Q: What is MSA?
A: MSA stands for Muslim Students’ Association. It is an organization that serves to assist Muslims in their practice of Islam and endeavors to promote awareness of Islam.

Q: How do I become a member of MSA?
A: If you are a Muslim you are automatically a member of MSA since we represent Muslims on campus. However, all students are welcome to any of MSA’s events, such as tafseer classes, halaqas, dinners, workshops, etc.

Q: Can non-Muslims attend MSA meetings?
A: Non-Muslims are always welcome to come to our lectures and other events.

Q: Do I have to be part of the committee to be involved in MSA events?
A: No. However, the committees of MSA need a lot of help. One person alone cannot do everything. You can be involved by attending events and/or being actively involved in helping these committees.

Q: Does being involved in MSA fulfill all of my responsibilities of being a Muslim?
A: No. MSA is just one of the means to get closer to Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He) and worshipping Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He). Participation in MSA should not be your only means of Islamic consciousness. Insha’Allah, you should be doing things in the community and in your house that will educate you and the people around you about Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He) and Islam.

Q: In order to be a good Muslim do I have to be part of MSA?
A: No. The MSA is only one way of helping yourself to become a better Muslim. There are other ways that you can increase your Iman and Taqwa. MSA is always grateful to Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He) to see Muslims taking steps in the right direction to better themselves.
