Description
Who are We?
Al-Mawrid US was established in 2014 in order to educate people on Islam. In 2019, Al-Mawrid US took on the initiative of establishing the Ghamidi Center of Islamic Learning in Dallas, Texas as a formal educational institute. It is named after Javed Ahmed Ghamidi (b. 1951), a Pakistani Muslim theologian, a Qur’an scholar, and an educationist.
Since its inception, Al-Mawrid’s aim has been to conduct research, educate people, and disseminate Islam based purely on the Qur’an and the Sunnah, freeing it from external influences that have gradually clouded the religious thought of Muslims over the last 14 centuries.

Ghamidi Center of Islamic Learning (GCIL) is a religious education and research institute in Carrollton, Texas. It is an initiative of Al-Mawrid United States (AMUS).
The sole purpose of our existence is to educate people about moral, ethical, and human values as taught in Islam. We aim to separate history and culture from religion and teach it in its purest form as a field of study rather than as a creed. Our teaching method uses common sense, argument, and logic, and we highly value critical thinking over the blind following.
