About MAS Arizona

We're a community of 500+ families building faith, connection, and service in the Phoenix Valley. For over 20 years, we've been a home for Muslims seeking to grow together.

Our Mission

Building Faith, Family & Community

To nurture a vibrant Muslim community that grows in faith, serves with purpose, and builds lasting connections—making the Phoenix Valley a better place for everyone.

Our Vision

A Connected, Thriving Community

A Phoenix Valley where every Muslim family has a spiritual home, every youth stays connected to their faith, and our community is known for positive contribution to society.

Our Story

MAS Arizona was established in 2001 by a small group of families who shared a vision: to create a welcoming space where Muslims in the Phoenix Valley could come together, learn, and grow.

What started as informal gatherings in living rooms has grown into a thriving community with regular programs for all ages, annual events that bring hundreds together, and a network of volunteers making a difference every day.

Today, we're proud to serve over 500 families across the Valley—from Chandler to Scottsdale, Tempe to Gilbert. Our focus remains the same: faith, family, and community.
