ISNA  President's Letter to the American Muslim Community
 

    Bismillah Ar Rahman Ar Raheem

 

"O you who believe! Fear Allah, and say a word directed to the Right: That He many make your conduct whole and sound and forgive you your sins: He that obeys Allah and His Messenger, has already attained the highest Achievement." 33:70-71

 

Brothers and Sister of the American Muslim community,

 

I have become aware of the dialogue taking place in social media about the American Muslim community, and specifically about the Islamic Society of North America and its role in the United States. This includes ISNA's philosophy and strategy of engagement with the government and public officials. I welcome this dialogue, as do all the leaders of ISNA...
