Egypt's Dar Al-Ifta

Insight Electronic Magazine

Insight is an electronic free magazine that was first published by Egypt’s Dar Al-Ifta in October 2016. The first 10 issues were exclusively dedicated to refuting extremist ideologies and to correcting the erroneous religious misconceptions spread by terrorist groups. Despite the importance of combating religious terrorism and extremism, we found that it is equally important to additionally cover other topics that touch our daily lives to clarify the true teachings of Islam on a variety of issues.

Our Mission

We aim to present the authentic and authoritative side of Islam. Our objective is to defeat extremist ideologies and islamophobia. In addition to correcting the misconceptions about Islam around the world.
