MSA National: Serving Islam and Muslims Since 1963

Established in January 1963, the Muslim Students Association of the U.S. & Canada (MSA National) continues to serve Muslim students during their college and university careers by facilitating their efforts to establish, maintain and develop local MSA chapters. First established on the campus of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign by a conference of Muslim students from around the U.S. and Canada, MSA National has been a uniting forum for Muslim students from diverse backgrounds for over four decades. It continues its mission of meeting the needs of our Muslim youth on campus with the zeal and energy of the Muslim students, but requires the support of the larger community. Annual Program and Resources

MSA National is a non-profit organization that strives to facilitate networking, educating, and empowering the students of today to be citizens of tomorrow’s community. To achieve our objectives, MSA National organizes dozens of events and programs annually. In addition, MSA National develops tools and resources to facilitate information sharing and unite students across North America.

This month - we’re highlighting the M***a Vista High School’s MSA in Cupertino, California.📍

From April 6th-10th our school’s MSA organized a “Keffiyeh Week” in which we encouraged students to come to school every day wearing their keffiyehs. This was to show solidarity with the Palestinians and spread awareness while doing so. During this event, not only Muslims showed up to school in their keffiyehs, but also many non-Muslims.

Via our instagram we provided “Keffiyeh Fun Facts” which are still available to view on our page. This was to make the event educational and entertaining for our followers. As a whole, this experience was amazing for us because we got to see how many people care about what’s happening in Palestine and are willing to stand up for it.

This month - we’re highlighting the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC)’s MSA in Baltimore, Maryland 📍

Main Event is our biggest, most highly anticipated event of the semester. We invite scholars, both local and out-of-state, to come and speak on a given topic, deepening our community’s understanding and appreciation of the different aspects of Islam, and inspiring them to become closer to the deen. This semester, our topic was on the Prophet ﷺ as a role model. We had Shaykh Zaki Ali from the Islamic Society of Baltimore, Shaykh Saad Tasleem from AlMaghrib Institute, and Qari Saif Khaled.
