United Islam Awareness Week (“United IAW” or “UIAW”) is an annual event established in 2013 that unites, trains, and develops Muslim communities across organizations and Canadian university campuses. United IAW is a week-long campaign to represent the true message of Islam and its relevance to humanity. United Islam Awareness Week invites thousands of students, faculty, staff and people from all walks of life to learn about the universal and timeless message of Islam through the use of cutting-edge technology, marketing, and professionally planned da’wah (outreach/informational) booths, keynote lectures, and interactive live sessions. 

As part of the effort, the United IAW team engages Muslim intellectuals and professionals in the field of Islamic outreach from across the globe to deliver keynote lectures with a common, contemporary theme. Every year, a theme is chosen that focuses on delivering the true, unaltered message of Islam with the current context and climate in mind. 

This Winter 2026 – United Islam Awareness Week (United IAW) is back inshaAllah (God-Willing)! Join us from January 24 to February 1 for a week full of compelling and diverse talks, events, engagement booths and more across Western Canada! 

This year’s theme is “The Algorithm” which is blurring the lines between right and wrong. When you are scrolling through your social media feeds, are you really seeing the truth of what is happening in the world, or are you being shown a narrative that is being closely controlled and monitored? Social media does not decide what is right and what is wrong. Instead, there is a Divine Code that has been sent to humanity which clearly outlines and differentiates between good and bad. Join us as we dive into this Divine Code and show how humanity can benefit from it and be able to look past the algorithm to see the actual truth.  

Join us in Saskatoon, Regina, Edmonton, White Rock, and Burnaby for United Islam Awareness Week 2026! This event is being hosted in collaboration this year with the United IAW Organization, Edmonton Islamic Academy, British Columbia Muslim Association, Masjid Al-Salaam, White Rock Muslim Association, Islamic Association of Saskatchewan (Regina), University of Regina Muslim Students’ Association, and University of Saskatchewan Muslim Students’ Association. 

Stay tuned for more information and for the schedule of events coming near you, the speakers, lecture topics, and more!
