The Ramadan Gatherings: Constellations of Meaning
Join us for nights of prayer, reflection, and dinner (ifṭār).
This year’s theme is Constellations of Meaning. Language is the great human miracle. We are able to put words from everything from simple objects to the most profound of abstract ideas and the most intense of human emotions.
The stronger our understanding of Islamic terminology is, the more in tune we are with our souls, the cosmos, and its Creator.
This year we will explore the subtleties and depth of meaning of core Islamic concepts and ideas in order to intensify our spiritual quests.

O you who have faith! When the call is made for prayer on Friday, hurry toward the remembrance of God, and leave all business. That is better for you, should you know.
And when the prayer is finished disperse through the land and seek God’s grace, and remember God greatly so that you may be felicitous.

Sacred Roots Student Collective: Chai Chat - Spirituality as an Act of Defiance
The Sacred Roots Student Collective invites the community to a Chai Chat on February 27th at 6 PM starting with Dua Kumayl!
In a world that often pressures us to conform and disconnect from our roots, choosing to embrace spirituality can be a powerful act of resistance. As we look to our history and value-based movements we see how faith can be a powerful tool and driver for community building and a catalyst for change. Together, we’ll reflect on how reconnecting with our spiritual selves can inspire change, challenge the status quo, and honor a legacy of speaking truth to power. Come share your thoughts, sip some chai, and engage in a meaningful conversation about faith, identity, and activism.
Please use the RSVP Form below to let us know you're coming!
Topic this week:
Economic Resistance
What does our soul have to do with the dollar bill? We will reflect on what our pre-conceived notions about wealth are and then explore what Islamic priorities we have been given, before then brainstorming how we can practically carry out Islamic economic priorities as producers and consumers.
