About Ummah Society

Our Vision

To be the modern-day hub where the wisdom of living Islam materializes in Atlantic Canada.

Our Mission

To embody the first Islamic Institution established by Prophet Mohammed PBUH and the early Muslim Immigrants. As it was beyond a place of worship, it was a beacon of knowledge, a refuge for charity, a shelter for the homeless, a community space for gatherings and celebrations, a haven for children’s play and growth. In essence, the aim is to render the Ummah Society a hub around which the lives of Muslims in Atlantic Canada revolves.
