CIS encourages a creative fusion of contemporary scholarship from all branches of knowledge with the centuries-old Islamic tradition through the application of timeless principles derived from the primary sources of Islam, the Qur'an and the Sunna of the Noble Messenger, upon him be blessings and peace. CIS supports activities aimed at enhancing our religious and scientific understanding of God, life and the cosmos.

The current focus of CIS is the seven-volume Integrated Encyclopedia of the Qur'an (IEQ), a first of its kind project by Muslim scholars in any Western language.
