Jazaakom Allah Kheir,
MAH Execeutive Committee
The Muslim Association of Hawaii provides a safe, comfortable environment for its members and visitors to come together in the remembrance of Allah (SWT) through prayer, worship, and education. MAH is dedicated to promoting tolerance, mutual understanding, social justice, and civic responsibility to help nurture and establish Islam as a living reality in the lives of Muslims in Hawaii, making positive contributions to our State and the world around us.
“Whoever goes to the Masjid in the morning and evening, Allah will prepare for him a place in Jannah for every morning and evening.”
Prayer, or Salat, is a critical component of our religion as it serves as a regular reminder of our duties and purpose. The Masjid is open every day for the five daily prayers.
Marriage (Nikkah), is a Prophetic tradition that has certain requirements. The Muslim Association of Hawaii offers marriage counseling and is licensed to perform marriage ceremonies.
We offer assistance in making funeral arrangements and will guide you through the entire Islamic funeral process.
We operate various youth programs to help children in our community develop leadership and communication skills, and become champions of truth.
We run programs and workshops to help our community nurture Islamic knowledge and learn more about our beautiful religion and its principles.
The Muslim Association of Hawaii hosts programs catered exclusively to women, such as the weekly Halaqa that takes place on Saturdays.
