IRCICA

In Istanbul's heart, a place so grand, Stands the Research Centre, oh so grand. With history, art, and culture in its name, It's a treasure trove, a place of fame. Founded in '79, with a vision so clear, To preserve Islamic heritage, far and near. Proposed by Turkey, in the OIC's embrace, A cultural center, a sacred space. In '82, it opened its doors wide, To scholars and learners, side by side. Academic principles, they hold so dear, To study Muslim history, crystal clear. Arts and sciences, in Islam's embrace, A celebration of culture, a beautiful chase. With 57 members, united they stand, Permanent representatives, a helping hand. So let's explore this center of delight, Where knowledge and beauty take flight. The Islamic Research Centre, a beacon so bright, Guiding us towards understanding, day and night.
