Private: IOC Chronicles

“Islam Makes Sense” will focus on three distinct aspects of Islam that virtually all Muslims are super-familiar (read: even kinda bored) with: the Quran, the sirah, and salah. The point of these sessions is to go through each of these aspects of Islam and show how they're actually fascinating and can be very engaging. We will be discovering previously-unheard of gems from Surah Yusuf, exploring concrete, relatable 21st-century lessons to be derived from vignettes of the Prophet's life, and gaining information that transforms salah from a ritual habit to something that's a visceral experience each you time you engage in it. Discovering how logical and enriching these fundamental aspects of Islam are can help make a dent in our appreciation of this deen. These seminars will be informal and student…

As we all know, the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is one of the most beloved figures in all of history. As Muslims, it is part of our faith to have love for the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) but, sometimes it can be difficult to have love for someone who we are not in direct contact with. Because of that, it is imperative that we refresh our love for the Prophet. Join Islam on Campus on Wednesday, November 19th at the Arredondo Cafe for our 3rd General Body Halaqah. Together we will learn how to increase our love for the Prophet and his family over a delicious dinner and two amazing talks. Our speakers are Hamaad Rahman and Ali-Musa Jaffer: Hamaad Rahman is going to be talking about some specific episodes from the prophet's…

Giving for the sake of Allah SWT to those in need is key component of our deen. Allah SWT says in the Qur'an: "Be quick in the race for forgiveness from your Lord, and for a Garden whose width is that (of the whole) of the heavens and of the earth, prepared for the righteous,- Those who spend (freely), whether in prosperity, or in adversity; who restrain anger, and pardon (all) men;- for Allah loves those who do good;-" Qur'an 3:133-134 Allah SWT specifically mentions spending in times of adversity, and as college students I know we're tight on money, but every little bit helps! What better time to practice this ayah than now? This Sunday (Oct. 19th) inshallah we will be sponsoring Project Downtown Gainesville, Inc. with their service…
