Welcome to MAS@UIC Group


  We are youth division of Muslim American Society, an organization on the UIC campus.  Muslim American Society (MAS) traces its historical roots back to the call of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Its more recent roots, however, can be traced to the Islamic revival movement which evolved at the turn of the twentieth century.

Our mission here at UIC is to move young people to strive for God-consciousness and social justice and convey Islam with utmost clarity.  There are many ways in which we try to achieve our goal and mission. Some of MAS Youth's signature projects include MY (MAS Youth) Give and MY Bridge. MYG's motto is "Serve the Creator by serving His creation". To demonstrate the relationship between faith and activism, MY Give mobilizes young people and instills the Islamic spirit of social responsibility. The MY Give project organizes regular community service activities for volunteers, from building low-income housing to planting trees. MY Bridge is a way to try to connect with our community and "bridging" a path between us. One of these MY Bridge projects is the Muhammad Awareness Campaign.

 MAS Youth launched the Muhammad (pbuh), The Orphan who Adopted the World  campaign to encourage young Muslims to educate their peers about Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). The campaign is an educational and hands-on initiative, equipping youth with an array of resources and materials to teach others about their Prophet. MAS Youth chapters are actively promoting the campaign on college campuses across the country and we are proud to say that MAS at UIC will present their own Muhammad Awareness Campaign .  Included in our week long campaign will be lectures discussing the different aspects of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).  We will also include some cultural aspects including henna.
