Serving the Muslim community since 1958 through Masaajid development, Islamic education, community welfare, religious guidance, and unity across Zambia.
The Lusaka Muslim Society was founded in 1958 to promote, encourage, protect, and advance the religious, educational, and cultural interests of Muslims in Lusaka and Zambia at large.
The organisation continues to foster unity amongst Muslim communities while establishing and managing Masaajid and Makaatib throughout Lusaka.
