About Us
Fostering dialogue between Islamic tradition and the principles of liberty for a more prosperous and peaceful world
Who We Are
Islam and Liberty Network (L) Foundation is legally organised as a non-profit Labuan foundation registered in Malaysia and is governed by an international board of directors, all of whom except for the part-time CEO give their time freely. Founded in 2011, it is a platform for researchers, academics and public intellectuals to explore and promote a Muslim case for religious, economic and political freedom by disseminating knowledge and developing human resources. We are funded by like minded foundations and individuals.
Mission and Theme
The Islam & Liberty Network exists to advance the understanding of religious, political, and economic freedom for peace and prosperity in Muslim majority countries.
We were founded in 2011 to bring together researchers, academics, and public intellectuals to demonstrate the consistency of the universal values of religious, political and economic freedom with Islam. Our research outputs show that Islam is not just consistent with freedom; indeed Islam requires freedom.
Our annual programme includes an international conference, training workshops, and publishing articles, papers, podcasts and webinars which reach thousands of interested individuals.
Islam and Liberty Network was awarded Asia Liberty Award for 2020 for "establishing a Muslim case for free society" for its work in Asia and Middle East.
