PRESS RELEASE: July 8, 2004

Islamic Organization of North America Assumes Mantle of Islamic Activism in North America from Tanzeem-e-Islami North America.

Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh,

One year after becoming independent , the Islamic activist movement in North America founded by Dr. Israr Ahmad has reorganized under the newly registered Islamic Organization of North America (IONA). IONA replaces the former Tanzeem-e-Islami North America (TINA). This restructuring does not affect our core objectives or methodology. 

The fundamental objective of IONA is to assist Muslims in attaining the pleasure of Allah (SWT) in order to gain salvation in the Hereafter. As ordained by the Qur'an and Sunnah, this can only be accomplished through sincere conviction of the heart (Iman); complete and loving submission to the Will of Allah ('Ibadah); bearing witness unto mankind (Shahada 'ala-Nass); and establishing a just socio-politico-economic Islamic order (Iqaamut-ud-Deen). 
May Allah (SWT) bless North America with Islam.

Islamic Organization of North America
