Assalamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuhu!


We hope this newsletter finds you in the best of health, inshaAllah. Last week's Welcome Dinner was a HUGE success! We'd like to thank each and every one of our volunteers for making this event possible. May Allah (Ï│ϿϡϺ┘å┘ç ┘êϬÏ╣Ϻ┘ä┘ë) reward you endlessly :) If you couldn't make it, we're sorry we missed you! We can't wait to meet you at future events, inshaAllah.

Read on for a recap on this event, updates on upcoming events, registration links, and information on how to keep in touch with us.


Thank you for coming to our Welcome Dinner!


We had so much fun, and we hope you did too. Click here to see the full post, and check out this video for some more highlights! A very special thank you to Imam Johari Abdul-Malik Seale for his amazing talk, and to Brother Fawwaz Siddiqui for his beautiful Qur'an recitation. And to the rest of you:  Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being the best crowd we could ask for, and for your patience and cooperation as we navigate the realities of conducting events during a pandemic. If you attended, please fill out the feedback form that was emailed to you so we know what we did right (and more importantly, how we can do better).

We are continuing to hold our in-person events, such as discussions/halaqas, socials, and Jumuah (Friday) Prayers. However, as we are still in the middle of a pandemic, we will be following all GMU Health and Safety Guidelines to ensure the safety and wellbeing of the community. All attendees must: 

  • RSVP for the event in Mason360
  • Complete and show a Green Mason COVID Health Check at the door
  • Be vaccinated and wear a mask (if you have an approved exemption, please bring official documentation from Student Health Services to the event)
Let's all do our part to keep each other safe and healthy, inshaAllah.


Come to our MSA Career Workshop!


Join us in the HUB Ballroom (Middle and Back) on Thursday, September 23rd from 6:30 to 8:30 pm. We will be hosting many Muslim professionals from backgrounds in varying industries. Bring your resume and take advantage of this key networking experience!

Join us for Jumuah Prayer every Friday this semester!


IMPORTANT: We are currently experiencing some issues with the registration link for tomorrow's Jumuah. Please stay up to date on our social media platforms (namely Instagram, WhatsApp, and Remind) for updates on when the link will become available. Additionally, due to the rain, we may be moving Jumuah prayer to the musallah space on JC3. If the registration link continues to be unavailable, we will register you all when you show up for prayer. Please be ready with your COVID Health Check when you arrive. We'll keep you updated, inshaAllah.
