Our Quality Policy
Within the frame of its foundational vision and mission, our Institute’s quality policy is based on interdisciplinary methods that use Sufism’s holistic and in-depth perceptions with the purpose of fostering a scientific and artistic environment that serves humanity in reaching peace and happiness. The Institute’s graduate studies, continuing education programs, and supporting activities are all geared toward cultivating individuals that want to better understand learning, themselves and the world; who have absorbed humanitarian and ethical values; a thinking, searching, creative individual that is responsive to art; someone who understands the worth of time; someone who is hardworking and magnanimous. Works that are done are supported by artistic performances, exhibitions and other activities organized in the areas of classical Islamic arts and music. The knowledge that is produced in the Institute is spread throughout the public. The Institute also encourages the study of Sufi texts written in the Ottoman cultural geography, and works to spread the recognition both of these works and of Turkish as a language of the field.
