Salamalaikum everyone!
ISNU will be providing post-election resources for all Muslim students, regardless of political stance. E-Board members are available for your thoughts and concerns, as well as to provide opportunities to best facilitate your response; please do not hesitate to reach out. Thursday and Friday, ISNU will be hosting an unstructured safe space for Muslims on campus in the Sacred Space including tea, movies, board games, and optional dialogue to provide a collective community space for students to process and voice their thoughts and reactions. Start times for both days will be announced shortly. Hope to see you there!
If you are interested in participating in a social justice focused response, Northeastern Crossing will be working with Sticky Rice Thursday from 6PM-8PM in International Village to host a workshop combating anti-Muslim violence. If you plan to attend, register below! Don’t worry, we’ll still be in the Sacred Space when you get back.

Qur’an Circle:
We will be holding our weekly Qur’an Circle this Friday from 5pm - 6pm in 210 Behrakis. This semester, we’re hoping to memorize Surah Ar-Rahman, so we hope to see you there!
Group Fasting:
We will hold group fasts on Mondays and Thursdays, just like the Sunnah. We will break fast at Deen and Dine and at Qur’an class. Each person who successfully completes a fast from sunrise until sunset (suhoor is not mandatory, but encouraged) will receive a ticket. At the end of the semester, all the tickets will be placed into a basket and one will be drawn randomly. The name that is pulled out receives a prize. We add up all the fasts and see how many we can gather throughout the semester.
Pillars:
Make sure to continue one-on-one bonding with your mentor/mentee, and stay tuned for our next group event inshallah!
