What is Reality of Jihad in Islam

Who are We?

Javed Ahmed Ghamidi is a Pakistani Muslim theologian, a Quran scholar, and an educationist. Al-Mawrid U.S. was established in 2014 in order to expand the reach of his effort. In 2019, Al-Mawrid U.S. took on the initiative of establishing the Ghamidi Center of Islamic Learning in Dallas, Texas as a formal educational institute.

Since its inception, Al-Mawrid’s aim has been to conduct research, educate people, and disseminate Islam based purely on Quran and sunnah, freeing it from external influences that have gradually clouded the religious thought of Muslims over the last 14 centuries.
