1. Where can I pray on campus?

We typically hold jamaa’a prayers daily and also set up prayer mats Duhr-Isha Monday-Friday inside of the meditation space in the student center. Download the MSU UCI App (for iOS or Android) for the most up to date prayer times. They are also on the email E-Cal that is sent out weekly. You can visit Prayer Times for a less up-to-date approximation of the daily prayer times.

2. Where/When is Jumuah?

We will typically hold 2 Jumuah prayers on campus in the Dr. White Room in the Cross Cultural Center, the Student Center, or in the Prayer Area. The exact area will be on the weekly E-Cal, or can be found on the MSU UCI app. The timings can also be found in the App or on the Prayer Times tab.

6. Ramadan will be during the school year! What does MSU do for Ramadan?

MSU has been hosting FREE daily iftars (M-Th), as well as holding various halaqahs, classes, and workshops to improve our deen during the holy month for the past couple of years, and with your help will continue to do so insha'Allah. Be sure to donate here, on Venmo (@MSUUCI) or in person to any of our board members, and be sure to specify with your donation that it is for Ramadan. Ramadan is a time of growth in the community, and is one of the best times to be an MSU'er :).
