We talked about these in class awhile back and I have been hearing more and more about them recently, so I wanted to some more research! Prior to looking it up just some of the things I knew were that these were pictures or videos that people can change and make pretty much anyone say …

ICR part 3
I volunteered 8 hours at the International Festival in Indianapolis. Other students and I assisted the IACA (Indianapolis Association of Chinese Americans) with the parade and presentation. The International Festival was from 9am to 9pm November 8,9, and 10. I volunteered on Friday, November 9th from 3-7pm, and then I volunteered on Saturday, November 10th …
The Catholic and Muslim church working together.
At the banquet that I went to this weekend that was sponsored by the mosque that I volunteer at, and for the Muslim community of Indianapolis. I kind of went into the event thinking that I would be one of the only white people there. That sounds bad, but it was something that I was …

11/10/19- Service
For this week’s service at Nur-Allah, we attended a banquet called the parent’s banquet. This banquet is an annual banquet that is hosted to honor and appreciate all of the parents that are a part of the Nur-Allah mosque and the Indianapolis area Muslim community. Nur-Allah, the mosque that we volunteer at, hosted the event. …
Parents Appreciation Banquet
Usually for our ICR Lauren, Shelby and I go to Nur Allah and help with their weekend school. However, this past week things looked a bit different.

Snow-yay! Snow In the Quran?

IPS Newcomer – 4
This week at Newcomer started out a little rough and was even more eye-opening to the issues surrounding the Indianapolis community. Each week that I have been here has been a very positive experience and has really opened my eyes to how open these children are to learning. Today, the classes were a little older …
Ustedh Ubayullah Evans “BCR talk Islam” 11/5/19
Ustedh Ubaudullah Evans talked tonight (11/5//19) in JH 141 and gave an awesome speech. He went into great detail about his life, schooling, and faith. All of these parts have helped make him to be the person that he is today. My first impression of him was that he was very funny, and I feel …

Readings for 11/7
These readings brought up the somewhat controversial idea of whether there is such a thing as free will or if everything in and about our lives are predetermined by God. I think a reason this can be such a controversial topic is because if you believe in God, he is all-knowing and created all humans, …
