Association of Muslim Chaplains

Serving Muslim Chaplains & Islamic Chaplaincy AMC seeks to be an organization:
1.

ections between Muslim Chaplains that offer collegial nurturing and support;
3. Serving as an institution for Muslim Chaplains seeking certification and/or professional endorsement;
4. Supporting the development of cohesion and greater collaboration between Muslim Chaplains and Muslim communities

Our core values – drawn from the Qur’an and the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) – are as follows:
1. Ikhlas (Sincerity) – Our intention is to act with sincere concern for others and fi sabil Allah (for the sake of God).
2. Nasiha (Good Counsel) – Our care for others is predicated upon our religious responsibility to provide nasiha (good counsel).
3. Rahma (Mercy) – We strive in our conduct to reflect the example of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) who was sent as rahma lil-`alamin – a mercy to all the worlds.
4. Haya’ (Dignity) – We strive in our deportment to demonstrate modesty, respect, honor, good morals and humility before Allah and those we serve.

Muslim chaplains serve Muslims where they are. Not where we think they are. Where they actually are.

✅ In hospitals during final moments
✅ In prisons during Ramadan
✅ On college campuses during identity crises
✅ In communities where people feel isolated

AMC gives chaplains the tools, training, and support to show up.

Chaplain Sondos Kholaki serves remotely as a community chaplain.

Muslims reach out to her from around the world to talk about marriage struggles, questions about faith, family conflicts, existential crises.

AMC provides the network that keeps chaplains like Sondos in the field. “Muslim chaplains in AMC are like my mirrors. You can’t grow as a chaplain in a silo.”

Your Ramadan gift strengthens the network that equips the chaplains who support everyone else.

Chaplain Salahuddin Muhammad serves as a federal prison chaplain.

When Ramadan arrives, incarcerated Muslims depend on him. Halal meals. Prayer space. Qur’ans. Time for Tarawih.

“Muslim chaplaincy is vital. It is essential.”

But chaplaincy in corrections is isolating. AMC provides the network that keeps him going: monthly cohort meetings, ethics consultation, training.

Your Ramadan gift strengthens AMC — the network that supports chaplains like Ch. Salahuddin.

Muslim chaplains serve Muslims in their most vulnerable moments—not in masajid, but in hospitals, prisons, campuses, communities and more.

Since 2011, the Association of Muslim Chaplains has been the only professional network supporting Muslim chaplains across the country. Today, AMC connects and supports 250+ chaplains across corrections, education, healthcare, military, and community settings.

This Ramadan, we’re raising $25,000 to continue this work. Your gift helps support Muslim chaplains and strengthen Islamic chaplaincy in North America.
