For those in the Northeast, a massive treat is coming your way in the form of the MSA's East Zone Conference, being held at the University of Pennsylvania, from April 10-12, 2009.

Speakers this year include an electrifying cast of Nouman Ali Khan, Altaf Hussain, Khalid Latif, Hisham Mahmoud, Taha Abdul-Basser, Faraz Rabbani, Anwar Muhaimin, and others.

And special events this year include a basketball tournament, fashion show, and Islamic Finance workshops.

This will be a great opportunity for Muslims to come together and benefit from the knowledge of scholars, while also providing a forum for Muslim student organizations to unite and network.

Prices are $40 ($110 with hotel) for regular registration (ends on March 16th) but seems to have been extended. Don't miss out!

About MuslimMatters

Muslimmatters.org began in 2007 as a collaboration between various Bloggers and Shuyukh in order to bring attention to issues faced by Muslims, especially in the West. We have focused on issues of Religion, Society, Ethics, Sex Education, Politics, Civil Rights, Family, as well as the random issues that pop up from now and then, all with some ranting and humor mixed in.

We challenge ourselves and our readers to engage in discourses that touch our lives as citizens of the West, while maintaining our individual Islamic identities: Ultimately to cooperate, but not to compromise.

I think we also had a lecture by MUHAMMAD AL SHAREEF. I think so. I think he was there.

MSA E-zone 2002 in New Jersey was one of the catalysts for me to start practicing Islam.
May Allah bless E-zone and its workers.

It really does sound like a great event. And knowing the MSA @ UPenn, those folks know how to organize… the campus is also beautiful, so it can only add to the experience :)

P.S. In the interest of full disclosure, I am at Penn, so a little biased :)

Sounds nice, having it at UPenn. Is br. Nouman gonna enter the basketball tourney? I’m sure he can dunk.

While explaining balagha to his defender. After breaking his ankles. Twice.

Hisham Mahmoud is top notch (if I’m thinking about the right person…the Egyptian brother). His lectures on ‘Muhammad in Bible’ have brought many people to Islam, mashaAllah. On the flip side, ***** is a mushrik. But, thanks for highlightening him as well. You guys don’t learn, do you?

Edited: Be very careful in pronouncing specific people to be mushrik/kafir. No takfir on named individuals will be tolerated.

Sounds like ibrahim is trying to find a path back to the sunni
