I know sometimes for those attending university/college that there is always that controversy within the communities MSA (Muslim Student Association) but I honestly think that we all don't give those sisters/brothers enough credit for what they do for the greater muslim population attending any school. Like always in everything there are rumors & people OUTSIDE the MSA like to gossip so how could we always believe everything we hear? am i wrong? It takes guts, courage and a good Iman to represent Muslims in front of other religions/non-believers and I really don't find that it's an easy task..takes alot of time & effort & May Allah reward those brothers and sisters doing it for the sake of Allah & to better the lives of the Muslims in the community! Ameen;; At the GB meeting today (General Body Meeting) one sister was basically challenging the President about why doesn't the MSA participate in rallies/protests or talk about issues that are going on & with all respect WHY DOES THAT MATTER? The brother made himself clear about the goals of the MSA & the reason for them to teach Muslims about their religions and then teach non-believers; providing classes ,lectures, events. . .& for some reason this sister wasn't pleased about it & just worried about issues that don't effect the 4 walls of the school. SubhanAllah islam&politics is a HUGE subject which is controversial, Muslims don't have it easy being in a non-Islamic country so then why become even more of a sore thumb & start rallies which only leads to chaos. We have to be smart there is none of this in Islam, no such thing as holding protests & yelling & acting barbaric ?!? We are peacful people. Early before the khutba ( friday sermon) a sister came up to one of the MSA executives & was asking them to bring up Eygpt in the khutbah & announce their rally..Umm we wait all week for a REMINDER to better ourselves why on earth would they add that to the mix? -- okay it's your country ma'sha'Allah eygpt is beautiful! HOWEVER what's going on there has nothing to do with Shariah Law& Islam. Yes they want democracy, but is destroy their beautiful country the answer? SubhanAllah anyways that sort of stuff MSA's shouldn't & the one at my school does not get involved in such things. The khutbah was about SEEKING KNOWLEDGE, which was perfect for today because in this day & time we are in serious need of it. Allahu Mustaan, Ameen =D
