The purpose of the MSA will be to serve the best interest of Islam and Muslims of Texas A&M University. Overall, the MSA shall:
What we do
Community Service
The Prophet, peace be upon him, said: “The most beloved people to Allah are those who are most beneficial to people. The most beloved deed to Allah is to make a Muslim happy, or to remove one of his troubles, or to forgive his debt, or to feed his hunger.” As Muslims we encourage ourselves as well as our brothers and sisters to serve the community by means of caring to the needy, providing food, and ultimately bringing love and joy into the world. At TAMUMSA we hold multiple, regularly occurring community service events in the heart of Bryan/College Station. We have also partnered with other universities across Texas to serve our community on the grandest scale possible!
Fundraising
The Prophet, upon be peace, said:“The believer’s shade on the Day of Resurrection will be his charity.” (Al-Tirmidhi). In effort to follow the prophetic tradition, every semester, TAMU MSA partakes in an initiative to help raise funds for charity. In the fall we partner up with Islamic Relief and Charity Week to compete in the Global Charity Week competition. And in the spring, we join other MSAs across Texas to compete in LSC’s Project Sadaqah. Alhamdulillah TAMU MSA has consistently raised the most money out of any school in Texas over the past few years!
education
As Muslim students pursue their secular education at Texas A&M, TAMU MSA attempts to create an avenue for them to future their Islamic knowledge and education as well. We consider it a primary objective of ours to ensure that all of our members leave Texas A&M not only with a degree but also with a strong basis in Islam that will allow them to succeed in the next life as well. With the help of our amazing Chaplin, Imam Mahad Qamar, we schedule re
Social
One of the best parts of being the only Muslim student organization on campus is our social events that bring together Muslims students from all over campus! Our social events are geared towards meeting new people and establishing long lasting friendships that follow you even after college. Our social officers plan regular socials to incorporate activities such as ice skating, potlucks, pumpkin patches, axe throwing, and more!!
Outreach
One of our primary objectives as the sole Muslim organization at Texas A&M is to represent and teach islam to our peers on campus. Through weekly da’wah tables as well as semesterly seminars, we as an MSA attempt to spread the guidance of Islam to our beloved TAMU community with the hope that Allah will soften their hearts to the truth of Islam. We also schedule regular da’wah training with experienced Da’ees and Shuyukh to ensure our members have all the proper tools needed to explain and spread Islam to their peers.
F A Q S
TAMU MSA is open to all Muslim students at Texas A&M! Whether you're an undergrad or grad/PHD, all are welcome!
To become a member, all you need to do is follow us on our TAMU MSA socials. There are no official membership fees or processes. We do however, recommend all our members who wish to be more involved to join as ICBCS members as that allows them to become TAMU MSA officers in the future and vote in our community elections.
TAMUMSA does not have a membership fee but to be more involved in our community, we recommend all our members to become ICBCS members. It cost $## a year to become an ICBCS member.
The best way to stay up to date on TAMUMSA and our events is to follow our socials (FB and Insta) and to join our GroupMe! All events will be posted on these channels. To get a good overview of the whole semester, make sure to check out our calendar on the website!
