Muhsen Arizona Launch
ASA
As we approach the end of January we pray you have had a blessed start to 2023! We wanted to share some exciting news with the AZ community! Alhumdulillah, with the help of Allah SWT and some local community members we have embarked on a journey to launch an official chapter of, Muslims Understanding & Helping Special Education Needs aka MUHSEN here in Arizona. This is a non profit orginization that was founded by Imam Omar Suleman to help initiate services across North America to improve the experience within mosques, and engender positive communities for those with disabilities and special needs.
MUHSEN is an organization that is not specific to any one age group or any one disability. They work with adults, children, and families who live with all intellectual, mental, and physical disabilities.
MUHSENs goal is to prioritize advocacy and education about disabilities, and has established programs like Muhsen Masjid Certification and many others whose goal is to make the community as a whole better for those living with disabilities and special needs.
As we strive to lead in creating a better understanding of Disabilities here in Arizona and build a better future for these “Special” People of Jannah, In shaa Allah where they are welcomed and all their needs are addressed as they are accepted by all we ask that you join us on this journey. If you would like to be involved as a volunteer, beneficiary of services/programs or assist in any other capacity please feel free to reach out to Br. Usman Khan (734-642-8134) or Sr. Hiba Amireh via email at hilana83@gmail.com
