The organization is a platform for Islamic modernist activists and a forum for debating key issues among them. It holds regular meetings, lectures and research and turns them into books.

Mehdi Bazargan and Ezzatollah Sahabi were among its founders. Alongside Islamic Association of Students, the organization was active against outreach of Marxist ideology before Iranian Revolution and was one of the professional bodies that served as a platform for religious activism, playing an important role in shaping the Islamic ideology of the revolution. Ali Shariati was among occasional lecturers at the organization.{{cite book |author=Ali Rahnema|title=An Islamic Utopian: A Political Biography of Ali Shariati|publisher=I.B.Tauris|page=235|date=2000|isbn=1860645526}} A number of leading members in the association held government portfolios during Interim Government of Iran.{{cite book |author=Richard W.
