About NISA

Established in 2002 as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, the North American Islamic Shelter for Abused (NISA) focuses on alleviating challenges related to abuse and domestic violence, particularly within the Muslim community. NISA aims to address concepts of ‘ma’roof’ and ‘munkar’ by promoting what is right and forbidding what is wrong. Our efforts extend to examining family disputes, addressing elder abuse, providing premarital and spiritual counseling, and engaging in community outreach awareness.
NISA, rooted in Islamic values, aims to foster a just community, reducing domestic violence and promoting harmony. We collaborate with the community and organizations, offering non-discriminatory services to all seeking assistance

Mission

NISA preserves dignity, aids in unsafe environments, and tackles domestic violence with a spiritual approach. We offer free help to prevent irreparable family issues and aim to raise community awareness
