The most comprehensive public directory of Muslim institutions in the US.
Every masjid, Muslim nonprofit, and Muslim-owned or Muslim-serving business we can verify — scored on a public rubric for transparency, efficiency, and contribution to the community. The goal: help Muslim institutions become model organizations that operate at the highest standards, give back to society, and share the best tooling, vendors, and practices with each other.

What we measure depends on who’s being measured.
Nonprofits leave a public paper trail; businesses don’t. So the rubric splits in two — same discipline, different evidence.
501(c)(3)s & masjids
Form 990 filings, audited financials, scholar-board disclosure, vendor stack — the things a donor would ask if they had time to investigate. Most masjids don’t file 990s, so they complete our audit and attestations instead.

Muslim-owned & -serving businesses
Businesses don’t file a Form 990 — so we evaluate what they actually do. Starting with the Islamic mandates in their operations (no interest, halal income, zakat on assets), then community give-back, ethical sourcing, and halal claims that hold up at the issuer.

A directory never changed anyone’s behavior. Aligned incentives do.
So we pair the directory with the two levers that actually move institutions — visible reward for backing the community, and accountability against a shared public bar — to shift Muslim institutions from merely coexisting to actively supporting each other.
Backing the community becomes legible — and rewarded.
The directory and the audit make it visible who actually shows up: which businesses source from Muslim vendors, which nonprofits run clean, which masjids meet the bar. That visibility surfaces them to donors, customers, and procurement across the network.
A published standard means there’s a bar to fall short of.
Audited orgs get pinned brighter on the public map; the ones that skip the audit, or fail it, are visible too. Donors and customers can finally tell the difference — and that pressure pulls the whole community up.
The leverage is coverage — the most comprehensive public directory of Muslim institutions in the US. Aligned incentives only move the needle at scale, and we’re already at scale. If even the $1.08B of annual Muslim nonprofit revenue shifted a few points of its procurement inward, that compounds into real money staying in the community.

NoorMap — the public-facing map of Muslim spaces.
The other half of the directory: a public map any Muslim can open to find the nearest masjid, halal grocery, Islamic school, or community resource — 6,000+ verified pins, built on the same 50,000+-entity Ihsan ledger that powers this site. Audited masjids and businesses get featured listing, brighter pinning, and the audit badge surfaced automatically.

Most masjids don't file Form 990. That's why donor trust is harder to verify there than anywhere else.
The Ihsan Standard audit was designed with this in mind. When a masjid completes the audit and the attestation pack, you can give knowing it stacks up on financial transparency, fair vendor choices, donor-data protection, services offered, and community engagement — the things you'd ask if you had the time to investigate yourself.
The most comprehensive directory of US Muslim businesses — and the basis of our audits.
The business directory is the starting point. From there, the Ihsan Standard audit goes further: validated halal compliance where it’s claimed, adherence to paying zakat on inventory and corporate assets (which most Muslim businesses still fall short on), fair and ethical business dealings that exceed the public-record standard, a unified Muslim supply chain so vendors and buyers can find each other, and a verifiable commitment to give back to the community.
