The International Conference on Information & Communication Technology for the Muslim World (ICT4M) is a conference that gathers academicians, researchers, practitioners, professionals, and students to address issues and challenges of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) within the Muslim world. ICT has been identified as a critical entity that is crucial and pervasive in our daily life for conducting relevant activities and tasks. The use of ICT can improve the effectiveness and productivity at workplaces and homes. ICT must be seen as a strength that complements our role and responsibilities as leaders, professionals, workers, and students of Islam.

ABOUT ICT4M
Information is needed to effectively perform teaching, learning, and delivering da’wah, and its practical implementation. Thus, ICT and its infrastructure should be considered as a factor in the equation of our duties in all aspects of life: in organizations, schools, and mosques. The main Islamic principles should be taken as guidelines for laying the foundation of the Islamic code of practice in ICT.
