In Islam, the Holy Quran offers explicit direction to share resources beyond one?s requirements, and to care for the poor and those in need.

It drives its efforts to build the intellectual capital and institutions needed to address the problems of our world today. An example is the Global Centre for Pluralism which we have recently founded in partnership with the Government of Canada.
