MILA

MILA is a community of Muslims We are dedicated to collective action in the way of building, serving, and strengthening our communities through education and activism.
The MILA community may be best understood through the terms of our names:-
MUSLIM signifies our identity and members' commitment to Islam. Islam is that code of morals and behavior that shapes our individual consciousness and collective efforts.
INTENT recognizes the orientation of this group in its commitment. Every member understands the necessary input required to achieve the goals of the organization.
LEARNING is the mechanism through which our efforts and goals will be enacted. We understand that the first revelation that the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, received was the command IQRA, or read. Therefore, we place an emphasis on the role of attaining knowledge as a backbone to this organization.
ACTIVISM is the process through which our efforts will come into being. It signifies the need for the Muslim community to enact its potential through an array of physical efforts. The brevity of this statement should not be taken as a de-emphasis of activism but rather as an indication that the need for it must be self-evident to a member of this group.
