Chaplaincy is a critical area of American society where the religious needs of Muslims must be addressed. As chaplains, Muslims contribute to public discourse on ethical and spiritual issues. The Islamic Chaplaincy web site is a resource for Muslim chaplains, for chaplains of all faiths who address the needs of Muslims in their institutions; and for everyone interested in learning about Hartford Seminary's Islamic Chaplaincy Program.

Professor Timur Yuskaev, Director of the Islamic Chaplaincy Program, is featured along with several Chaplaincy students, in an article titled "Muslim Chaplains Guide the Way" in Islamic Horizons magazine.
