Now as IIPR, we enhance our cooperation in the stream benefiting from interfaith dialogue for peace building, reflecting on the concept of global justice, tolerance, respect, rationality and spirituality. IIPR has the heritage of a well background of holding 28 international events inside and outside of Iran including Vatican (The Holy See), Germany, Lebanon, Switzerland, Austria, Poland, Norway, Finland, Sweden and France.

The main motto of IIPR is derived from Qur’anic verses as well as the famous lifestyle highlights of Prophet Muhammad (S) and Ahlul-Bayt (A.S.).

It is also paid attention in IIPR to the famous statements by clerics, scholars, professors and other followers of different faiths all around the globe. As illustrated in the logo of IIPR, different colors, as a rainbow, had created a crescent of peaceful coexistence for all human beings in the world, provided that they step forward for the fulfillment of such mottoes.

IIPR’s Motto

One of the other important mottoes of IIPR is the famous statement of Professor Hans Küng:

• “No peace among the nations without peace among the religions.
• No peace among the religions without dialogue between the religions.
• No dialogue between the religions without investigation of the foundation of the religions.”

Main Objectives of IIPR

• Introducing the real image of Islam in regard with interfaith and intercultural peaceful coexistence,
• Creating a platform for fostering mutual understanding between the followers of different religions,
• Cooperating with thinkers and leaders of other religions around the world,
• Undertaking research on the common points between different religions,
• Promoting solidarity among the leaders and followers of divine religions with a view to encountering the spiritual and political crises of the world, and
• Introducing the principles of Islamic thought, in general, and Shiism, in particular, to promote better understanding about pure Islam as well as to remove the existing misunderstandings.
