Islam In Focus started in 1997 as a pilot project for the Islamic Shia Ithnasheri Jammat of Toronto. It was produced on a monthly basis and aired Nationally across Canada on Vision TV. Based on the success it was granted an annual contract which was renewed by the network every year for 6 years until 2003. In 2003 the network requested the duration to shift from monthly to weekly which resulted in the ISIJ electing to temporarily hold broadcasting to work on program content. In 2008 Islam In Focus returned to a weekly spot on 3 specialty channels including Rogers - Express Vu - and Star Choice. The program has a dedicated team of volunteers and is inspired by the resident aalim of ISIJ Toronto - Syed Muhammed Rizvi.
