About MUHSEN’s Service-Certification Program
Why it’s Important for Organizations to be Certified
Muhsen is a nonprofit umbrella organization serving children and adults with any intellectual, mental, or physical disability. Muhsen’s aim is to establish an inclusive and accessible environment for individuals with disabilities and their families. Muhsen will assume an active role to advocate and educate, conduct training, and implement programs and services across North America to improve the experience within mosques, conventions, related classes and events, as well as to engender a positive and welcoming community for persons with disabilities.
This Service Certification equips organizations, businesses, non-profit entities and educational institutions with a better understanding for what it takes to be accessible and accommodating. This is not a replacement to the standards outlined by the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act), but is meant to supplement it and bring about a welcome change and facilitate participation for all.

Disclaimer
MUHSEN offers certification programs to mosques and organizations that meet our established standards. This statement clarifies the nature of MUHSEN’s certification.
MUHSEN certification indicates that the certified mosque or organization has met our criteria at the time of assessment. MUHSEN relies on certified mosques and organizations to uphold the values and principles outlined in our certification program. It is not an ongoing endorsement of their practices.
Organizations that do not maintain adherence to MUHSEN’s standards may attain an inactive status with our organization. MUHSEN is not responsible for the daily operations or actions of any certified mosque or organization.
MUHSEN certification does not guarantee the quality of services or products offered by the certified entity. We encourage you to conduct your own research.
It’s important to note that MUHSEN’s partnerships with other organizations do not imply endorsement or control over their policies, practices, or activities. MUHSEN strives for alignment in promoting inclusivity and accessibility, and is not responsible for the actions, decisions, or outcomes of our partner organizations.
If you have any questions about MUHSEN’s certification process or a particular certified mosque or organization, please do not hesitate to contact MUHSEN directly at info@muhsen.org.
