In the program organized with the cooperation of KIM Foundation, Council of European Muslims and Istanbul Foundation for Knowledge and Culture, efforts to introduce Islam in Europe and support models for new Muslims were discussed.

The Introduction to Islam Forum Program was realized between the dates of January 23–25, 2026, in the building of the Istanbul Foundation for Knowledge and Culture. Hosted by our foundation and organized with the cooperation of KIM Foundation and Council of European Muslims, the program brought together important names in their fields.

Within the scope of the forum, strategies for introducing Islam to non-Muslim neighbors living in Europe, dawah experiences, and the topics of how guidance, support and education can be offered to individuals who decide to become Muslim were handled comprehensively. Participants evaluated the methods implemented in different countries by sharing their experiences in the field.

Representatives from many European countries, primarily England, Germany, France, Italy, Norway, Romania and Hungary, participated in the program. The forum, which lasted for three days, offered an important platform towards strengthening international cooperation as well as the sharing of information and experience.

The program, in which current matters encountered in activities of introducing Islam were handled, offered a rich content with the contributions of participants coming from different countries. It is aimed that the environment of consultation and experience sharing established during the forum will provide a new momentum to the dawah works carried out in Europe and further strengthen the cooperation between institutions.
