“The best of people are those that bring most benefit to the rest of mankind” – Prophet Muhammad ﷺ
NPO 210-044
The Muslim Association of South Africa (MASA) is an independent Muslim humanitarian non-profit organisation with its firm focus on religious values, educational elevation, social welfare and a charitable culture.
MASA aims to provide services and develop special programs that are designed to assist in the holistic educational and spiritual development of Muslims. A crucial ideology of MASA is the concept of community involvement and service. This ideology spans beyond just the Muslim community, and extends to all group of people, irrespective of faith or background. We actively seek to construct connections between individuals of different cultures and religions with the ultimate goal of achieving societal unification. We seek to cultivate a spirit of brotherhood based on meaningful understanding and support.
We remain motivated and driven by an acute consciousness and awareness of God. MASA strives to practice and spread the word of Islam in accordance with two fundamental sources that remain untouched by time: the Holy Qur’aan and the way of life of the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) (May peace and salutations be upon Him).
At MASA, we understand that the only means of changing the world is to start by making changes within ourselves. As South Africans, we consistently challenge ourselves and others to contribute to our society and to the institutions, which help, build up that society. The change begins by the extension of a single helping hand.
Extending assistance to the vulnerable members of our society will allow us to achieve our objective of empowering communities and establishing long-term projects such as educational facilities, livelihood programmes and community based aid.
VISION
The achievement of large-scale societal change through community alliances.
Sharing of resources to create a utilitarian society in which all members of community can benefit.
MISSION
To inspire the creation of extending one helping hand at a time, regardless of the magnitude of the need.
Making meaningful contributions towards social change.
EMERGENCY RELIEF
With a growing need for support and aid in local communities as well as nationally, MASA acknowledges the necessity to provide relief and assistance on an exponential scale to areas that have been afflicted by disaster. Our relief assistance spans from providing essentials to victims of fires to individuals who have been struck by natural disasters.
SOCIAL WELFARE
As a deeply humanitarian aid organisation, we endeavour to optimally allocate resources and amenities. These endeavours include feeding schemes, winter warmth drives and educational upliftment. We challenge our communities to get involved and assist in any slight way that they are able.
BURIAL SOCIETY
“For every soul shall taste of death” – Qur’aan 3:158.
MASA provides a comprehensive service at times of grief. From supplying the bereaved family with essentials for the home to assisting in burial preparation, our organisation seeks to create a network of support for the family at the time that they are most vulnerable. Many families are destitute and MASA aims to assist them freely – through the generosity of the communities it serves.
By providing funeral essentials and monetary contributions we are able to foster a true sense of community spirit and our society is united one step at a time.
Our burial task team only consists of volunteers. This team remains on standby 24/7 to come to the aid of the communities that they serve.
