The situation in Palestine 🇵🇸 has us all wanting to do more, including being informed and educating ourselves. However, there is an influx of information and history. Do you want to learn about the situation but don't know where to start? A centralised and holistic crash course would be great, wouldn't it? Well, here is good news - we introduce EDUCATE TO LIBERATE 🌍🇵🇸

The Sacred Land Initiative, Stand4Palestine, and the Victorian MSAs have come together to invite Sheikh Ahmad Abdo to conduct a comprehensive crash course that will cover everything from the historical backdrop of Palestine, misconceptions, and practical insights from an Islamic perspective. Sign up now, dont delay!

MPIS stands with Palestine.

We condemn the genocide of any people, and in this case the Palestinian people. The people of Gaza, Palestine have been deprived of their homes, electricity, food and numerous other blessings that we take for granted.

Half of the population in Gaza are children. Countless families have to witness their innocent lives being stripped away from the face of the earth. What did they do to deserve this?

How blessed are we to be afar from this inhumanity, with the luxury of being able to turn our devices off and continue with our daily lives.

The least you can do is donate, pray and spread awareness about the Palestinian cause. May grant the Palestinian people patience and strength through faith. May Allah free Palestine. Ameen 🇵🇸

Celebrating 15 years of MPIS, Alhamdulillah 🥺🥳🎈

MPIS was founded in October 2008 and since then, we have been striving to engage both Muslims and non-Muslim students on campus 🥰. Whether it's through dawah events, Eid celebrations or Islamic reminders, we hope that MPIS inspires you to embrace and appreciate your Muslim identity ❤️ May Allah (SWT) accept our efforts, ameen.

If you would like to be part of our amazing team, check out our Linktree or previous posts for information about recruitment for our 2024 MPIS committee.

In a world of postmodernist feminism where binaries are broken and definitions are being redefined, how do we as Muslims navigate whilst maintaining our core principles?

Dr Tesneem Alkiek, the Director of Content Strategy and Expanded Learning at Yaqeen Institute will discuss the compatibility of Feminism in the Islamic Sphere. In understanding the socio-political context of Feminism, we can explore how we arrived at Gender Wars and the rise of Red Pill dialogue.

Join us for a critical conversation on a topic that permeates Western Society and social media and how we can operate within this new age of Feminism.

This event will feature a QnA to expand the discourse and explore the complicated facets of today's world.

🗓️ 7th June
⏰ 6pm
📍Theatre 1, 207-221 Bouverie St (Melbourne School of Population and Global Health), The University of Melbourne

Open to brothers and sisters!
