The topic of this interactive discussion will be the importance of showing compassion to orphan children and those with </span><span>special needs. Afterwards, we will be praying <em>Salatul Dhuhr in congregation</em> on the quad! Don’t miss out on this awesome conversation and opportunity to give da’wah!</span></p><div><p>Then… <strong><u>Wednesday evening from 6-9 PM</u></strong>, the MSA will be having a <strong><u>Game Night in the Commons Game Room</u></strong> insha’Allah.
