the Muslim Student Association hosted their annual banquet Friday

Celebrating achievement and faith, the Muslim Student Association hosted their annual banquet Friday night with a menu of traditional Arab cuisine and a lineup of speakers and performances.

The event, held in the North Campus Research Complex, drew about 200 alumni, students and other guests who gathered to celebrate MSA accomplishments during the past semester.

Many guests wore traditional clothing in nearly every color of the spectrum, and crystals often adorned the hijabs, or headscarves attendees wore.

The MSA, comprised of approximately 250 active members, works toward building a Muslim community on campus through community service, social connections, religious enrichment, social justice and interfaith relations.

The banquet also featured keynote speaker Amjad Tarsin, a University alum who is currently the chaplain and executive director of the Muslim Chaplaincy at the University of Toledo.

During his speech, Tarsin discussed spiritual empowerment and concepts of unity and diversity.

“I think that one of the beautiful things about places like the University of Michigan, and just kind of the commitment to diversity as a whole, is that people can agree on really broad primary principles and values,” he said. “For example, helping those in need, not harming one another, live and let live and working together on areas of overlap and agreement.”

Tarsin also noted Islam’s emphasis on personal freedom.

“I believe, as a Muslim, as an educator within Islam, is that everyone is free to choose their belief, their walk of life and I really believe that believing in that freedom of expression, that freedom of choice, is a thing that is a part of our religion,” he said.
