There have been many studies written about immigration to the United States. However, there appears to be an absence of empirical studies documenting how Muslim immigrant women who migrated to the United States experienced teaching Islam to their American-born Children. The purpose of this study was to gain an in-depth understanding of the experiences of mothers who grew up immersed in an Islamic environment in their country of origin and later migrated to the United States, and their journey as immigrant Muslim mothers living in the United States while teaching Islam to their American-born children. This study utilized a qualitative phenomenological approach to explore the experiences of immigrant Muslim mothers. 15 participants were interviewed using a semi-structured interview format in order to understand the participants' experiences of teaching Islam to their children. After the analyzes, three themes emerged, 1) Being true to faith, 2) sense of community, 3) Mothers' experiences of teaching their children Islam. All of the participants voiced the challenges of teaching Islam in the United States as being stressful and burdensome from the physical practicing of Islam to the influences that social interaction with non-Muslims might have on their children's Islamic beliefs. A common theme amongst all the mothers was being actively present in their children's lives and modeling the behaviors and lifestyle they desired to see in their children. These mothers assumed the role of being ambassadors for Islam in United States and chose the same path for their children in becoming admirable Muslim representatives of Islam. The participants also stressed the importance of the need for having strong family and community ties to provide a system of support that was essential because teaching Islam was seen as a collaborative effort
