The Muslim-American community in Allston-Brighton.

Throughout the years, the Islamic Society has hosted a number of prominent speakers in its effort to spread knowledge and awareness of Islam. Syed Hossein Nasr, Ingrid Mattson, Cat Stevens, and Hamza Yusuf are only a few of the prominent Muslim leaders that HIS has brought to Harvard to engage with students and faculty. In a reflective exercise conducted last year, members of the Harvard Islamic Society described it as “a home away from home” and “a community to always trust and confide in.” Offering activities such as weekly dinner tables with hot halal meals, hiking trips and group ice-skating expeditions, the Society fosters an environment where members see themselves not as part of a student organization, but as part of a family. There are nightly iftars during the month of Ramadan where the community comes together to break their fasts, as well as congregational prayers held every Friday in Lowell Lecture Hall. Study circles and other classes on Islamic topics contribute to the spiritual growth of members, while events such as Islam 101 and Islam Awareness Week allow the wider Harvard community to gain a better grasp of what the religion is. One of the earliest Muslim student groups to form in the United States, the Islamic Society today continues in its mission of strengthening bonds between Muslims, and engaging the broader community at Harvard and beyond. As a Harvard student organization with open membership, HIS does not adopt official points of doctrine. HIS is home to Muslims and non-Muslims who hold various religious beliefs but who are united by their experiences of Islam.

Al-Bustan strives to partner with parents to prepare students for all types of future success by focusing on a love for and understanding of Islam. Al Bustan stresses the comprehensive nature of Islam and integrates it into all areas of academic development, social interaction, and personal growth and behavior. Through this balanced focus, we hope to guide students to have a strong relationship with their Creator, balanced and comprehensive personal development, and a healthy connection with all parts of the community. Promoting excellence in achievement and in manners will help enable children to represent Islam honorably in American society.

The Selimiye Mosque was established in April of 1995 with the contributions of local Muslim community members in the New England area. It was then that some Muslim families of Turkish origin realized that a mosque was needed in the Merrimack Valley. They pulled their humble resources together to buy a rundown church in Methuen. With their volunteer work and $200,000 in donations from the Muslim community, the grounds and the building were cleaned, interiors were renovated and the necessary facilities were added to turn the rundown church into a functioning mosque. By the Grace of Allah and the support of the Muslim community, Selimiye Mosque has been fully functional and serving the diverse Muslim community of Merrimack Valley: Five daily prayers are held and children are attending daily classes for Quran Reading, memorization and Islamic Studies. During Ramadan, there are iftars (dinners) and Taraweeh prayers are held every night. Besides the daily prayers and the Friday prayer, there are conferences and other meetings. The Mosque has become not only a religious but also a cultural and a social activity center for the Muslim community.

MAS Boston is a grassroots, community organization that works to educate, organize, and empower the Muslim community to be active, contributing citizens who play a significant role towards positive social and spiritual change. We strive to achieve this mission by: 1) teaching young Muslims social responsibility and equipping them for leadership, 2) educating and organizing the Muslim community towards civic engagement, and 3) developing interfaith and intercommunity understanding and cooperation, and creating coalitions on issues of shared concern.

The purpose of the Organization shall be:The Society has been established to further the cause of Islam. The principles and practices employed to attain the objective should not exceed the boundaries set by our Lord and Creator Allah, Glory be to Him, nor the example of His Messenger Muhammad, our prayers upon him that Allah (T) grant him peace. Every thing that we do must be consistent we the methodology of the Prophet (S) and his companions.
