That's not all folks, there will also be an intrfaith iftar at the Lutheran
School of Theology on Wednesday, September 1. RSVP to strumm@lstc.edu by

A message from our vice president about praying tarwih on campus

Assalamualaykum Wa RahmatAllah
If you are on campus and looking for a place to attend taraweeh tonight and for the rest of this blessed month:

Masjid Al-Fatir is not far from campus. It's at 47th street and Woodlawn Ave. SAFERIDE can take you there and back Here is the number for saferide (773)702-2022. You may want to call for a ride about a half an hour before salah.

Downtown Islamic Center is at 231 S. State Street. You can take bus #6 or #2 to the city and walk over to Jackson and State, it is across from the footlocker and the McDonalds in the heart of the city.

Isha is at 9:30 so anticipate taraweeh to be held around that time.

Enjoy and take advantage of this Ramadan.
WaAlaikum Assalam WaRahmatAllahi WaBarakatu
