Weekly Discussion and Halaqah

Muslim Life meets weekly for about an hour in a ABAC format repeating monthly:

Week A: Ḥalaqah Series

The Ḥalaqah Series offers an opportunity to connect with the spiritual teachings of Islam through reflection by encouraging participants to explore profound messages and engage in meaningful dialogue. Each year, the Series is focused on a theme; themes in the past include:

• The story of Yūsuf (as)
• The story of Mūsa (as)
• The Parables of the Qur'ān
• Sīrah of The Prophet (s)
• Stories of the Prophets

Week B: Open Box Series

The Open Box Series offers students a unique opportunity to lead spiritual discussions on topics they are passionate about. The student leader collaborates with the Muslim Chaplain to select a topic and prepare reading materials for the session. The event begins with students presenting their reflections on the chosen topic for the first 20 minutes. This is followed by a student-facilitated discussion for the remaining time, allowing for an engaging and enriching dialogue. Topics in the past have included Israel/Palestine, relationships, political engagement, and intentions.

If you are interested in leading, please contact Waleed.

Week C: Dinner at Dhall

Dinner at Dhall provides students with a valuable opportunity to come together, connect with one another, and take a break from the demands of college life. This informal gathering encourages students to enjoy a meal and engage in meaningful conversations without the pressure of a structured agenda. It’s a time to check in with friends, meet new people, and build community in a welcoming and stress-free environment.
