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.
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.
A: Non-Muslims are always welcome to come to our lectures and other 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.
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.
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.
