Welcome to Muslim Space!
AN OPEN AND INCLUSIVE COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION
Where You Belong!
Muslim Space is…
Muslim Space is a community organization serving the greater Austin area. We strive to provide an open and welcoming environment to all self-identifying Muslims, as well as those connected to or interested in Islam, who wish to gather, unite and support one another.
Our Values
Our values are rooted in both our American and Islamic identities and are woven into the events we put forth: equality, respect, generosity, love, autonomy, compassion for each and everyone.
Muslim Space is non-denominational and non-sectarian yet inviting to all and believe that diversity makes us a stronger community.
If you like what we are providing and want to see us grow please consider helping to support us today!

Current Programs
Muslim Space provides three tracks of programing and services: faith-based, service-based, and social-based. We aim to create a sense of fluidity and belongingness for each member, that their personal interests and involvements are reflected in the activities of Muslim Space. Here are some of our current recurring programs that you are welcome to join:
Weekly (Virtual) Friday Sermons
We will broadcast the khutbah live on Zoom. Tune in for a virtual Friday khutbah designed to keep you connected to our Creator and our community. Khutbahs are intended to be timely, relevant, and mindful of our current situation. Can't join us live? Watch it later on YouTube.
Chaplaincy Services
This is an opportunity for you to check-in with the chaplain on any matter, the focus being on your faith path, life’s challenges, spirituality, current events, etc. Chaplaincy is open to all members of the community, not just those who may be in a rough patch.
Qur’an Reflections - Courting Controversy
A reflective and interactive discussion on one's personal understanding of selected Quranic verses, themes, or stories.
Quran Reflection is open to all adults.
Monthly Book Club
Join us for a monthly book club where we read and discuss from a diverse selection of books aimed at expanding our understanding of Islam, humanity and the world around us. The books selected address faith, spirituality, current events, emotional enhancement, fiction and more
Reading the book to be discussed is not a requirement to join the meeting.
Monthly Qur’an Halaqas
A monthly halaqa focused on individual surahs (chapters) in the Qur’an. Each month we will meet to discuss our understanding of one chapter. We encourage each participant to listen/watch the recommended tafsir (Qur’anic commentary), read suggested or independently found writings and exegeses.
One Ayah a Day
A collective learning opportunity to gradually master memorization and tajweed of the Holy Qur’an in Arabic.
Friday Prayers & Muslim Space
Following the COVID-19 pandemic, we moved the Friday Khutbahs/Sermons to be held online. In partnership with the Austin Da'wah Center, weekly Friday services will be offered on the campus of Austin Seminary.
