(Peace be with you)
Wednesday, April 11th, the Muslim Students Association will be attending the Open House at the Observatory with the Star Gazers. We will meet in Baldwin Hall 249 at the regular meeting time to first discuss astronomy in Islam and at 8:30p.m car-pool to the University Observatory to gaze upon the creation of the One True God. There will be individual telescopes and the huge orbital telescope to look at planets, etc.
“We have not created the heaven and the earth and all that is between them in mere idle play. None of this have We created without an inner truth: but most of them understand it not.” (Qur’an Chapter 44: 38-39)
Please join us in this event of reflection tomorrow night!

Fast-a-thon:
For the first time the MSA will conduct a food drive for the Food Bank of Central & Northeast Missouri. That’s right, Can YOU last the fast? We are challenging students and faculty of Truman to fast from sunrise to sunset from food and drink (10.5 hours). October 23rd from 6 a.m until 6:30pm. Those who fast will donate a dollar to the cause (which will provide 17 lbs of food to those in need) and another for registration and dinner at the Taste of Islam event. We are also collecting non-perishable items at the SUB tables in the week preceding the event. ”Go Hungry for a day so someone else doesn’t have to.”
Taste of Islam:
This fall the MSA will host its annual Taste of Islam event taking place on October 23, 2011 from 6-8pm in the SUB Georgian room B. Tickets cost $1 and will be sold the preceding week in the SUB. The event will have a presentation shedding light on Jihad, delicious Indian cuisine, and results of our Fast-a-Thon Food Bank Drive.

Alhamdulillah {All Praise to God} we have completed another Ramadan. In this Holy Month Muslims are obliged to fast from sunrise til sunset for the sake of gaining God-consciousness and striving to become more righteous. We also obstain from evil deeds and try our best to gain virtuous deeds. Ramadan is a month of asking for God’s Mercy, Forgiveness, and Salvation from the Hellfire.
Eid ul Fitr {Festival/Holiday of Breaking Fast} is the three day celebration that marks the end of Ramadan in which families pray together, feast together, and share gifts.
Today is officially Eid ul Fitr and we say, “Eid Mubarak!” {Blessed Holiday/Festival}. We are sending an Eid card as a small gift to our members in honor of our Eid Holiday.
