The Islamic Society of Augusta has been serving the Muslim community and the CSRA since 1976.

The Islamic Society of Augusta (ISA) is commemorating its 50th Anniversary throughout the year 2026.

For centuries, Muslims have been an integral part of the CSRA (Central Savannah River Area), significantly contributing to its cultural fabric and community spirit. Their enduring presence and meaningful contributions have shaped the region. Building upon this rich history, a dedicated group of Muslims took action in the spring of 1976, establishing the Islamic Society of Augusta. Today, this organization proudly serves and supports hundreds of individuals, continuing the legacy of inclusivity and service within the Muslim community and to the CSRA.

ISA honors our esteemed founders, our dedicated long-term contributors, and the Muslim individuals who have made substantial and noteworthy contributions to the broader CSRA community, and to the public at large, throughout the years. Contributions benefiting the general public have encompassed a wide array of fields, including, but not limited to, major scientific research, medical professionals, business ventures, education at all levels from public elementary schools through senior university professors, community service projects, first responders, military service, political engagement, and other impactful areas.
