Muslim Association of Ireland

The Mus­lim Asso­ci­a­tion of Ire­land (MAI) is an Islam­ic orga­ni­za­tion oper­at­ing in Ire­land that has been con­sis­tent­ly iden­ti­fied as part of the Euro­pean net­work of the Mus­lim Broth­er­hood. Estab­lished in the ear­ly 2000s, the MAI is linked to the Brus­sels-based Fed­er­a­tion of Islam­ic Orga­ni­za­tions in Europe (FIOE)—now known as the Coun­cil of Euro­pean Mus­lims (CEM)—which serves as the Brotherhood’s prin­ci­pal coor­di­nat­ing frame­work on the con­ti­nent. The asso­ci­a­tion shares lead­er­ship con­nec­tions, ide­o­log­i­cal ori­en­ta­tion, and insti­tu­tion­al coop­er­a­tion with FIOE/CEM and relat­ed enti­ties such as the Euro­pean Coun­cil for Fat­wa and Research (ECFR), sit­u­at­ing it firm­ly with­in the Brotherhood’s Euro­pean struc­ture. Through com­mu­ni­ty activ­i­ties, edu­ca­tion­al pro­grams, and reli­gious out­reach, the MAI func­tions as the Brotherhood’s main rep­re­sen­ta­tive body in Ireland.
