The Islam Presentation Committee is one of the largest comprehensive fully active Da’wa centers in the Middle East. For the last few years the IPC has been planning to open a fully functioning center to present Islam to its English speaking population which is made up of expatriates who have settled in Kuwait working in the fields of business, education, medicine, and engineering. The other large portion is in the not so easy to reach American military and the easy to reach civilian contractors who work on the bases. The IPC has settled on the name TIES which is an acronym for the Truth of Islam for English Speakers. The idea is that the human race is built upon many common ties and although we may differ on religion we should come to know one another which is the slogan taken from verse 13 of soorah al-Hujurat.

The objectives of TIES:

1.    Proper presentation of the message of Islam to English Speakers
