The Ahlul Bayt American Society (ABAS) is a movement of seekers, thinkers, and builders committed to living faith with intention and impact. We nurture hearts, foster dialogue, and empower communities—guided by sacred teachings and grounded in love.
To cultivate spiritual awareness, social responsibility, and informed dialogue, rooted in divine teachings of the Ahlul Bayt and expressed through the American experience.
Raised in New York City, Shaikh Bilal Hussain is a passionate educator, servant leader, and community organizer. For over 20 years, he has empowered people through Islamic learning, mentorship, and civic engagement.
He founded ABAS to translate the teachings of the Ahlul Bayt into actionable compassion, particularly for those seeking meaning in complex times.
“Faith should liberate, not isolate. We must walk together—with purpose, with love, and with
the courage to transform.
”— Shaikh Bilal Hussain
