As God says, “Is not He Who created the heavens and the Earth, and sends down for you water from the sky wherewith We cause to spring forth beautiful orchards, whose trees it never has been yours to cause to grow?” [Sūrah al-Naml: 60]
This year, the Muslim Students Association is going green with the Wildlife Conservation Network, Alliance for the Great Lakes, and Coral Reef Alliance.
