About EMAS

The most incalculable challenge living in Diaspora is to craft an lslamic living environment which shall eventually propagate to create a productive and Viable Musim community with strong & adherence to the core values ot islam. Among the many teachings of islam, one that initiated the reason for the inception of EMAS is the explicit delineation of burial ceremony. In the year 1989, a brother known by the name of Ibrahim passed away and all those who reside in the Puget Sound Area heard about it and nearly' all realized that each has a duty to participate in the mourning and burial ceremony. However, there was not any well organized Muslim community to turn to for support or information as to where to look for burial grounds or where to hold the preparation for burial.
