Assalamu Alaikum. All praise and thanks belong to Allah the lord of all things. It's been a privilege to serve as the President of the Muslim Student Association for the third consecutive year. It has truly been a grueling journey of determination and persistence. Starting from an entire year of meetings with close to 0 members, to the biggest club hosting board wide events. The ups and downs, the pre-event stress, the post-event relief, the arguments, the laughs. The sheer amount of dedication put into this club can not be put into words. I was merely a tiny piece of a massive puzzle. It is the people around me that have made everything possible. Everyone on this page has dedicated countless hours for the Muslim community. Looking back, it would have been impossible and incredibly depressing to walk this journey without them. They all have a place in my heart, and I wish I got to express it more often, rather than always trying to be the perfect President. If I have made a correct decision or done good, it was by the grace of Allah, and if I made a wrong decision or wronged someone, it was due to me.  Allah has made MSA successful, and I make dua'a he makes it a pillar of dawah and a source of ease for Muslims at WCI for future generations.

JazakAllahu Khairan

Assalamu Alaikum. I'm honored to be your Vice President of the MSA. 

In my senior year of high school, my interests include Islam, history, basketball and soccer. 

My goals for MSA is to make the Muslim community here at WCI as welcoming as possible for all Muslims in the school:)

The MSA here at WCI has been a life transforming journey for me over the past three and I'm sure it can be for you!

I hope you find peace and tranquility at this amazing club!

Jazakumullahu Khayran!

Assalamu Alaikum everyone! My name is Jasmin, and I was the Events Director for this school year. This was my final school year, and I wanted to make it worthwhile by creating long-lasting memories for myself and the community through memorable events and fun activities.

I was inspired to join the MSA because of what it was doing and what it stood for, and I wished to be a part of that. My goal was to become someone others could look up to, just as I had been inspired by those before me. I aimed to create a warm and welcoming environment where our community could come together and forge lasting memories so that when they look back at their high school years, they can find a reason to smile :)

Alhamdulillah, I am grateful for the people I've met, the laughter we've shared, the lessons I've learned, and the memories made. I hope that future MSA members continue to do great things and enjoy their journey as much as I have.

InSha Allah, may the MSA thrive and continue to unite and inspire our community <3.

AssalamuAlaikum guys! I'm Faiqa, and I am so glad to have been able to spend my last year in highschool doing my part in helping the MSA grow and build upon the incredible progress it has already made. I'm so grateful for all the lessons I've learned and for the opportunities I've been given to create welcoming spaces for others to grow and learn more about Islam as well. I've always enjoyed planning and creating exciting events, and knowing that there is a greater purpose behind our events, it has been incredibly fulfilling to invest my time and effort into. Alhamdulillah for everything that the MSA has done for me and the rest of our Muslim community, and I hope it continues to grow and welcome many more passionate members who will find as much joy in it as I did:)

Assalamu Alaikum. I'm Ahyan, I lift heavy circles, I peddle smaller circles, I also take picture and edit video. I joined MSA because all of the cool kids were doing it. Throughout the year, my motivations for joining and remaining part of the team underwent a transformation. Initially, I joined MSA because my friends were involved, but as time passed, I found a deeper purpose in contributing to our school's Muslim community. Witnessing the tangible impact our actions made shifted my perspective. It's been quite an interesting journey, and I'm grateful to have received the opportunity to direct the media team. JazakAllah Khair.

Hello, my name is Tony Nguyen. This is my second and final year as a media director for MSA.

As-salamu alaykum, everyone. My name is Ali, and I'm in 12th grade. This year, I had the honour of being a media executive for the Muslim Student Association (MSA). When I think about my time with the MSA, I feel thankful and proud. This is my first time being in a high school club, and it's been an honour to be a part of a team that is so committed and helpful. As a media executive, I was able to allow me to combine my passion for media with my desire to serve the Muslim community at our school. We organized events, created engaging content, and fostered a sense of belonging for Muslims in WCI. I learned important things about how to lead, work with others, and talk to people that will help me in the future. Also, the MSA helped me make ties and connections that I will treasure forever. We had happy times, times when we worked together, and times when things were hard, but we always looked out for each other and grew as a family. Not only has this experience increased my faith, but it has also given me more faith in my ability to make a difference for the better. I'm grateful for the chance to have been a part of such a great group and for all the memories we made together. I'm sure the MSA will continue to grow and inspire students in the same way that it has inspired me.

My vision for MSA is to create a welcoming space for Muslims to unite and for Muslims as well as non-Muslims to learn about Islam. Together, our main purpose is to host engaging events, raise awareness, foster a sense of community, and facilitate opportunities to learn about Islam. Through these endeavors, we aim to make a positive impact on both our members and society, creating an inclusive and enlightening space for everyone. With your support, let us grow as individuals and as a compassionate MSA family, embodying the principles of Islam and striving to create a better world. JazakAllah.
