About Us

Taking into account the demands of Mexican Muslims, the American Muslim Association, which has been meeting the religious needs of Muslims in North America since 1980 without compromising the line of Ahl as-Sunnah wal jamaat, started its activities in Mexico City on February 19, 2019. In April 2019, it served 32 male students from different nationalities from different states of Mexico with the Suleymaniye Madrasa. By developing itself considering the cultural and religious needs of people it aimed to bring the light of Islam to every individual in the Mexican lands.

It is a community that aims to show the applicability of Islam to life and to live it rather than being a dry knowledge, without compromising the line of Ahli Sunnah Wal Jamaah, without discriminating between language, race, rich and poor, by paying attention to Halal, by paying attention to the privacy of men and women. By educating the young people who are entrusted to them in every material and spiritual field, they prepare the exemplary Muslims and imams of the future. A community that lives as our Prophet (pbuh) and his companions taught us, is far from innovations, and has adopted the morality of Muhammad (sas) as its motto.

Umam also carries out activities that will allow Muslims living in Mexico to perform their worship such as, Zakah-Fitrah-Charity, Sacrifice/Udhiyyah, Funeral/Janazah, Wedding, etc.. (Look at Our Mission and Our Services for detailed information.)
Umam has a desire for every person to maintain their Allah given purity, honesty, to have high morality, to gain superior qualities, to evolve in their knowledge, to transmit it to humanity and all of our brothers and sisters in any part of the world.
UMAM delivers the donations it collects from people with high awareness, to every needy person regardless of culture, race or ethnicity , by giving priority to education.
UMAM also keenly controls and monitors its operations on behalf of its donors by expecting all the sensitivities it has from all organizations and partnerships.

Muhammad (PBUH) 

O servants of Allah!, be brothers. You are all the children of Adam, and Adam is created from earth.

Our Vision, Mission and Values

OUR VISION

Our Principles

No activity can be carried out with an attitude, approach and language that will not comply with human dignity and honor.

In the activities of the association, there is an undeniable responsibility for transparency towards our community and especially our donors.
