About Muhsen

Disability affects millions of people in the world today, with numbers that are only growing.

Today we are here for our loved ones living with disabilities, but tomorrow we may not be. There is a glaring need for the Muslim community to become better equipped for the people that are such a valuable part of our society. It was this absence of support in the Muslim community that led our founders Dr Omar Suleiman and Sr. Joohi Tahir to start MUHSEN (Read more about our founders in Who We Are).

Our Mission: Muslim communities where individuals with disabilities and their families are welcomed, supported, and included across the span of their lifetime.

Our Vision: Muhsen is a nonprofit organization serving families and individuals with intellectual, mental, and physical disabilities. Muhsen works to establish inclusive and accessible American Muslim communities for individuals with disabilities and their families. We do this through engaging in community advocacy and education (Awareness) and implementing and encouraging programs and services (Accommodation), leading ultimately to inclusive and welcoming communities (Acceptance).

MUHSEN Respite Care

We understand that when one family member lives with a disability, the entire family lives with it. We provide short-term care visits for primary caregivers to take a break from their daily responsibilities.
