Beyond publishing, the organization extended its operations to building mosques in various interior areas of Kenya and in public/government institutions.
The Islamic Foundation Kenya has been active for more than half a century, initially focusing on the production, publication, and distribution of Islamic literature, including the popular Swahili translation of the Quran (Quran Takatifu) by Sheikh Abdalla Farsy.
The foundation established the Kisauni Islamic Institute to train Imams, Madrassa teachers, and scholars, expanding its influence in educational development.
The IFK currently operates orphanages, provides educational support, runs Ramadan Iftar programs, and supports new converts through empowerment programs.
The longtime chairman and founder of the Islamic Foundation, Sheikh Mohammad Akhtar Wajid Rao, passed away on February 14, 2024.
