Those who remember God standing, sitting, and lying down, who reflect on the creation of the heavens and earth: ‘Our Lord! You have not created all this without purpose—Glory be to You!—so protect us from the torment of the Fire.
Qur’an 3:191
What is SAMA?
SAMA stands for the Society of Amateur Muslim Astronomers. It is an astronomy club for Muslims to connect and explore the intersection of Islam and astronomy. We conduct workshops, seminars, school events, mosque events, night sky observations with telescopes, and publish articles and newsletters.
Where are you located?
We are based in Toronto, Ontario, but our mission is to serve a global audience. We are actively looking for contributors from around the world.
Why do we need this organization?
The Quran calls us to observe the night sky and the Ayaat of Allah (swt). Historically, Muslims were pioneers in astronomical discoveries and deeply connected with the night sky. SAMA seeks to revive this legacy—encouraging a connection with nature to remember Allah, contributing to the field of astronomy, and advancing the sciences.
Do you conduct field observations for the general public?
Yes! At SAMA, we love hosting observational sessions for our Muslim community. Some of our members are already organizing classes, stargazing events, and more through local groups. Stay connected with us and check our upcoming events to find out when our next observational night is scheduled.
How can we book SAMA for our school or organization?
