Muslims for Progressive Values (MPV) is an inclusive community rooted in the traditional Qur’anic ideals of human dignity and social justice. We welcome all who are interested in discussing, promoting and working for the implementation of progressive values — human rights, freedom of expression, and separation of church and state — as well as inclusive and tolerant understandings of Islam.
Welcome!

The goal of Literary Zikr is to revitalize discourse on Islamic theology (and the lived realities of contemporary Muslims) by introducing thought-provoking and rigorously researched scholarship to a young audience. Literary Zikr is a website that will provide the academic works of world-renowned scholars of Islam in simple and youth-friendly language.
 
By bringing together scholars of progressive Islamic thought and Muslim youth in search of answers, we hope to bridge the gap that often exists between theory and practice while also expanding the reach of the important and invigorating scholarship of academicians.

In the latest Gallup poll (page 25) 55% of Muslim men and 42% of women answered "None" to the question of which national Muslim American Organization represents you.

Are you one of the majority of Muslims seeking an organization that reflects your values. Do you believe that Islam is inherently progressive, inclusive and egalitarian? Do you want to join a diverse community that reflects all races, genders, sexual orientations and sectarian affiliations? Do you want to pray in spaces where families can worship together (like we do in Mecca), where women can lead coed congregations, and where mixed faith couples are welcome?
