The theme of the ICIC II is that Upholding Islam as Rahmatan Lil Alamin Toward Juctice and Peace.

Dealing with the objectives, the ICIS II will attempt to concretize the role of religion and to formulate the values of Islam as Rahmatan Lil Alamin to the spirit of social movement for change from global paradox toward global justice and peace.
