MSA West Conference: University of California – Riverside – April 10-12th – “Change, that's real”

Do you feel pain when you see our sisters and brothers suffering in Palestine, in Bosnia, in Sudan, in Iraq? Do you feel as if marching in protests and writing letters to the editor is not enough? You're right.

In the Qur'an, our Creator says,

“Allah does not change the condition of a people until they change themselves.” (Al Ra`d: 11)

The revolution will not be televised. It will start with you.

“The focus of this year's conference pertains to improving the inner self or the Nafs. With this in mind, we hope to provide life changing lessons that will encourage personal development and spiritual maturation. The conference will provide a comprehensive and cohesive approach to living a happy and fulfilling life within the frameworks of Islam. We hope to promote the importance of being a well balanced and effective individual which is essential to the well-being of a Muslim. It is very important that our attendees walk away with a road map of principles that will guide them through life and the wisdom to overcome the challenges that they may face.

The development of sound character, personality traits, good habits, a conducive method and style of interaction and communication, to a higher level is at the forefront of our agenda. In this conference we plan to emphasize the importance of achieving emotional stability, spiritual balance, and physical well-being. We seek to highlight the role of emotions in the life of the Muslim and the proper approach to dealing with these human feelings. By using these life lessons as tools, our intended audience will leave this conference confident, aspiring to be a more effective individual and in turn a more involved, and efficient activist in the larger Muslim community.”
