The Centre (also spelled 'Center') for Peace and Spirituality International (CPS International) was founded by Maulana Wahiduddin Khan in 2001 (New Delhi)[1] to promote interfaith dialogue[2] and reinforce the culture of peace.[3][4] CPS International is said to encourage its member to become 'ambassadors of peace' by promoting positivity and interfaith dialogue.[5]

The organization website says CPS International draws inspiration from the Quran and Sunnah and seeks to share the spiritual principles of Islam with the world.[6] CPS International, with the support of Goodword Books, is also a global distributor of Quran translations.[7][8]
