Welcome to

Muslim Chaplain Service of Virginia

Since 2003, MCSVA has been dedicated to meeting the religious needs of Muslim inmates throughout Virginia's prison system. As a faith-based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, we provide Islamic religious services, educational materials, and spiritual guidance to ensure that incarcerated Muslims can practice their faith with dignity. Our dedicated chaplains and volunteers visit correctional facilities across Virginia, offering Jumu'ah prayers, Islamic studies classes, and one-on-one counseling. We distribute Qur'ans, prayer rugs, and other essential religious items to support inmates in their spiritual journey. Through your generous support, we can continue this vital work and expand our reach to more facilities across the Commonwealth.

The MCSVA is a faith-based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose mission is to serve Muslim inmates, both men and women, by sharing our time, resources, and knowledge with the incarcerated community in the Virginia prison system. Your contributions are tax-deductible.

Our Services

Prison Outreach Program

Prison Outreach Program is designed to educate staff & inmates about Islam. Since 2006, we have trained over 4700 correctional staff on Islam in 30 prisons. The staff learned the faith needs of Muslim inmates under their care and control. As a result, there was a better communication between Staff and Muslim inmates. The Department of Corrections witnessed reduced number of Grievances and lawsuits.
