Bismillah hirrahma nirrahim,

All Praise be to Allah Subhanu Wa Tala and may the peace and blessings be upon his prophet Muhammed Sala Allah Alaeh Wa Alihi wa Salam.

Dear Vistors,

Welcome to our new revamped website. This website is a result of four weeks of hard work mostly by our brother Wan Khalil.

Our goal at PennState is to create a haven for Mulsims to practice their religion and spread the message and teachings of Islam to our fellow students and our professors here at PennState.

The Muslim Students' Association is by no means an organization of a few indiviuals but rather of all Muslims. We derive our strength by your support and contribution. The Prophet (Sala Allah Alaeh Wa Alihi wa Salam) taught us that we must become a single body, and that a believer is one who likes for his brother what he likes for himself.

Pennstate diverse culture provides a phenomenal opportunity to meet Muslims from around the globe. We are very proud of our diverse background, and how despite all our differences we unite under one religion.

The MSA here at Pennstate holds several events throughout the year including the Annual ISNA Trip, Fast-A-Thon as well as various talks by well renowned guest speakers from around the US. All this is in addition to the services that we hold on a daily and weekly basis.

I am humbled to have been elected as the President of the MSA. An organization founded in 1964 by young Muslims just like us, with big dreams. Furthermore I believe that leadership is a position of servitude, and that the noblest of deeds is to help a fellow brother or sister.

The Messenger of Allah (May Allah bless him and grant him peace) said:

“Allah will relieve anyone who relieves a believer of one of the afflictions of this world, of one of the afflictions of the Day of Rising. Allah will give ease in this world and the Next to anyone who eases the hardship of another. Allah will veil anyone who veils another Muslim in this world and the Next. Allah will help His slave as long as His slave is helping his brother.” - [Muslim]

Please don't hesitate to contact us for any help, questions, suggestions that you might have and inshaAllah we will be able to help you out.
Knowing that none is perfect except the Allmighty Allah Subhanu Wa Tala, we are bound to make mistakes. We ask you to forgive us for our shortcomings and support us following the right path.

Finally I appoint you my brothers and sisters as watchers over me to support me in the good actions that I do, and stop me if I do wrong. Having said that I leave you with my contact information in case you anything to ask, suggestions or concerns that you might have.

Wasalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatu Allahi Wa Barakatuh,

Your Brother in Islam,

Zaid Ammar Al Balushi

President
The Muslim Students' Association - PennState
