Journey to Arafat

NWMI shared in the Hajj journey by creating a mini-Hajj outdoor program to connect us to our community and nourish our spirit during the Hajj season.  

 

Camp NWMI

Our annual Camp NWMI program invites Muslims ages three to fourteen (3-14) to spend two weeks participating in age-appropriate activities that help nurture Islamic identity.

 

Hunger Van

Faith in Action: Race, Religion, and Politics

NWMI’s three-part social justice series drew lessons from Imam Hussain’s (as) legacy of standing against brutality, intolerance, and hypocrisy, by examining the intersection of Islam, race, and Black Lives Matter.
