Subject: MSA Newsletter: Ramadan Mubarak!



Assalamu Alaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuhu!

On behalf of the MSA board, Ramadan Mubarak to our wonderful members and your families. May Allah SWT accept our fasts, prayers, duas and good deeds. May He strengthen our imaan and purify our hearts, and may He forgive us of our sins (Say Ameen!).

We hope this newsletter finds you in the best of health, inshaAllah. Read on for information on our Ramadan iftars, our weekly Jumuah schedule, community events, and ways to keep up with us.

Don't forget- this semester, we're endeavoring to learn a du'a together every single week. Remember to check out or Instagram stories and highlights for each week's du'a. You can also reach out to us for help practicing and memorizing each remembrance. Let's do our part to help each other increase in knowledge and khair :)

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.


It's Almost Here!


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 first one's on Monday! See more info below).

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

It's our first major iftar event!


Join us on Monday as we break our fasts together with dinner and great company. This event is in partnership with Penny Appeal USA, a charitable organization that supports communities in poverty internationally. Click here to learn more about their work.

In order to support their work, we highly encourage a donation of $10 per guest. Feel free to donate before arriving via Venmo @MSAGMU or directly to their LaunchGood. Make sure to save a receipt or screenshot of your donation to show at the door. Remember to register before you come and bring your COVID Health Check with you. 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!
