our story

The Clear Islam was born from a simple idea: what if our neighbors had a place to ask their questions about our faith without fear of judgment or agenda? We saw the headlines, we heard the misconceptions, and we knew we had a responsibility to share the Islam we know and love, a faith of profound beauty, intellectual depth, and radical compassion. We are a dedicated organization committed to providing the resources and support needed to fulfill this mission with professionalism and sincerity.

our values

  • Respect: We honor all faiths and backgrounds. Every question is treated with the seriousness and respect it deserves.
  • Authenticity: We provide information based on Islam’s primary sources, the Quran and the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), free from cultural distortion or political agenda.
  • Dialogue: We believe in two-way conversation. We are here to listen as much as we are here to share.
  • Service: We are committed to serving our community by promoting education and mutual understanding.

who is your Lord?

Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “He is Allah—One ˹and Indivisible˺; Allah—the Sustainer ˹needed by all˺. He has never had offspring, nor was He born. And there is none comparable to Him.”

- The Clear Quran® (Surah 112)

To Allah belong the east and the west, so wherever you turn you are facing ˹towards˺ Allah. Surely Allah is All-Encompassing, All-Knowing. They say, “Allah has offspring.” Glory be to Him! In fact, to Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth—all are subject to His Will. ˹He is˺ the Originator of the heavens and the earth! When He decrees a matter, He simply tells it, “Be!” And it is! (The Clear Quran, 2:115-117)

Power and Rulership over the Cosmos belongs only to God, so make your obedience, your worship, your ultimate trust & reliance, your religion for God alone. (The Clear Quran, 40:65)

With Him are the keys of the unseen—no one knows them except Him. And He knows what is in the land and sea. Not even a leaf falls without His knowledge, nor a grain in the darkness of the earth or anything—green or dry—but is ˹written˺ in a perfect Record. (The Clear Quran, 6:59)

All praise is for Allah Who created the heavens and the earth and made darkness and light. Yet the disbelievers set up equals to their Lord ˹in worship˺. He is the One Who created you from clay, then appointed a term ˹for your death˺ and another known only to Him ˹for your resurrection˺—yet you continue to doubt! He is the Only True God in the heavens and the earth. He knows whatever you conceal and whatever you reveal, and knows whatever you do. (The Clear Quran, 6:1-3)

Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. His light is like a niche in which there is a lamp, the lamp is in a crystal, the crystal is like a shining star, lit from ˹the oil of˺ a blessed olive tree, ˹located˺ neither to the east nor the west, whose oil would almost glow, even without being touched by fire. Light upon light! Allah guides whoever He wills to His light. And Allah sets forth parables for humanity. For Allah has ˹perfect˺ knowledge of all things. (The Clear Quran, 24:35)

what are the angels?

To Him belong all those in the heavens and the earth. And those nearest to Him are not too proud to worship Him, nor do they tire. They glorify ˹Him˺ day and night, never wavering. (The Clear Quran, 21:20-1)

For each one there are successive angels before and behind, protecting them by Allah’s command. Indeed, Allah would never change a people’s state ˹of favour˺ until they change their own state ˹of faith˺. And if it is Allah’s Will to torment a people, it can never be averted, nor can they find a protector other than Him (The Clear Quran, 13:11)

All praise is for Allah, the Originator of the heavens and the earth, Who made angels ˹as His˺ messengers with wings—two, three, or four. He increases in creation whatever He wills. Surely Allah is Most Capable of everything. (The Clear Quran, 35:1)

He is the One Who sends down angels with revelation by His command to whoever He wills of His servants. (The Clear Quran, 16:2)

what is the scripture?

Indeed, We revealed the Torah, containing guidance and light, by which the prophets, who submitted themselves to Allah, made judgments for Jews. So too did the rabbis and scholars judge according to Allah’s Book, with which they were entrusted and of which they were made keepers. So do not fear the people; fear Me! Nor trade my revelations for a fleeting gain. And those who do not judge by what Allah has revealed are ˹truly˺ the disbelievers. (The Clear Quran, 5:44)

Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “O People of the Book! You have nothing to stand on unless you observe the Torah, the Gospel, and what has been revealed to you from your Lord.” And your Lord’s revelation to you ˹O Prophet˺ will only cause many of them to increase in wickedness and disbelief. So do not grieve for the people who disbelieve. (The Clear Quran, 5:68)

Indeed, We gave the Scripture to Moses—so let there be no doubt ˹O Prophet˺ that you ˹too˺ are receiving revelations—1and We made it a guide for the Children of Israel. (The Clear Quran, 32:23)

We have certainly sent messengers before you ˹O Prophet˺ and blessed them with wives and offspring. It was not for any messenger to bring a sign without Allah’s permission. Every destined matter has a ˹set˺ time. Allah eliminates and confirms what He wills, and with Him is the Master Record. (The Clear Quran, 13:38-9)

what is righteousness?

This is the Book! There is no doubt about it—a guide for those mindful ˹of Allah, who believe in the unseen, establish prayer, and donate from what We have provided for them, and who believe in what has been revealed to you ˹O Prophet˺ and what was revealed before you, and have sure faith in the Hereafter. It is they who are ˹truly˺ guided by their Lord, and it is they who will be successful. (The Clear Quran, 2:2-5)

Righteousness is not in turning your faces towards the east or the west. Rather, the righteous are those who believe in Allah, the Last Day, the angels, the Books, and the prophets; who give charity out of their cherished wealth to relatives, orphans, the poor, ˹needy˺ travellers, beggars, and for freeing captives; who establish prayer, pay alms-tax, and keep the pledges they make; and who are patient in times of suffering, adversity, and in ˹the heat of˺ battle. It is they who are true ˹in faith˺, and it is they who are mindful ˹of Allah˺. (The Clear Quran, 2:177)

The Jews and Christians each claim that none will enter Paradise except those of their own faith. These are their desires. Reply, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Show ˹me˺ your proof if what you say is true.” But no! Whoever submits themselves to Allah and does good will have their reward with their Lord. And there will be no fear for them, nor will they grieve. (The Clear Quran, 2:111-12)

why was I created?

I did not create jinn and humans except to worship Me. (The Clear Quran, 51:56)

˹He is the One˺ Who created death and life in order to test which of you is best in deeds. And He is the Almighty, All-Forgiving. (The Clear Quran, 67:2)

˹Remember˺ when your Lord said to the angels, “I am going to place a successive ˹human˺ authority on earth.” They asked ˹Allah˺, “Will You place in it someone who will spread corruption there and shed blood while we glorify Your praises and proclaim Your holiness?” Allah responded, “I know what you do not know.” (The Clear Quran, 2:30)

Did you then think that We had created you without purpose, and that you would never be returned to Us?

(The Clear Quran, 23:115)
