About Us

Objectives:

The primary objective of our organization is the care of our members in the community through dedicated services such as Islamic funeral, financial assistance, religious education, and many other services.

Purposes:

The primary purpose of Selam shall be to promote the instruction and practice of Islamic religion according to the traditions of Islam and to encourage peaceful communion in accordance with Islamic Principles.

Selam is dedicated to protect and preserve Muslims cultural and religious heritage, to strengthen the capacity of our members to achieve their goals in their lives and on behalf of their families in their traditional ways. Selam also will strive to pass these cultural and religious legacies to the next generation.

Inshallah currently, we are working to have our own multi-purpose center. It will be a center for our community activities such as prayer, fully equipped Quran studying rooms, multipurpose hall, parking space, and kids playground.
