Welcome to the IANA CONVENTION

Rooted in Faith, Rising Together

Rooted in Faith, Rising Together, reminds us that true growth begins with strong Iman (faith). When our hearts are firmly grounded in the teachings of the Qur’an and Sunnah, our communities flourish. As we face the challenges of today, we rise together united by La ilaha illa Allah, inspired by the legacy of our Prophet ﷺ, and committed to building a future anchored in tawheed, unity, and service.

Join us at this year’s IANA Convention as we reconnect with our roots and rise together for the sake of Allah.

First Annual Quran Competition

The Qur’an is at the heart of who we are; and now, for the first time, the IANA Convention invites our youth to take part in a competition that celebrates just that. Whether your child is just beginning or well on their way, this is more than a contest; it’s a chance to stand with pride, recite with heart, and be surrounded by a community that values every letter and effort.

Vendors

The IANA Convention is home to a robust vendor marketplace featuring over 30+ Muslim-owned businesses. This carefully curated space showcases a diverse range of products; from Islamic books and modest clothing to handcrafted goods and halal treats. It is not only an opportunity to shop, but to support and uplift our entrepreneurial community, strengthening the economic fabric of the ummah in a dignified, purposeful way.

Youth Basketball Tournament

Every year, the IANA Convention hosts a high-energy youth basketball tournament that brings together young Muslims from across North America. It’s more than just a game — it’s a chance for youth to build brotherhood, teamwork, and lasting memories while engaging in something they love. The tournament is designed to promote unity, fun, and physical activity — all while keeping hearts connected to khair and community.
