About AMA (Assunnah Muslims Association)

Since 2004, the Assunnah Muslims Association has been a cornerstone of Ottawa's Muslim community, serving families through religious education, community events, and social support. Located at 1216 Hunt Club Road, our community center has hosted countless gatherings that strengthen bonds and foster growth.

Our commitment extends beyond our walls. Through initiatives like the AMA Seniors Stride, we demonstrate how Islamic values of compassion (rahma), community (ummah), and charity (sadaqah) translate into real-world action.

Creating an Inclusive Event: Built on Islamic Values, Open to All

While rooted in Islamic principles of charity and community care, AMA Seniors Stride welcomes participants of all backgrounds. We've thoughtfully designed our event to accommodate diverse needs:

For Our Muslim Community:

• Separate registration heats to honor modest preferences

• Halal food options and prayer accommodations

• Programming that aligns with Islamic charitable giving (Zakat and Sadaqah)

For Everyone:

• Inclusive categories and route suitable for men, women, and all mobility levels

• Multi-generational activities encouraging family participation

• Cultural bridge-building through shared commitment to helping children in need

Why We Champion Orphan Care

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "I and the person who looks after an orphan and provides for him, will be in Paradise like this," putting his index and middle fingers together. This profound teaching drives our initiative.

Through your participation and donations, we're not just supporting individual children – we're building a network of care that transforms entire communities. Every dollar raised provides:

• Educational opportunities for vulnerable children

• Healthcare access in crisis zones

• Safe housing and nutrition support

• Hope for a brighter future

Join us in making history.
