Arrange a Condolence Gathering (Azza)
If you’d like to arrange an Azza at the Muslim Unity Center, please call our main office: (248) 857-9200.
What is an Azza?
An Azza provides a dedicated time and place for the public to offer condolences to the family of the deceased. It relieves the grieving family from the obligation of hosting numerous guests at home during this difficult time, while still allowing friends and community members to offer prayers, support, and kind words at a convenient and respectful setting.
