The syllabus will specifically target emergent issues about marriage and issues that are more common in Western societies.

Dear brothers and sisters,

We will inshallah perform (iqama) congregational prayer (salah al jama'ah) for Zuhr and Asr, Monday-Friday, at 2:30PM, at Room 3000 EECS (3rd floor, near the GG Brown Building).

Please join us to pray together which is considered to have more social and spiritual benefit than praying by oneself.

Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) says: One prayer of a person in congregation is worthier than his forty years of performing prayer at home (individually).

A couple peers are starting an organization that focuses on minority women empowerment and will host a Muslim woman’s conference.
Are you interested in leading an organization that highlights the voices of traditionally under-represented women in the feminist movement? How about hosting a conference that seeks to empower and educate on the subject of Muslim women?

MPower is a women’s empowerment organization that looks at the mainstream feminist movement through the lens of intersectional and transnational feminism. We are currently looking for passionate and committed individuals to join the leadership board for the organization as well as the steering committee for our first event: Jannah at Her Feet (a Muslim woman education and empowerment conference). Time commitment will be about 5-6 hours a week.
