Interfaith
15 May 2023
The concept of Taqreeb, as we define it, is the propagation of inter/intra faith and community understanding so that we may better unite for peaceful causes. In our attempt to understand each other’s ideologies, it does not mean that we must homogenize diverse groups or ignore differences. It does not mean “taking things lying down” or giving up one’s rights or culture. We believe there is nothing passive about Taqreeb. It is an active effort to understand our differences as well as commonalities and build bridges.
Our aim is to learn to respect the differences we cannot reconcile and find common ground on which we can build our relationships. Our hope is that these concepts and ideas will develop and positive reverberations in the communities we live in through grassroots movements and policy decisions.
