As-Salamu Alaykum (Arabic: السلام عليكم )

Peace be upon you all

Welcome to DukeMSA.org. I would like to add a special shoutout (and salaams) to Duke University's Class of 2015. Congratulations on making the best decision of your life in attending this fine institution (we might be a little biased)! I hope this website will familiarize you with everything you need to know about being a Muslim at Duke. If not, you can always shoot an e-mail to one of MSA's executive board members (found in About MSA). After you have checked out our MSA and subscribed to our listserv, be sure to check out the information under Muslim Life at Duke, especially the Center for Muslim Life (CML), which is the only dedicated building for Muslims on any American university campus. Duke is also unique having its very own Muslim chaplain, Abdullah Antepli. While these blessings play a large role in facilitating Muslim involvement on Duke's campus, they are in no way reserved just for Muslims and should be seen as valuable resources for the entire Duke community. That being said, feel free to take a look around our website and do not hesitate to forward any of your questions or concerns here.

Sister's Halaqa: Every Other Thursday, 9-1030 pm

In this women's only discussion group, we will discuss women's topics include marriage, hijab, prayer with men, surat analysis, or the occational women's only dance party.

This week's halaqa topic: Mariam. How can Muslim women follow in her example?

Qur'an Halaqa, Wednesday, 8-10 pm

Allah (S) calls us to think and ponder over the meanings of the Quran so that we might benefit from its guidance.  The Prophet (P) also reminded us that the Quran will be our intercessor and guide on Judgement Day.  So, join us every WEDNESDAY from 8pm-10pm in the CML, as we explore the many beauties and treasures of the Quran!  We will be starting this week with the translation of Surah Rahman, a chapter that extols the immeasurable mercy of our Creator!

Weekly Zikr, Wednesday, 10-10:30 pm

After Wednesday halaqas, please be sure to stick around or join us for a weekly group zikr session! (Zikr is a term that loosely means 'remembrance' and is a spiritual practice focused on the remembrance of God, through God's most beautiful names and attributes.)
