-'''Islamic ecumenism''' (Arabic: '''التقريب''', ''Taqrīb'', lit. 'rapprochement') refers to modern intellectual and institutional efforts aimed at reducing sectarian distance among Muslim communities, especially between [[Sunni Islam|Sunni]] and [[Shia Islam|Shia]] schools of thought. While themes of unity appear throughout [[Islamic history]], formalized rapprochement is largely a '''modern''' development shaped by [[Islamic reform|reform movements]], [[Pan-Islamism]], and 20th-century ecumenical institutions. This article traces the historical definitions and evolution of this concept.
