Our Mission: Dawa & Islah

Islam is our way of life and life mission.  A cornerstone in MAS thought is correlation between the personal relationship to God  and the individual’s commitment to social activism on earth.  The connection is clear in the following two verses:

{Be mindful of God, as is His due.} The Quran, 3:102 (Personal relationship with Allah)

 {Strive hard for Allah, as is His due.} The Quran 22:78 (The obligation of activism)

So, as we strive to live Islam in its totality, we also work to spread the message of Islam and positively influence our community and country. 

We believe that dawah, spreading the message of Islam, and islah, social activism, are an essential part of the Muslim’s identity and the key responsibility of the community of believers.  Islam is a universal message and comprehensive system that brings goodness and success to all people.  Promoting Islam and advocating its values is the only way to fulfill our purpose and mission: to worship God, guide humanity to what is good, and be witnesses and examples for mankind. 

Many Quranic verses emphasize this mission assigned to the community of believers.  Among them are:

{Let there arise out of you a band of people inviting to all that is good, enjoining what is right, and forbidding what is wrong: They are the ones to attain felicity.}The Quran, 3:104

{O you who believe! Stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah.} The Quran, 4:135
