A fellowship of men and women, joined together on the
“Path of Peace“
Millati Islami was born out of our need to be religiously specific with regard to recovery and spiritual principles.
Why?
“Whoever recommends and helps a good cause becomes a partner therein; and whoever recommends and helps an evil cause shares in its burden; and Allah has power over all things.”
– (Quran 4:85)
Recovery with an Islamic Approach
We have sought to integrate the treatment requirements of both Al-Islam and the Twelve Step approach to recovery into a simultaneous program. Our personal thanks and appreciation goes to the Narcotics Anonymous and Alcoholics Anonymous programs from which we borrowed. Just as Narcotics Anonymous was founded out of its need to be non-specific with regard to substance, so Millati Islami was born out of our need to be religiously specific with regard to spiritual principles.
Continuous Growth
Millati Islami, by God’s will, (masha-Allah) offers a fresh perspective on age old ideas for treating our fallen human conditions. We pray further that it will serve as a model for successfully understanding and addressing the special problems encountered as recovering Muslims and substance abusers in a predominately non-Muslim society.
Submission
We look to Allah (God) to guide us on Millati Islami (the Path of Peace). While recovering, we strive to become rightly guided Muslims, submitting our wills and services to Allah.
Service
Islam tells us clearly that the status of man in this world is that of an “Abd” (servant or ‘slave’). We know that we must learn to be slaves and servants only to Allah and not slaves to mind and mood altering chemicals. We must also learn not to be slaves to people, places, things, and emotions.
Custodianship
Allah tells us that man is “Khalifa” (agent or inheritor of the earth). This means that Allah has entrusted us as human beings with custodianship of His creation.
Begin with ourselves
Our own bodies, minds and souls truly belong to Allah. They are only entrusted to us for a time. We are charged with their care while we have them in our possession.
