American Institute of Integrated Thought (AIIT) is an independent research initiative, based on ‘Integrated Thought’ towards achieving holistic development. Exploring the interplay between Signs & Technology, Science & Religion, with an integrated lens grounded in revelation. Engaging human potential through divine guidance towards a synergy of ethical values and intellectual illumination.
Vision: That current scientific and technological practices are integrated back into the timeless universal tradition as imagined in the Islamic revelation.
Mission: To cultivate young researchers with discernment, analytical & research skills, along with technological literacy and Islamic philosophical foundation as a preparation for today’s global challenges.
AIIT Focus Areas
| Area | Focus |
| Integrated Education and Research | Integration of Islamic philosophy in contemporary education; Ethics, morality, and social responsibility in curriculum development |
| Truth Matters | God (Al-Haqq) matters. Promoting the insight that man is part of God’s world and is in need of God and His revelation. Refuting any ideology that seeks to confound this foundational insight. Promoting Truth, refuting falsehood |
| Emerging Technologies & Policies | Reconciling the great divide between Science & Signs, Reason & Revelation |
| Youth Empowerment | Training STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Allah-Awareness, Math) educated visionaries |
Premise
Research Skill Deficiency: In the contemporary world, identifying with a prevailing theory or belief is prioritized over solid grounding in foundational research skills in our education. This is a major factor to the dogmatic zeitgeist of today.
Technology Misuse: Emerging technologies have changed the way we do things. Ethical and responsible use of appropriate technology is vital for global harmony and scientific discovery.
Lack of Integration: The current discrepancy in our education leads to the segregation of reason from revelation, man from his own essence and needs. What is left is man isolated with his own anxieties and impulses, unequipped with the necessary skillset to navigate through life.
