In the name of Allah, the most Gracious, the most Merciful.
The Muslim Student Association at UC Davis humbly invites you to our first annual banquet: Welcome to the Family.
MSA here at UC Davis isn’t just a club, it’s one big family. In celebration of the freshman and transfer students starting UC Davis this year, we would like to welcome the newest MSA members into our tight-knit family while also seeing our returning members get back into the swing of things.
In the spirit of families, however, we must take a step back and remember our dear brothers and sisters who do not have one to celebrate. For this reason, we have decided to team up with Islamic Relief to raise funds with the intention of assisting thousands of orphans around the world who do not have families to love.
Join us on the evening of Thursday, September 29th as we welcome and integrate the newest MSA members into our community while also keeping our less-fortunate brothers and sisters in mind.
We look forward to seeing you there, inshaAllah.
يَسْأَلُونَكَ مَاذَا يُنْفِقُونَ ۖ قُلْ مَا أَنْفَقْتُمْ مِنْ خَيْرٍ فَلِلْوَالِدَيْنِ وَالْأَقْرَبِينَ وَالْيَتَامَىٰ وَالْمَسَاكِينِ وَابْنِ السَّبِيلِ ۗ وَمَا تَفْعَلُوا مِنْ خَيْرٍ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ بِهِ عَلِيمٌ
"They ask you what they should spend in charity. Say: 'Whatever you spend with a good heart, give it to parents, relatives, orphans, the helpless, and travellers in need. Whatever good you do, Allah is aware of it.'" [Qur'an 2:215]
NOTE: This is an outdoor event. It wil be held at the Alumni Center in the Moss Patio area.
