THAQALAYN MUSLIM ASSOCIATION
of the University of British Columbia
Who are we?
The Thaqalayn Muslim Association is a non-affiliated Muslim student association at the University of British Columbia. We are a group of students who work to serve the needs of all students, and Muslims in particular, on campus.
The heart and core of al-Thaqalayn Muslim Association (TMA) revolves around the two weighty things, al-Thaqalayn of which the Holy Prophet Muhammad (S) said:
"I have been summoned (by Allah) and the moment is near for me to answer (to die). I leave among you the two weighty things: the Book of Allah the Almighty and my progeny; Allah’s book is (like) a rope extending from heaven to earth, and my progeny are the (Ahlul-Bayt). The Merciful informed me that the two will never part, until they come to me at the Pool (of Kawthar in Paradise), I warn you against deserting them."
Upon this foundation, and only this foundation, does TMA rest. TMA is not affiliated with any organization, nor is it affiliated to a specific Marja’ Taqleed. Rather TMA acknowledges all of them, both the alive (may Allah elevate their status) and those who have passed (may Allah bless their souls).
​
The Thaqalayn Muslim Association of UBC was founded upon the values of the Prophet of Islam and his progeny, with the goal of providing religious, spiritual, and community-based events and services for UBC students. TMA also aims to engage in interfaith and intercultural dialogue and outreach, in an effort to embrace our community's diversity and to promote an accepting, inclusive environment - free of bias and prejudice.
​
It is the belief of TMA that all of its members are valuable contributors. We are not a hierarchy of individuals, but are instead a closely-knit group of dedicated students working for the pleasure of Allah (SWT).
