The party is allegedly tied with the Muslim Brotherhood,{{cite thesis|type=M.A.|last=Rasoulpour|first=Khabat|date=2013|orig-year=1392|title=Sociologic explanation of establishment of Iranian Call and Reform Organization (Iranian Muslim Brotherhood) and evolution of its discourse|publisher=Tarbiat Moallem University|url=http://ganj.irandoc.ac.ir/articles/605772|language=fa|access-date=2017-03-04|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170305042535/http://ganj.irandoc.ac.ir/articles/605772|archive-date=2017-03-05|url-status=dead}} however it states there is no affiliation.

According to Ali Rebaz, a senior Kurdistan Islamic Union politician, the two parties have good relations with each other.{{cite interview|title=Kurdistan and the Challenge of Islamism|url=https://hudson.org/research/11528-kurdistan-and-the-challenge-of-islamism|date=14 August 2015|interviewer=Ali, Rebaz|publisher=Hudson Institute|first=Hadi|last=Ali|quote=In Iran, there is a big Islamic organization called “Islah and Dawa Group” that belongs to the Muslim Brotherhood. They are not registered as a political group because political activities are not allowed in Iran. Obviously, the regime in Iran is a sectarian regime and will always try to limit the activities of local Sunnis. Islah and Dawa are not happy with the regime’s sectarian policies, but I think there is very little they can do if they want to stay away from serious trouble. Because of their Muslim Brotherhood ties, they have good relations with the KIU.}}
