AMAN is a network of progressive Muslims in Asia, seeking to respond in a small way to the numerous challenges that the people in Asia are facing: elite corruption, materialistic life style, increasing ethnic tension, violence against women and children and environment degradation.

AMAN seeks active collaboration with other communities of faith, in order to promote human dignity and social justice.

Beginning in 2002 AMAN has offered Research Fellowships on the topic of  Islam in Southeast Asia: Views from Within.

Since Islam embodies eternal values and principles of Truth, Justice, Compassion, Freedom and Equality, it is only right that Muslims seek guidance from their religion in order to meet the challenges of the times.

Goal

To promote human dignity and social justice for all, by encouraging intercultural and inter religious dialogue and cooperation.
