Shia Muslim Council

Shia Muslim Council The Shia Muslim community in the United States has witnessed a rapid increase in its size and proportion within the past few decades.

The Shia Muslim Council (SMC) of Southern California is a united and independent umbrella organization representing Shia Islamic centers, schools, and charitable institutions across the region. In the southern California region alone, there are now 22 Shia Islamic centers, mosques, and organizations. These organizations represent the wide spectrum of various Shia Muslim communities in terms of bac

kground, nationality, language, ethnicity, and outlooks. Such a rapid growth of the Shia Muslim community in southern California, coupled with the need for organization, cooperation, and representation, prompted a number of dedicated southern California Shia Muslim community leaders and members to come together and – after two years of continuous meetings and discussions – collectively form a independent non-profit umbrella organization, the Shia Muslim Council of Southern California (SMC). The primary objective of SMC is to provide members with a platform to facilitate the exchange of ideas and experiences, to enhance and support both individual and joint member religious, social, and educational initiatives, and to cooperate regarding a vast array of issues pertaining to the promotion of the Shia Muslim community specifically, as well as to the general larger Muslim community in the region and nation. These objectives will be pursued in cooperation with SMC members, as well as other relevant Muslim and non-Muslim organizations. The Shia Muslim Council of Southern California (SMC) is an independent umbrella organization comprising of various Shia Muslim centers, mosques, and organizations in southern California. Currently, SMC is composed of 17 member organizations.

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
This weekend, in the spirit of Imam Hussain (AS), our community showed up to serve.

On behalf of the Shia Muslim Council, we thank every volunteer who gave their time today at the Uplift Charity food pantry. With only 45 volunteers, together we packed 500 boxes of food — helping hundreds of families in our community. Each family also received a grocery gift card, made possible by the generosity of our donors

This is what Imam Hussain Day of Service is about: turning remembrance into action, and love for Ahlulbayt (AS) into service for our neighbors. May Allah reward every volunteer, donor, and supporter abundantly for their time and effort 🙏🏼

We’re currently about $6,500 short of fully covering today’s impact. If you’re able, please consider donating to help us close this gap and continue serving families in need.

Donate today at shiamuslimcouncil.org/imamhussaindayofservice — every contribution makes a difference 🤲

When the Prophet ﷺ himself said "I am from Hussain" — no words can describe his greatness. Hussain (AS) is not just a name. He is a bond, a legacy, a light that will never go out. 🌙✨

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
Tomorrow it begins, and this is your last chance to be part of it.
The Imam Hussain Blood Drive is this weekend Saturday, June 20 and Sunday, June 21. Imam Hussain (AS) stood at Karbala and gave everything he had so that others could live with honor. There is no truer way to carry his memory forward than to give a part of ourselves so that someone we may never meet gets to live. As the Qur’an puts it, whoever saves a single life has saved all of humanity (Surah Al-Ma’idah 5:32). One donation can reach as many as three people who are waiting right now.
If you’ve been meaning to sign up, don’t let the window close. First-time donor or seasoned regular, you’re welcome at any site. Bring your family. Pull a friend along. Let your love for Imam Hussain (AS) become something a stranger gets to keep.

Hussain? He is peace when the world chose war. Justice when the world chose silence. Humanity when the world chose cruelty. He fell on the sands of Karbala — but never in history. 🌹❤️
