1.

The Association of Muslim Chaplains (AMC) supports and promotes the professional development of Muslims who provide spiritual care and counsel as chaplains and/or religious counselors in Muslim communities and in public and private institutions in the United States.

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.

For the first time ever, the Association of Muslim Chaplains will have a booth at the ISNA convention floor — and we can't wait to see you there! Come visit us at Booth 607 and let's talk about what it really means to build a professional home for Muslim chaplains — the people showing up in hospitals, prisons, campuses, the military, and communities across the country in some of life's hardest moments.

“...We are not competitors, we are companions in this journey of serving Allah ﷻ, the Messenger ﷺ, the ummah, and humanity at large.

“This profession of Islamic chaplaincy is not like other professions where people compete for the highest positions, the best paying jobs, the most honorific titles, and the most prestigious awards. Rather, we must aspire to be awliyâ’ (protecting friends) to one another...

“…We protect each other, we counsel each other, and we are sincere in the nasîhah (good advice) that we offer each other. Your success is deeply tied to my success, and my success is deeply tied to your success, and our collective success is deeply tied to the success of the ummah of the Prophet ﷺ. Therefore, our spirit of togetherness must be of deep sisterhood and brotherhood and of truly loving for each other what we love for ourselves.”

- Ch. Sohaib N. Sultan (Allah yerhamo), from his epilogue written for “Mantle of Mercy: Islamic Chaplaincy in North America,” (Templeton Press, 2022), titled “We Are Not Competitors, We Are Companions.”

At the beginning of each AMC Retreat, named after Ch. Sohaib, we read these timeless words from his reflection, written at the end of his life as he prepared to be reunited with his Creator and Beloved, reminding ourselves not only why we do the work we do as Muslim chaplains, but how we must do it - together.

Read Ch. Sohaib’s full reflection as well as the whole of “Mantle of Mercy” by getting your copy today at Templeton Press or at this link https://www.rutgersuniversitypress.org/templeton-press/mantle-of-mercy/9781599475936!

As we get ready to kick off AMC’s 4th Annual Sohaib Sultan Suhba Chaplains’ Retreat in Colorado, our executive board has been hard at work this week for two robust days of a little Board Retreat of their own!

Apart from focusing on program planning, fundraising, member engagement, and strategic development, the team also had a chance to enjoy a bit of the outdoors in beautiful Colorado!

Here’s to both a blessed Chaplains’ Retreat this week and an exciting year ahead for AMC!
