Muslim Student Life
Welcome to the Muslim Student Life page! We are happy to be your home at St. Thomas. This page has several resources for you, such as information about Muslim Clubs, Muslim Prayer Spaces, and different events happening around campus. We look forward to seeing you around campus and supporting you!
Juma Prayer Timings
Salat-ul-Jum'a/Friday Prayers are lead regularly by Muslim students who lead prayer and deliver sermons. If you are interested in leading Friday Prayers or giving sermons, please contact Dr. Sadaf Rauf Shier. Our prayer spaces are open to everyone and are NOT restricted to St. Thomas students only. They will take place in Schoenecker Hall in the Iversen Center for Faith.
Zabeeha Halal Snacks will be provided after Salat-ul-Jum'a
Our meditation rooms are open to people from all faith traditions. Muslim students frequently use these rooms for their daily prayers. Prayer rugs and Kaba locators are available in those rooms.
