Preventing Disputes During Challenging Times
Differences of opinion and disagreements are an inevitable part of our lives.
During these times of isolation, the incidence is known to increase.
These differences, if not addressed promptly can escalate into major disputes and conflicts.
When one is faced with a conflict, our human instinct kicks into a Fight, Flight or Freeze mode.
Remember every action has a reaction.
The reaction of fight can lead to consequences that one may come to regret later.

Re: Shia Imami Ismaili Conciliation and Arbitraion Boards (CABs)
ICAB awarded global accreditation in international standards of mediation and conflict resolution

The Ismaili International Conciliation and Arbitration Board (ICAB) is pleased to announce that, after a thorough review, its mediation training programme has been recognised as a “Certified Mediator Training Program” by the International Mediation Institute https://imimediation.org/ (IMI).
The IMI is the only organisation that establishes global professional standards for mediators—it is considered the gold standard for mediation accreditation. This recognition means that CAB’s 40-hour mediation training programme meets the independent international standards established by the IMI. Every CAB member must undertake this training upon their appointment.
“When we revamped our training programme 13 years ago, our goal was to develop a best-in-class training programme to ensure that we could offer the Jamat the highest quality of dispute resolution services,” said Rahim Moloo, Chair of ICAB. “The IMI’s accreditation of our training programme confirms that we have achieved this standard. And the Jamat should feel confident that, when they come to CAB, our members are well-equipped to help them resolve their disputes in a non-adversarial manner, consistent with the ethics of our faith.”
ICAB delivers a mediation training course to CAB mediators around the world through its global faculty of volunteer certified mediation trainers. In many countries, CAB mediators supplement this training with additional local training in civil, commercial and family mediation. High-quality training is vital to the effectiveness of CAB’s services to the Jamat, and this accreditation underscores CAB’s ongoing commitment to excellence in mediation. Over the past 13 years, more than 2,500 CAB mediators have been trained globally in 11 different languages.
CAB’s main objective is to assist individuals with resolving their disputes in an effective and confidential manner within the ethics of Islam. Almost all of the cases are resolved through a voluntary and confidential process of mediation—a process where a CAB mediator assists and guides parties to achieve a mutually acceptable settlement. As impartial and neutral third parties, CAB mediators seek to ensure that differences between parties are resolved through tolerance, understanding, compassion, dialogue, forgiveness and generosity.

Re: Shia Imami Ismaili Conciliation and Arbitraion Boards (CABs)

Finding Common Ground: Helping Resolve Disputes with Dignity
When Zarah and her spouse separated, civil discussions quickly turned into costly legal battles. When Karima and her brother had a serious disagreement relating to their aging mother, family unity was at risk. When Amir and his business partner clashed over the company's future, a decade-long partnership hung in the balance.
This week as we mark Conflict Resolution Day, it's worth remembering that conflict doesn't have to lead to crisis. Whether it's a family estate dispute, a separation, or a disagreement with a business partner, the Conciliation and Arbitration Board (CAB) helps Jamati members navigate difficult moments with empathy and integrity.
Established under Imamat guidance, CAB offers a cost-effective, confidential alternative to litigation. Trained and accredited volunteer mediators guide individuals and families toward mutually agreeable solutions through dialogue - preserving relationships, not just resolving disputes.
Mediation is provided across key areas: Matrimonial matters • Family and estate issues • Commercial and employment disputes.
All services are: Free • Confidential • Non-adversarial • Rooted in the ethics and values of our faith.
If you or someone you know is facing a dispute, reach out to ask for support.

Any differences must be resolved through tolerance, through understanding, through compassion, through dialogue, through forgiveness, through generosity, all of which represent the ethics of Islam.

(Mawlana Shah Karim, Al Khwabi, Syria, 9 November 2001)
When members of our community face a dispute, it can affect their daily life in many ways. It can take up their time, energy and peace of mind. It can also impact those around them, including children, partners and other family or community members.
5 things you may not know about the Dispute Resolution service available to our community, through NCAB
Mediation offers a confidential, calm and constructive way to resolve disagreements. A mediator is a trained, independent person who helps keep conversations clear and organised. They are impartial and will not judge, blame, or decide the outcome. Their role is to guide the discussion fairly so everyone can explain their views, look at options and agree a way forward that works for them. The mediator remains neutral.
Your privacy is protected. Confidentiality is at the heart of our work and personal details are never shared without your consent. Even at NCAB board level, the names of parties are not discussed. Private information is never passed to The National Council, other institutions or Mukhi Kamadia Saheban without your permission.
Our mediators reflect the diversity of the Jamat. Together, they speak 10 languages - Arabic, English, Farsi, German, Gujarati, Hindi, Kutchi, Portuguese, Swedish and Urdu. They bring an understanding of our faith, cultural sensitivity, and a deep respect for the communities we serve.
Every NCAB mediator completes intensive, internationally recognised training before taking on any cases. Their learning does not stop there. They maintain high professional standards through structured ongoing training, ensuring their skills remain current and in line with global best practice.
Neutrality guides everything we do. We do not take sides and we treat every person with fairness and respect, regardless of age, gender, status, position, wealth or faith. Our mediators are trained to manage power imbalances and challenging behaviours so that every voice is heard.
