As travel becomes easier and the world feels smaller, we are presented with a unique opportunity to better understand one another and to build a diverse and harmonious society.

However, a significant portion of us still lives in fear of the unknown – nearly half of Lithuania’s population, according to surveys, would not want to live next to Muslims. This shows that today, more than ever, it is important to engage in dialogue and get to know one another better.

For this reason, we established Islamo Centras – an open space for everyone who wants to learn about the Islamic faith, culture, history, and community. Our goal is not only to inform but also to inspire dialogue.

We believe that together we can build a society in which Islam is seen as a faith close to Lithuania – one that not only recalls centuries of shared history dating back to the times of Vytautas the Great, but also contributes to shaping a brighter future.

Our story

What we are doing?

We introduce Lithuanians to the religion of Islam and the culture of its followers through social and academic activities.

We aim to show that Islam is a beautiful religion with deep traditions which is close to Lithuanian culture and should not be feared.

We encourage Lithuanian Muslims to be active and useful persons for society, who contribute to the creation of a more beautiful and open Lithuania.

Our goal -

to create a platform, which will help Lithuanians to communicate with Muslims and learn Islam, and will encourage Muslims to become an active and motivated to work part of Lithuanian society.

We build for the future

Cultivating openness and interculturality cannot be limited to one part of society. Therefore, our plan is two-fold - we aim to educate Lithuanian people about Islam and encourage Muslims to actively participate in public life, thus showing that our values and goals are more similar than different!
