About Majlis Ash-Shura

We believe in the power of a unified voice. We strive to bridge the gap between individual institutions and the public sphere, ensuring that the New York Muslim community speaks with clarity and strength to the media, government, and society at large.

Our advocacy and social justice platforms are rooted in Islamic values. We are committed to upholding the prophetic tradition of standing for the marginalized and pursuing justice as a spiritual and civic obligation.

We recognize that our strength lies in our differences. We are dedicated to reflecting the full breadth of the community, including all ethnicities, genders, and professional backgrounds, so that every Muslim in New York feels authentically represented.

While we engage with political and government leaders, our heart remains at the grassroots level. We prioritize the needs of local mosques and neighborhoods, fostering physical, social, and spiritual development in the communities we serve.

As an umbrella organization, we act as a catalyst for network building. By providing strategic guidance and consulting with our 90+ member organizations, we aim for collective impact that no single institution could reach alone.

As the official liaison for the Muslim community, we hold ourselves to high standards of transparency and integrity, ensuring our representation is honest, professional, and aligned with the interests of our members.
