IMCN CULTURE MANIFESTO

VERSION 1.0

Mission Statement

IMCN exists to provide an independent digital platform for Muslims to learn and understand the Qur'an away from political influence and sectarianism. It fosters a global Muslim community where members connect with each other, share knowledge, grow spiritually, and support the education of the next generation of Muslims — including new Muslim converts.

Independent Learning

Free from political agendas and sectarian biases to focus on authentic Quranic education.

Community Building

Connecting Muslims worldwide to share knowledge and support each other's spiritual growth.

Education Focus

Supporting both lifelong Muslims and new converts in their Quranic studies.

Core Values

Independent Intellect

We encourage critical thinking and mathematics, especially when engaging with Islamic ideas or traditions and discourage cognitive dissonance.

Understanding the Qur'an

Our community values authentic understanding of the Qur'an, particularly in its original Arabic, and supports accessible education for all users.

The Courage to Question

We respect those who challenge widely accepted — but incorrect — Islamic narratives, with the aim of reviving truth, not causing division.

Global Muslim Belonging

We are part of a diverse background. Every user is expected to uphold the dignity of our faith and community in their interactions — both within and beyond IMCN.

"وَقُولُوا لِلنَّاسِ حُسْنًا"

"And speak to people good [words]..." – Qur'an 2:83

We take respect seriously because God commands it. Foul language and personal attacks are not only against platform policy — they violate our core Islamic values.

Our Responsibility

Moderation Approach

The IMCN team uses both human moderators and automated filters to uphold this culture. Repeated violations may result in warnings, restrictions, or removal from the community.

Fair Enforcement

All moderation actions are taken with careful consideration of context and intent. We aim to educate first, but will take stronger measures when necessary to protect the community.
