Weekly & ongoing

Beyond seasonal events, these gatherings run throughout the year at the MSA Masjid (2001 Woodmar Dr). New to MTU? Any of them is a good place to start.

  • Friday Sermon (Jumu’ah) — every Friday at the masjid. See the prayer times page for this week’s time.
  • Five daily prayers — held daily in congregation at the masjid.
  • Men’s & Ladies’ weekly Halaqah — weekly study circles for brothers and sisters.
  • Sunday Children’s Madrasa — on pause for now. We’re working to bring back weekly Qur’an and Arabic for kids.
  • Ramadan community iftars — nightly during Ramadan, with a Grand Iftar mid-month.
