We unite imams, religious leaders and experts from different parts of Sweden. Together, we develop knowledge, guidance and cooperation in matters relating to the religious lives and participation of Muslims in society.
Sveriges Religiösa Råd
Knowledge that guides. Community that unites.

Through education, community dialogue and religious guidance, we work towards a safe and inclusive society where faith, responsibility and active citizenship go hand in hand.

OUR STORY
From initiative to national council
The Council's work began in 2003 through an initiative from the Imam Malik Center to bring together imams and religious leaders.
In 2017, the organization was officially registered as the Swedish Council of Religions. Today, the council works with knowledge, guidance, education and public dialogue in Sweden.
