Memphis Dawah Association (MDA)

The Memphis Dawah Association (MDA) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization established in 2015 that is multi-lingual and multi-ethnic. Our objective is to provide the public with authentic traditional knowledge about Islam in addition to community services for the public. We have been located in the Oakhaven and Whitehaven communities for over 15 years. We have provided ESL classes, lectures/classes about the Islamic faith, African American history, and the Renaissance, along with
releasing press releases on violent extremism. It is our objective to continue providing, building and extending those types of services.

We are in the process of relocating to a new facility with the intended purpose of offering a soup kitchen, farmer’s market, low- power radio station and a small health clinic. This is an ambitious project with the objective of participating in the transformation of the immediate neighborhood and beyond.
