4worldlovers: The Muslim Students Association (MSA) provides Yale students with the opportunity to come together in a supportive Muslim environment and seeks to educate and raise awareness about Islam in the Yale and New Haven communities. All students and community members are welcome to MSA activities and events. We recognize that students come from different backgrounds and are at varied levels in their own faith, and we welcome all.

The goal of the Yale Black Muslims (YBM) is to establish an affinity space that welcomes and celebrates the intersections between Black and Muslim identities. We hope to create a comfortable environment for Black Muslims at Yale in which we can engage in discussion about issues and topics that are pertinent to us. We also wish to further educate the Yale community by enlightening Black Muslims about their rich culture and history, while simultaneously exposing interested Yalies to the impact and prevalence of Black Muslims in society. In addition to facilitating social activities at Yale, we also plan to invite knowledgeable speakers to catalyze academic discourse and provide additional insights towards the experience of being Black and Muslim. We also hope to interact with other collegiate Muslim communities within New Haven and facilitate community service initiatives. As the group grows, we aim to broaden our impact on the Yale and New Haven community at large.

Masjid Samiya was established in September 2017 as a project of An-Noor International Foundation, Inc (ANIF). ANIF is a proven, well-respected, and charitable organization dedicated to promoting the Islamic faith.

Masjid Samiya serves the needs of the community of Muslims in the Ansonia, Shelton, Derby, Trumbull, Orange and Milford areas as a place of worship and Islamic community center.

We offer the five daily, Jumu’ah, Taraweeh and Eid prayers. We also provide Ramadan activities and serve as a center for Islamic propagation and community center.

Masajid without a doubt are the heart and soul of a Muslim community. However, Islamic centers and masajid across the U.S. that are directly run by youth are a rarity. We truly believe the way forward is to have youth, who are traditionally trained in the Islamic sciences, and are cognizant of the challenges that our generation faces, at the forefront of our masajid. This is precisely the vision we have for this project. It is what we like to describe - "The first youth led masjid in the state of Connecticut". This is of course with the guidance of our mentors like Imam Zaid Shakir and others who paved the path for many years.
