Assalamu Alaikum,

Alhamdulillah, we are very happy to share another wonderful achievement by the MAWV Youth team.

By the grace of Allah SWT, we have coordinated with SEM Upper School to establish Jumu’ah (Friday) prayers on campus, Insha’Allah, beginning coming Friday.

SEM has graciously reserved a dedicated room for Jumu’ah for the entire academic year, and all Muslim students on campus will be excused from class during that time to attend the prayer.

We are especially proud that Rayyan Rehman, son of Mushfiq Rehman, has stepped forward and volunteered to lead the Jumu’ah prayer. May Allah SWT reward Rayyan abundantly for taking on this responsibility. Ameen.

We are also very pleased to share that SEM has supported the formation of a Muslim Student Association (MSA) on campus. This will provide our Muslim students with an opportunity to connect with one another, strengthen their Islamic identity, organize activities, and create greater awareness and understanding of Islam within the broader school community.

Alhamdulillah, this is another meaningful achievement for the MAWV team and an important step toward supporting our Muslim youth, strengthening their connection to their faith, and helping them feel confident and supported in their school community. Most importantly, it gives our young Muslims a sense of belonging and a supportive environment where they can practice their faith while being fully engaged in school life.

May Allah SWT continue to bless these efforts and make them a source of lasting benefit for our children and our community. Ameen.

Tonight the Bee Healthy Bus and our nurses attended National Night Out sharing resources and health screenings to the community. We had Muslim Association of Wyoming Valley join us for free screenings for BMI and blood pressure. It’s also the first week of National Immunization Awareness Month where we shared information on vaccines across the lifespan. We also shared guidance on Tick-borne illness, gun safety, drowning prevention, lead poisoning, measles, medication safety, and STD’s. Our next stop with the mobile clinic will be Thursday 8/6 at Wilkes Barre Farmers Market where we will have free Talk with a Doc, blood pressure screenings, and health education materials as well as prevention tools.

Dear Community members,

Asalam o Alaikum,

Alhamdulillah, keeping in the spirit and Sunnah of distributing Zakat al-Fitr before the Eid prayer, the Muslim Association of Wyoming Valley (MAWV) was able to provide over $1500 (Fitrana) worth of groceries and halal meat (more than 400 lbs of meat was distributed , ahdl) to the families in need in our community.

Keeping in view the spirit of Ramadan, MAWV was also able to organize additional four pantry distributions in this blessed month.

We are grateful for the generosity of everyone who contributed and helped ensure that families could prepare for Eid with dignity and ease.

Jazakum Allahu Khairan for your continued support and generosity. May Allah swt accept from all of us and place barakah in your wealth and families. Ameen

Eid Mubarak!

Dear Community Members,

Asalam o Alaikum,

During this blessed month of Ramadan, MAWV had the honor of helping, organizing and engaging with our local Communities.

By organizing these educational Iftar gatherings it gave students, faculty, local mayors, city councils and community members the opportunity to experience the tradition of breaking the fast together while learning about the values of fasting, compassion, gratitude, and charity representing the true spirit of Ramzan.

We are grateful to the communities at Wilkes University and Wyoming Seminary for welcoming us and for the opportunity to build bridges of understanding, friendship and hope.

As Allah swt says:

“And they give food in spite of love for it to the needy, the orphan, and the captive.” (Qur’an 76:8)

We thank Allah swt and MAWV Team for their tireless efforts.
May Allah (SWT) accepts it.

We are honored to be hosting our first-ever Ramadan dinner in March, a meaningful milestone for Sem. This upcoming evening, graciously provided by the families of the Muslim Association of Wyoming Valley, will offer an opportunity for fellowship and reflection.

At Wyoming Seminary, we are committed to fostering a community where all traditions are recognized and valued. We look forward to gathering together for an evening that reflects the spirit of generosity, gratitude, and connection that defines Ramadan.
