Assalamualaikum (Peace Be Upon You),


👋 Hope you’re having a great morning!


Welcome to the 6th issue of The MSA Times! We hope you are all continuing to do well this semester. In case you missed it at the last general body meeting, we are hosting an envelope challenge for Charity Week. This challenge is also a competition between the brothers and sisters! The goal is to raise as much money as possible (at least $100) for your team, as the President or Vice President will have to walk around the campus in a dinosaur suit, depending on which team loses. Furthermore, the top 3 individuals will win a prize! The deadline to submit your donations is Thursday, October 27th and envelopes can be found in the prayer room (Interfaith & Reflection Space). Additionally, this Wednesday, October 19th, we will be holding an event in the Atrium, Petals From the Prophet, where we will be handing out flowers with a Hadith from our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. We would love to see you all there inshaAllah!

🌏 Muslim News from Around the World

For the first time, one of Germany’s biggest masjids named the Central Mosque located in Cologne, Germany sounded the adhan outside to the surrounding area. Although this isn’t the first time in German history that the call to prayer has been heard outside of a mosque, to have it be heard from one of the largest masjids in Germany is a special occasion. In fact, authorities in Cologne have actually cleared the way for masjids to sound the adhan in public during a specific time slot accompanied by a noise limit depending on the location. Germany is home to more than 5 million muslims with around 100,000 muslim residents located in Cologne.
