History
Officially founded in 2016, the Arizona Muslim Alliance (AMA) was established when members of five major Arizona Islamic institutions saw the need for more unity as the Muslim population grew. Now, 8 years later, AMA acts as a Shura council or a federation of mosques and Muslim nonprofits across the state. It engages in activities that unify the community, bring strategic resources together, advocate for the rights and well-being of the community, and serve as the central hub for information on Muslim life in Arizona.
