The mission of all of the Prophets, including Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), was to elevate human existence and establish unparalleled just societies through submission to the creator.

For this reason ICNA NY has created a Social Justice and Civic Engagement department. This department works in social justice/human rights sphere and cooperates with existing social justice efforts to organize new initiatives when appropriate to eliminate barriers to full citizenship rights and privileges, restore civil liberties required for a democratic society, raise public awareness and work to remove the gross inequities that exist in our communities.

The department also encourages local community members to get more involved in local government and community boards.

ICNA Council for Social Justice (CSJ) is a social justice/human rights organization that strives to systematically facilitate assertive Muslim involvement in the field of human struggle for the rights of the poor and oppressed in the United States.
