ABOUT AIC TRUST

  • The name of the Trust is Aligarh Interfaith Center Trust (AIC)

OUR VISION

  1. In the trouble-torn World Today, Interfaith Understanding is the only Way. As it is said: there cannot be peace in the world without peace among communities and there cannot be peace among communities without interfaith dialogue and understanding.
  2. The root cause of religious conflicts is lop-sided and wrong interpretation and understanding of the religion and culture. The essence of all religions is spirituality, morality, love, tolerance, and belief in the innate dignity, equality, and brotherhood of man, irrespective of gender, creed, caste, or race.
