About MAS

The Muslim American Society (MAS) is a charitable, religious, social, cultural, and educational, not-for-profit organization. It is a pioneering Islamic organization, an Islamic revival, and reform movement that uplifts the individual, family, and society.

MAS traces its historical roots back to the call of the Prophet Muhammad ( Peace be upon him ). Its more recent roots, however, can be traced to the Islamic revival movement which evolved at the turn of the twentieth century. This movement brought the call of Islam to Muslims throughout the globe to reestablish Islam as a total way of life. The call and the spirit of the movement reached the shores of North America with arrival of Muslim students and immigrants in the late 1950s and early 1960s.
