Subject: MSA Newsletter: LAST CALL FOR NOMINATIONS


Assalamu Alaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuhu!

It's that time of year again! We are accepting nominations for next year's board until 11:59 pm TONIGHT!!! Please continue reading for some important reminders:

  • You MUST pay your $5 dues to nominate, run, or vote in the election
  • You need TWO nominations to make it onto the ballot
  • You may nominate multiple people, but please use one form per individual
  • At no point in the election may you campaign for yourself or anyone else (anyone campaigning will be disqualified)
  • You must check your emails in the next couple of days to accept your nomination and schedule your interview with the election officials
Finally, as we embark on the election process, we'd like to remind everyone (and ourselves) to renew our intentions and think carefully about the decisions we make as we run or vote for positions on board. Remember that serving your community in this capacity is a great responsibility, and it is nothing like participating in a high school MSA. Think carefully before nominating, running, or voting in elections inshaAllah. May Allah SWT purify our intentions and grant us the outcome that is best for ourselves and our community. Ameen.

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.


Ramadan Mubarak!


Break your fast with us during this blessed month on Mondays through Thursdays with free dates and water. We're super excited to welcome Shaykh Huzaifa Nadeem each day to provide impactful Islamic reminders.

Additionally, we plan to have Ramadan iftars with full meals on select dates throughout the month. Stay tuned for more details on each iftar (fyi, the next one's tomorrow!)

Remember to register for each event and bring your COVID Health Check to display at the door. See you there, inshaAllah!


Join us for weekly Jumuah!


Please refer to the schedule for specific locations and timings. Any emergency schedule changes will be posted on our Instagram and sent out through Remind, so please be sure to join us on these platforms. Click on this flyer to register. On Friday, complete your COVID health check and arrive 15 minutes early so we can check everyone in. We hope to see you there, inshaAllah!
