AMILA  |
|
AMILA (which stands for "American Muslims Intent on Learning and Activism" and means "to work" or "to act" in Arabic) is an organization that is helping to build the American Muslim community through activism, Islamic education, spirituality, and networking with other Muslim groups. Now recognized as one of the nation's most dynamic Muslim organizations, AMILA is entering its second decade as an influential voice among Muslims and non-Muslims alike.
Our introspective and non-dogmatic approach to Islam has allowed us to tap the resources of a wide variety of Muslim intellectuals in our monthly lecture series, Akhlaq study groups, book clubs, and annual Ramadan spiritual retreats. Our constitution has allowed us to foster over five generations of elected leadership, both men and women. AMILA has bridged the differences between Muslims of different ethnic and ideological backgrounds - it includes Sunnis, Shias, Sufis, African-Americans, converts, and even non-Muslims who have taken shahada at AMILA meetings.
Having started in the San Francisco Bay Area, AMILA is in the process of replicating its model across the country. This group, inshallah, will help facilitate that. |
