Islamic Community of Rome
United for a strong and conscious community
The Islamic Community of Rome (CIR) was born from the meeting of young people, families, and leaders of centers and associations. We join forces to give a voice to Muslims in the capital, defend their rights, and build, together with the entire city, a more just, peaceful, and respectful coexistence.

What drives us
The values that unite us
We come from different backgrounds, but we are moving in the same direction. Here are the principles that guide our work.
Faith that becomes action
For us, Islam is light and responsibility. Prayer, the Quran, and spirituality drive us to care for the people and places we live in. Our faith must leave tangible signs of goodness, not just words.
Unity without erasing differences
We come from different backgrounds, cultures, and life paths. We do not want to erase this plurality; we want to coordinate it. Within CIR, everyone brings their own contribution, but we are all rowing in the same direction.
Service to the community and the city
We were born from the Muslim community, but our vision is broader. We want to be of service to our Muslim brothers and sisters while simultaneously being a positive presence for all of Rome.
Clear dialogue and standing tall
We speak with institutions, media, schools, and associations with respect, but also with dignity. We do not seek privileges: we demand justice, recognition, and genuine spaces for dialogue, without hiding who we are.
Our roots
Our story

A clear demand grows within the Muslim community of Rome: there is a need for greater unity, coordination, and representation. The organizations exist and the work is being done, but a shared voice is missing.
Summer 2025
Determined young people and leaders of centers and associations begin to meet regularly: how to build a coordination body that represents shared responsibility, rather than just a name?
Summer 2025
The community joins forces to organize a major demonstration for Palestine. Previously separate entities choose to stand shoulder to shoulder: proof that the Islamic community of Rome can work in unity.
September 29, 2025

Un ringraziamento alla città di Roma: il dialogo e la conoscenza reciproca sono la risposta più forte alla paura e ai pregiudizi.
Palestina, chi non prende posizione è complice
