History of the MSA
The Stony Brook Muslim Students Association began as a small group, all trying to balance college life with the deen. The students involved were few in number, but the community bond that we have today was as strong as ever. In 1992, this small group became an official, USG-recognized club. What had begun as iftaars in the basement of Humanities turned into what you see today.
From 1992-2017, the organization grew exponentially. Each year brought in new passionate students and even the ones that graduated never forgot what they left behind. Today, the MSA holds numerous events throughout the year for 150+ people such as the Fast-A-Thon, Scarves for Solidarity, and more. None of it would have been possible without the work of each and every member since its very beginning. Whether it be event planning or even helping with event setup or prayer room cleanup, each person contributed something invaluable. Today, SBU MSA has a new home at the Melville Library but the legacy left by those before will remain for generations to come insha’Allah.
