Our Story

A community of peace & love

MAS-UNY is a sub-chapter with a long history of symbolizing and advocating righteousness and spiritual activism. Some youth activities include: participating in the Annual Bronx Borough President Iftar, social justice demonstrations, hosting blood drives, da’wah tables, the “Back to School Giveaway”, and many youth gatherings. Many services & programs offered to the community in English & Arabic language.

To move people to strive for Allah consciousness, liberty, and justice, and to convey Islam with utmost clarity.

Bronx Muslim Center (BMC) is a large community of Muslims that manages to maintain a tight-knit atmosphere.
 

We currently have a small overcrowded Mosque which has a capacity of less than 175 congregates.

Our new Masjid project requires a donation of $350K by December to complete 1 Million for excavation & foundation.

“Whoever builds a mosque for the sake of Allah no matter how small, even if it is as the size of a bird’s nest, Allah will build for that person a House in paradise.”
