5 Locations - 1 Unforgettable Week

United Islam Awareness Week (“United IAW” or “UIAW”) is an annual, week-long event that seeks 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

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.


United Islam Awareness Week 2023

Unlocking the Best Life: Know Your Purpose

We believe Islam is the key to unlocking your best life, no matter who you are, where you come from, or how you speak. Islam’s solution to life begins and is always connected to knowing our purpose.

Join us in Saskatoon, Regina, Edmonton, Calgary, and Vancouver for the week of compelling and diverse lectures on how Islam unlocks timeless solutions for the best life for humanity.
