William Paterson's Muslim Student Association is an organization that caters to the Muslim community at WPUNJ, and to shedding light on various aspects of Islam through weekly meetings, events, and philanthropic endeavors. We welcome all with open arms.
The primary goal of the Muslim Student Association is to serve the needs of William Paterson University's Muslim community. The MSA shall strive to establish and maintain the Friday (Juma'ah) prayers throughout the year, prayers, celebrations for both Eid holidays, and iftar (fast-break) meals during Ramadan. Additionally, the MSA shall make sure that there is a space on campus available for Muslim students to perform their daily prayers. Finally, the MSA shall do its best to increase unity within the Muslim community on campus through social events like study breaks, discussions, and dinners.
The secondary goal of the MSA is to serve the general campus community. The MSA shall strive to enrich the diversity of campus life by educating our peers about the religion of Islam through lectures, events, dialogues, and similar events. Additionally, the MSA shall strive to create and participate in interfaith events that promote understanding and tolerance of the diverse religious traditions on campus.
