伊斯兰教数百年来一直激励其信徒基于对其教义的信念为人类作出贡献，形成了源远流长的传统。

Islam has a centuries-long tradition of inspiring its adherents to contribute to humanity based on conviction in its tenets.

前代穆斯林在医学、哲学、建筑、治理等诸多领域都走在前列，作出了重大贡献。我们是一家机构，致力于重新点燃这一传统。

Previous generations of Muslims were on the forefront of contributing to medicine, philosophy, architecture, and governance, among other areas. We are an institute aiming to rekindle this tradition.

持续对伊斯兰教的负面描绘，使穆斯林长期处于防御的境地，他们不得不不断为自己的信仰辩护，同时还要抵御在这种氛围中自然产生的怀疑与不安。因此，年轻的穆斯林应当在智识上得到装备，在精神上得到扎根，使他们能够从容应对针对伊斯兰教经常提出的、足以引发怀疑的各种说法。

Constant negative portrayals of Islam have put Muslims in a defensive position in which they constantly have to justify their convictions, while fighting off the natural doubts and insecurities that arise in such a climate. As such, young Muslims should be intellectually equipped and spiritually anchored in a way that empowers them to deal with the onslaught of doubt-inducing claims routinely leveled against Islam.

我们致力于积极参与当前关于一切与在年轻穆斯林心中树立信念相关话题的讨论。本学院旨在成为这些话题方面值得信赖的来源,通过编撰深入研究的伊斯兰内容,并借助文章、信息图、动画、视频以及前沿技术等多种形式进行传播。这些内容还会被精心编排成课程,供各类教育工作者和社区领袖使用,帮助年轻穆斯林扎根信仰,并为社会做出有见地的贡献。

We aim to actively participate in the current discourse touching on all topics that are related to establishing conviction in the hearts and minds of young Muslims. The institute aims to be the trusted source regarding these topics by generating well-researched Islamic content that is disseminated through various formats including articles, infographics, animations, videos, and cutting-edge technology. This content is also carefully assembled into curricula that can be used by various educators and community leaders to help anchor young Muslims in their faith and produce thoughtful societal contributions.

该研究所是一项非营利性的研究计划,其所有内容均免费开放,供人人取用。这使得每一位寻求答案的人,以及负责为他人解答的人,都能随时获得一份全面的资源。

The Institute is a non-profit research initiative that makes all its content free and accessible. This allows everyone looking for answers, and those tasked with giving answers, to always have a comprehensive resource readily available to them.

我们相信，讲述我们自己的故事，是反驳那套强加于我们社群之上的叙述的唯一途径。

We believe that telling our own story is the only way to counter the narrative that has been forced upon our community.
