The Center for Islamic Research Collaboration and Learning (CIRCLe) was established on October 25, 2010 with an aim of enhancing the understanding of Islam; the current religious discourse in Pakistan; and promoting religious collaboration and harmony through the message of peace taught by Sufi Islam. CIRCLe wants to see a religiously harmonious, socially aware, and forward-looking Pakistan, with the help of an easy to understand language and narrative. CIRCLe is not an organization dedicated entirely to Islamic research. It is an amalgamation of socio-political research, and advocacy for peace, harmony, and tolerance
