Confusion

To clear up any confusion,

This quarter, general body meetings are held every other Wednesday in Humanities 2, Room 250 at 8pm. The next meeting is this Wednesday (11/2).

This quarter, Jummah (Friday prayer) is held in the Stevenson Fireside Lounge at 12:45pm.

We hope to see you there.

THE MSA IS BACK Part II!

Summer is over, and the Muslim Students’ Association has reconvened for the 2011-2012 academic year!

We had a huge (and I mean, huge) turnout during OPERS Fall Festival, and hope your interest continues right through the year.

To get the ball rolling, we cordially invite you to attend our annual MSA KICK-OFF DINNER!

Come down to the Kresge Seminar Room (Rm. 159) this Thursday (9/29) at 8:30pm for free food, games, and much, much more.

There’s no dress code. Wear whatever you feel comfortable in.

The kick-off dinner is a fun event and a great opportunity for you to:

  • Discover what the MSA is all about!
  • Learn what we have planned for the quarter!
  • Find out how YOU can get involved!
  • Catch up with your cool old friends, or make cooler new ones!
  • Eat food not from the dining hall!

If you have any questions please e-mail us at ucsc.msa@gmail.com! We honestly look forward to hearing from you.

(As always, people of all faiths are welcome.)

Best,
The UCSC MSA

Ramadan Mubarak (Blessed Ramadan)!

As you probably know, on August 1 Ramadan begins! Ramadan marks the ninth month of the year (on the Islamic Calendar), during which Muslims all over the world fast between sunrise and sunset.

The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) has an informative (and quick) piece on Ramadan you should take a look at if you would like to learn a bit more about this holy month. Check it out.

Those of you observing Ramadan in Santa Cruz, please check out the “Praying on Campus” page for an up-to-date Ramadan prayer schedule.

If you have any questions or concerns please e-mail us at ucsc.msa@gmail.com.

Salaam everyone.

That’s a wrap.

As-Salamu Alaykum,

The 2010-2011 school year has come to a end.

We hope you have a great–and safe–summer vacation, and look forward to seeing you again in the fall.

Until then, please join our Facebook group, “UCSC MSA”.

Best,
The UCSC Muslim Students’ Association
