• The parties are empowered as they have input into the ultimate agreed upon solution. Likewise, the settlement is often more durable because the parties have participated in the process.

 

• The process is voluntary. If either party does not agree with the conclusion, they are not obliged to accept it.

 

• It is completely confidential so the parties can speak freely and do not have to be concerned that their affairs will be disclosed.

 

• It saves a significant amount of time and money for the participants.

 

• The Islamic mediation process puts focus on the relationship between the individuals. In litigation, relationships can often be damaged, but through Islamic mediation, efforts are made to repair it.

 

• It is entirely risk free. If the mediation is unsuccessful, the parties can proceed with another course of action.

 

• All our mediators are in tune with our community’s sensitivities and will ensure that mediations operate within an Islamic framework and guidelines. Many of our mediators have spent an extensive amount of time studying the Islamic Sciences.

 

• Our mediators are fair and impartial and parties can select their desired mediator. If the parties would like to have two mediators, that option is always available and we can set up a co-mediation.

 

• If the parties collectively conclude that they would prefer a definitive ruling on their case, voluntary binding arbitration is available.
