2024 IMSA-MISG CONVENTION (MUKTAMAR)

Event overview

Muktamar is a highly anticipated annual conference presented by both IMSA and MISG for over 25 years. This event provides the perfect opportunity for participants to increase their Islamic knowledge. This relaxed environment also encourages participants to serve their communities, and promotes bonds of brotherhood and sisterhood, especially among fellow IMSA and MISG members. Participants are able to build a strong community with other Indonesian and Malaysian Muslims in the USA.

When describing the best of companions and friends, the Prophet SAW said, “One whose appearance reminds you of God, and whose speech increases you in knowledge, and whose actions remind you of the hereafter.” This year’s theme is Resilience through Faith: Humanity in Action. Living in an environment with increasing adversity and hostility towards Muslims, we are expected not only to demonstrate patience and perseverance but also resilience — the ability to adapt and recover from challenges and adversity by trusting in Allah’s plan. We learn from our experiences to develop our characters and strengthen our faith as a person and community. As one ummah, their struggles are our struggles, and their success is our success. We support one another and show unity and solidarity during times of difficulty. That’s what Islam teaches us and that’s the essence of humanity.

During a 5-day conference, participants will take part in an exciting and well-rounded program that has been carefully crafted to celebrate this year’s theme. There are tracks to serve all age groups, including separate programs for youth, children, and young adults, as well as a special full day program dedicated specially for sisters. Participants will also receive three meals daily during full day programs and one meal during partial day programs.

Outside the main program, there will also be a bazaar featuring vendors from the US and Canada. The bazaar is always one of the most visited events during Muktamar. The bazaar is a great platform to learn about various Halal Industries, Islamic Finance & Lifestyle. Non-profit organizations will also have opportunities to showcase their services during the bazaar.
