3. To Address Contemporary Issues: Bridge the gap between classical Hadith texts and modern societal, scientific, and humanitarian challenges, ensuring the timeless relevance of the Sunnah.

4. To Promote International Scholarship: Facilitate a robust exchange of ideas between local and international scholars, promoting a refined understanding of Hadith and countering extremism or misinterpretation.
