Mission of the Majlis As-Shura of Essex & Union County • MajlisAs-shuraof Essex & Union County was formulated to bring about Islamic unity and promote economic stability through cooperative effort. • And hold fast, all together, by the rope of Allah,And be not divided among yourselves;And remember with gratitude Allah’s favor on you;For ye were enemies and he joined your hearts in love, so that by his grace,Ye became brethren; and ye were on the brink of the pit of the fire,And he saved you from it.Thus doth Allah make his signs clear to you: That ye may be guided. Sura 3 Ayaat 103 • Our primary mission is to foster unity cooperating on Birr waTaqwah (goodness and piety) while assisting cooperating organizations in the economic development of their respective facility, i.e. physical structure, educational, dawah & community building programs, along with a consensus effort to promote the guidance of the Qu’ran and Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad born in Arabia over 1400 years ago (SAWS).
