Subject: JHUMA Undergrad Ramadan Series

Salaam Bros.,

Hope Ramadan is going well for all of you. This year especially, it seems there are many worthwhile causes to consider contributing toward. In that regard, I wanted to share with you a message I received yesterday from Imam Tariq Najee-Ullah, the current Assistant Chaplain for Muslim Life at JHU. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, all in-person classes at JHU have been cancelled and the undergrads have returned home. They remain engaged with classes and extracurricular activities virtually, however. To maintain community and spiritual connection during this month, Imam Tariq and JHUMA organized a nightly lecture series for Ramadan that the students have found to be very beneficial. It's a well-developed program, flyer is included below.

They organized this on the basis of their annual budget, but due to recent student organization budget cuts across the board, they are short on funds to support the Ramadan lecture series for the remainder of the month. In lieu of hosting an Iftaar this year, the Assistant Chaplain has requested whether the alumni would consider making a contribution to support the program. In total, they're looking to raise $2000, but would use any contributions to support the program even in an abbreviated form.

If you are able to make a contribution, you can visit https://secure.jhu.edu/form/givenow.  On the givenow page, "other" needs to be selected and then "Johns Hopkins Muslim Association" or "Johns Hopkins Muslim Student Association" needs to be entered.

I've included additional information below about how to join these nightly sessions if you are interested.  

JZK,

Shekeab

Salaam JHUMA Alumni,

Hope you're well. I wanted to update you after our recent request for contributions to support the JHUMA undergraduate Ramadan program. Alhamdulillah, about $1500 to $2000 was collected after our initial emails to you! Thanks to your support, the undergrads were able to continue their nightly virtual lecture series through the end of Ramadan, as they had originally planned.

Thank you for your contributions and helping the undergrads continue to benefit from their program. May your good efforts during this month of Ramadan be accepted. I wish you all a blessed Eid!

Shekeab Jauhari ('09)
