggression or oppression against others.
At IMN, we stand firmly against terrorism, anti-national thinking, or any activity that harms the integrity of our nation. We believe in peace, unity, and the love of our homeland. We are proud Indians who cherish the values of our country and are dedicated to working for its welfare and prosperity.
