Religious Services

The meditation room on the second floor of the Interfaith Chapel is available for students to pray on campus. A prayer mat and head cover are usually provided. Qibla direction is toward the front left side of the room when facing the altar. Prayer rugs are also available in Carlson Science Library at the circulation desk.

Jum'ah is held in the Chapel Common Room on the second floor from 1:30 PM to 2:00 PM every Friday. Khutbas are delivered by our eloquent chaplain, Br. Rashid Muhammad.

The MSA holds meetings every Thursday in Wilson Commons room 121 (along the back wall of the Pit) from 8PM until 9PM. Join us on our discussions on contemporary, relevant issues of Islam and the student community.

MSA members have also organized weekly Tajweed (Qur'an recitation) classes, held on Wednesdays in the Interfaith Chapel at 9PM. All skill levels are welcome, from beginners to skilled reciters. Since dates are still subject to change, please contact Imran Punekar (imran_punekar@urmc.rochester.edu) for details and subscribe to the UR MSA e-mail list for e-mail notifications. Also, please check the Resources page for links with instructions on Qur'an recitation/Tajweed.
