Our Story

Saving Lives & Building Families Since 1970

ICNA Relief Canada is a department of ICNA Canada, working in the field of community and social development. The Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) is federally registered in Canada as a charitable organization (Registration No. 118951169RR0001) and since 1970 we have built a widely respected reputation through our community welfare work. ICNA Relief Canada is dedicated to reaching out at home and abroad through a wide range of aid and rehabilitation projects; in particular, we endeavour to respond effectively to victims of natural disasters, wherever they occur.

Founded on the timeless teachings of Islam and the legacy of mercy of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ), ICNA Canada has been serving humanity for decades with dedication, compassion, and sincerity. Through faith-driven service, ICNA Canada continues to strengthen communities, uplift the vulnerable, and inspire meaningful change in society.

Our Core Values

Guided by Faith, Driven by Service

Rooted in Islamic principles, our values inspire sincerity, compassion, and unity—ensuring every act of service reflects faith, excellence, and trust.

Sincerity (Ikhlāṣ)

We serve with pure intentions, knowing that every act of kindness, guidance, and support is an act of worship. Our sincerity connects our purpose with faith, making every effort meaningful.

Compassion (Raḥmah):

We place mercy and empathy at the core of all we do, ensuring that every individual feels valued, supported, and cared for—reflecting the compassion that defines our Islamic identity.

Integrity (Amānah):

We uphold truth, honesty, and responsibility in every action and promise. Integrity guides our relationships, strengthens trust, and reminds us that every duty we hold is a sacred trust from Allah.

Excellence (Iḥsān):

We strive for excellence in service, character, and knowledge. By combining professionalism with devotion, we ensure that every task reflects our best effort and brings benefit to others and ourselves.

Unity (Ukhūwah):

We stand together as one Ummah—connected by shared faith, respect, and purpose. Through teamwork, empathy, and understanding, we nurture unity that empowers communities and strengthens collective progress.
