Though the community continues to grow tremendously throughout the world, the essence of tolerance, love, peace and justice inherent in Islam has been neglected. ISCA aims to revive spiritual practices of the faith in order to reduce societal tensions and promote the fundamental principle of moderation in Islamic belief, as it was practiced throughout these regions in the past.                          After the publication of an article in Newsweek Magazine on saints and miracles in Islam and other faiths (Newsweek, May 1, 2000), ISCA has had numerous inquiries about spirituality and hierarchy in Islam, both of which have existed since the time of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). After a successful trip to South Africa earlier this year, ISCA decided to launch a worldwide tour to countries where major saints lived and holy sites are located.
