Week devoted to educating, teaching about Islam

The final event of the Muslim Student Association's week to raise awareness about Islamic culture at USC will be held Thursday at 7 p.m.

The culmination of the week-long series is a lecture entitled “Science in Islam” delivered by Afroze Habib and will be held at 300 Main St., room B201.

With events each day from April 6 through April 9, the gatherings aimed to “provide an opportunity to engage in meaningful conversations about Islam on campus,” according to a university release.

The executive board of the Muslim Student Association wanted to use the week as a chance to “make themselves available to teach and help eliminate any misconceptions about the faith,” they said in the same university announcement.

Monday’s event was entitled “The True Meaning of Jihad” with a lecture from Imam Abdullah Khan, Tuesday’s speaker was Mutahir Sabree where he spoke about “Jesus in Islam,” and Wednesday offered a student panel on Islam, encouraging an “open discussion about Islam and being a Muslim.”

Each event was free of charge and provided dinner to the attendees while providing students a chance to engage and learn about Islam.
