Muslim community hosts celebration

November 14, 2011

This Thursday, the Muslim community of East Lansing is inviting students to join them in a celebration of Eid al-Adha on the second floor ballroom of the Union. The event is free for MSU students and runs from 6:30-9:30 p.m.

Eid al-Adha, which means Festival of Sacrifice, is a Muslim holiday that is celebrated approximately 70 days after the month of Ramadan.

The event will feature a Hajj tour, picture souvenirs, a guest speaker and skits and videos produced by students.

Students also will be able to write their name in Arabic and get Henna tattoos. The celebration is a collaboration between eight student groups, including the Muslim Student Association, Saudi Student Organization and Malaysian Student Organization.
