The Muslim Student Union at USC has the primary focus of providing a strong Muslim community to the undergraduate and graduate students on the USC campus. Our aim is to educate both Muslims and non-Muslims about Islam, promote Islamic ideals, and help the underprivileged in the local community and abroad. Furthermore, the MSU aims to foster an active, interconnected Muslim community at the University of Southern California. We hold many events, both religious and social, to provide unique experiences grounded in faith. Our weekly events include Arabic classes on Mondays, Halaqah’s on Wednesdays with our chaplain Sheikh Jibreel Speight, Tajweed classes on Thursdays, Jumu’ah prayer on Fridays, and student-led activities during the week. We hold many more events throughout the semester as well. Follow us on Facebook, Instagram (@usc.msu), or online!
