About Us

Maulana Wahiduddin Khan is an Islamic spiritual scholar who has adopted peace as the mission of his life. Known for his Gandhian views, he considers non-violence as the only method to achieve success.
 
Internationally recognized for his contributions to world peace, he has received, among others, the Demiurgus Peace International Award, the Padma Bhushan, the Rajiv Gandhi National Sadbhavna Award and the National Citizen's Award. A recent book, The 500 Most Influential Muslims of 2009 by Georgetown University, Washington DC, has named him "Islam’s Spiritual Ambassador to the world.” His approach, the book points out, is "popular among Indians, both Muslim and non-Muslim."
 
Born in Azamgarh in 1925, the Maulana was educated in a traditional seminary. From his early years, he showed a voracious appetite for modern knowledge, spending entire days in the library. As a result he became well versed in both classical Islamic learning and modern disciplines. His extensive research led him to conclude that the need of the hour was to present Islamic teachings in the style and language of the post-scientific era.

About our founder : Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

Centre for Peace and Spirituality International

Maulana Wahiduddin Khan has always been an advocate of working in a low-profile way. This includes addressing the minds of individuals rather than speaking to crowds from stage. Individuals constitute the basic unit of a society, and if individuals are prepared to live according to the culture of peace, it would have a far-reaching effect in reform of the nation as a whole. To this end, he set up Centre for Peace and Spirituality, or CPS International, a non-profit organization founded in 2001. CPS members come from all walks of life. Being spiritually and intellectually trained, they have taken it as their life’s mission to become ambassadors of peace for the world. Many of CPS activities focus on engaging in dialogue with people of other religions in the spirit of mutual learning, undertaking translations of the Quran in different languages and conveying its message to those who are inquisitive and participating in conferences and seminars to systematically present the Islamic position with respect to modernity. Members of CPS around the world have distributed over six million copies of the Quran.
