The Muslim community meets weekly for Jummah services. These Friday prayers are open to all and we welcome students, faculty, staff and community members to join us as our Muslim chaplain as well as students offer a khutbah to the community about the important role we play in the life of our community and the world. Contact Muslim Chaplain Khan Shairani for more information.
Spiritual Guidance with the Muslim Chaplain
Fridays 2:00 p.m. - 3:30 p.m. Interfaith Center 58 Winthrop St.
The Muslim chaplaincy hosts sessions after Friday prayers that includes halal pizza and readings from the tradition. That might be a linguistic analysis of a few verses from the Quran, a poem by a scholar from the 9th century in Arabic or Persian, or a passage from a modern writer talking about the Islamic world and modernity. All are welcome to join and meditate on the multiplicity of meanings in the texts of our tradition and engage in meaning-making and co-learning about each other and ourselves as we discuss the readings. Students are encouraged to request texts to read together that they are trying to understand as well! Contact Muslim Chaplain Khan Shairani for more information.
