Strathclyde Police hopes the group will also help tackle Islamophobia and improve understanding of Islam.
Pc Amar Shakoor, who was Scotland's first Muslim officer, said negativity had recently been directed towards the Muslim community.
He said the association hoped to put Islam in a more positive light.
"We want to highlight some of the positive things Islam can provide to the communities and not just the police services," he said.
According to Pc Shakoor, since the 9/11 World Trade Centre Attack, London tube bombings and Glasgow Airport attempted bombings, Muslims have faced suspicion and increasing scrutiny.
