Assalam Alaikum,
We hope you're having a wonderful last week before Thanksgiving break. A lot of us have exams and to ease our burdens a little, some helpful duas for studying can be found at http://www.mizzoumso.org/index.php/component/content/article/1-updates/46-duas-for-studying. Here are the announcements for the week.
- MSO Volunteering at the Bank. We will be volunteering at the Central Missouri Food Bank on Monday(Today), November 14th from 4-5:30 PM. The Food Bank is located at 2101 Vandiver Drive, #B. If you need a ride to the food bank, please reply to this e-mail and let us know. It is important that we engage in giving back to the community and volunteering at our local food bank can be very fun as well.
- MSO Elections: We have an open position of Education Chair on the MSO Executive Board. If you would like nominate someone (including yourself) please use this link (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dFhOUW43eXl1VW1aUFBQbU56Q2wxdXc6MQ) and fill out the relevant information. The rules of nomination and election are at the link above. Elections will be held this Thursday after our discussion.
- MSO Discussion Night: We are continuing with our fun discussion nights this Thursday, November 17th at 6 PM. The location is S203 Memorial Union. The discussion will last about one hour and we will have elections for Education Chair right after. Remember: You can only vote if you're a member, so bring your $10 dues if you haven't paid them yet.
- Reminder of the Week: Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) said, "By the One in Whose Hand my soul is! If you do not commit sins, Allah would replace you with a people who would commit sins and seek forgiveness from Allah; and Allah will certainly forgive them.''[Muslim]. Commentary: This Hadith does not mean that Allah likes disobedience. But by this way of description, the aim is to emphasize the importance of seeking forgiveness from Allah. We know that every man commits sins. But Allah likes those people who, after committing a sin, do not stick to it, but right away seek forgiveness for their sins from Allah. They weep and express sorrow before Allah. By seeking forgiveness, a relationship with Allah is established between man and his Creator. So seeking forgiveness is a very good act.
Please keep us in all your Duas(supplications).
JazakAllah Khair (May Allah grant you the best)!
-MSO Executive Board
