Organization Name: Muslim Community of the Western Suburbs
Organization Overview: The MCWS was founded in 1977 as a group of young Muslims living in this area realized that as their toddlers grew older, they had to seriously think about their identity and place as American Muslims in the giant melting pot of the U.S.A. These parents were concerned as they saw the troubling situation of many Muslim families in the area who had lost their Islamic values and identities through lack of knowledge and practice of their deen. This was a future that these Muslim parents wished to avoid.
They took the challenge very seriously and resolved to create a stronger foundation for their children to maintain their Islamic identity and values. Along with this challenge was that of the parents’ own lack of knowledge of Islam. They realized that without a well-rooted understanding and practice of Islam themselves; they would be ill-equipped to impart the much-needed strong Islamic values to their own children. These parents, when growing up, were bound to the values and practices prevalent among their own societies, and were still part of a cultural milieu present at the time in their own countries. They felt the need to gain Islamic education in order to convey accurate Islamic values and ideals. These challenges had to be met, and thus, the young parents began the journey to where we are today.
