Glad Tidings to the Strangers
Friday, 15 Nov 2024 at 7:30 pm – 2155 Marston
Islam began as something strange and it will leave as something strange. This is not an excuse to be unusual without a reason, as Muslims have practices out of the ordinary such as praying when other sleep and fasting while others eat. This is why "glad tidings" are given to the strangers. When it is unusual to be righteous, Muslims stand out as the pious.Please note: This event is available for extra credit but will not be recorded.Students may card scan after one hour; the event may go longer but attendance is not required.Islam began as something strange and it will leave as something strange.
