Bismillah.
According to the Stony Brook University website, the Union building is closed tomorrow, July 4th. As such, we will not be holding Jumu’ah on campus. We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause.
Insha’Allah those who were intending on attending Jumu’ah on campus can attend Jumu’ah at Selden Masjid. First adhan is at 1:15 PM (try to be on time!).

By Munzareen | June 1, 2008
Now that the Spring Semester is over and Graduation has already taken place, some of you may be wondering how to keep in touch with the MSA…
Well, if you haven’t already joined our mailing list (send an e-mail to us and we’ll add you) - there is indeed a new addition to our website. It’s been an off-and-on part of our site (and if you’ve been a regular visitor to our website- you’ll have noticed many changes to our format) but it’s back- The Stony Brook MSA Forums are up and running!
There’s a link in the right hand toolbar but if for some reason you want to click a link in this post, then here it is.
So register, make an account and start posting!
