I recommend getting a pocket map from COMPASS in the student center and marking these locations down for future references.

1) Institute of Applied Health Sciences – where most of our Iftaars take place, simply enter the building, turn into the hallway in the right and look for Room 143.

2) McMaster Hospital – There is a chapel here, only used by Muslims, if you ever need to pray while you’re going through the hospital or studying in the Health Sciences Library.

3) Wentworth House – location of the legendary MSA Office. Rumor has it that it shares the building with a very raucous neighbor so make sure you take a left after going through the front door and up the stairs!

4) David Braley Athletic Centre – on Fridays you will see a flood of Muslims walking into this building. Usually our Jumuahs are held in the Smith Gym. Ask desk staff or the Muslims walking in to show you the way. For the alternative location which will be announced, it is in the Dance Studio on the 2nd floor, where the indoor track is situated.

Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakaatuh

Now that I’ve caught your undivided attention with my extremely lame first post title, it is my pleasure to announce a new initiative within MacMSA Prayer Services.

This blog page for MacMSA will, insha’Allah contain recordings of:

1) Jumuah Khutbas.
2) Taraweeh recitations.
3) Lectures that are held by the Islamic Education directorship.

Add us to your favourites and bookmarks, and don’t forget to use the blog when you want to review something you learnt over the year!
