Support the USC Muslim Community!

We invite you to join us in serving Muslim life at USC through your monthly donations. Your valuable contributions —- in any amount —-  would help cater to the needs of over 1000 Muslim students.

According to a narration by Abu Hurairah, the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), said: “Charity does not decrease wealth, no one forgives another but that Allah increases his honour, and no one humbles himself for the sake of Allah but that Allah raises his sta

tus.” (Narrated by Muslim) 

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wabarakatuhu. The Muslim Student Union (MSU) at USC is a vibrant community dedicated to fostering a welcoming environment for Muslim students on campus. We hope to offer sanctuary to brothers and sisters where faith can be practiced with unshakable confidence. With your help, we can help build a lively community where every Muslim student feels valued and empowered. As the community grows rapidly, so does the challenge of meeting its demands.  

Our goals include:

• Provide diverse opportunities for students through social events, tarbiyah programs, Islamic-focused professional development, and service and advocacy.

• Cultivating a nurturing community by creating an environment that not only allows for religious  growth but also fosters personal and faith based development.

• Our vision is to: (1) Build an inclusive community that welcomes all Muslims, creating a supportive space for connection. (2) Implement tarbiyah initiatives to deepen understanding and practice of Islam. (3) Provide diverse opportunities for service, empowering members to meaningfully give back. (4) Lead advocacy efforts that reflect our values and address important global issues.

Some of our Events:

In addition to weekly halaqas lead by Sheikh Jibreel Speight and Tajweed classes, the MSU in the last year alone has: 

• Hosted multiple smaller scale events such as Dawah Training led by Ustad Shahab Hassan, Fatihah Tafsir, Arabic classes, Fajr and Philz, bonfires at Dockweiler Beach, and an Islamic personal finance course led by Sheikh Furhan Zubairi from the Institute of Knowledge.
• Hosted multiple smaller scale events such as Dawah Training led by Ustad Shahab Hassan, Fatihah Tafsir, Arabic classes, Fajr and Philz, bonfires at Dockweiler Beach, and an Islamic personal finance course led by Sheikh Furhan Zubairi from the Institute of Knowledge.
• Fundraised $8,500 for humanitarian efforts in Palestine, Morocco, Libya, and Afghanistan.
• Hosted two blood drives with the American Red Cross bringing in 50 donors.
• Hosted two retreats to Joshua Tree and Big Bear Lake, where over 100 students participated in spiritual reflection, hikes and bonding activities.
• Hosted large scale events including an end-of-semester dinner and banquet for up to 200 students.

In Shaa Allah this year we plan to implement these events —more in numbers, large in scale— ranging from robust advocacy to  service. We will also be undertaking our first inaugural Umrah trip in December iA, where we aim to provide the opportunity for students to attend Umrah who otherwise would not be able to.
