The Japan Muslim Association (日本ムスリム協会, nihon musurimu kyōkai) (JMA) is the first Muslim congregation in Japan. Founded in 1952 by 47 members, it was chartered as a religious corporation in June 1968. It aims to create a path for the Muslim minority to practice the doctrines of Islam while in harmony with Japanese society. Since its inception, the Association has dispatched its members to Islamic countries as exchange students, and the number has reached 60. The Japan Muslim Association was initially founded in 1952 when 47 Japanese Muslims and scholars who were engaged during World War II in intelligence gathering work in Asian countries formed the "Society of Islamic Friends." In 1953, it was renamed to the current "Japanese Muslim Association." Since 1957, the Association has sent Muslims to Islamic universities such as the Al-Azhar University in Egypt, and in 1959, it launched the official bulletin, the Voice of Islam. In 1968, the Association was registered as a religious corporation. The number of members during this period was about 60, according to the Voice of Islam. In 1961, the Muslim Students Association was founded with Muslim international students as its core members, and in 1963, the Association for Islamic Studies in Japan was established as an academic society.
