Khutbahs

=Purpose & Goal=

//[What is the purpose of selecting specific khateebs and specific khutbah topics? What were the expected learning outcomes? How does this fit into the larger purpose of the MSA? etc.]//

=Methods=

If the Khateeb allows, we usually film the khutbah. We try to set the tripod so that only the Khateeb is seen. The video is handed to the IT Committeewhere they may upload it to the MSA youtube channel, http://www.youtube.com/MSAumd, with the Khateeb's permission.

//[Describe the process of selecting khateebs and khutbah topics, the schedule followed, leaders/speakers, etc. How did the selections achieve the above stated goals? etc.]// =Logistics=

We first try the turf field at Cole Field House. Their email is crsreservations@umd.edu, which is answered by the Coordinator of Facilities Reservations, Mark Comer. The email is straightforward,

Dear Sir,  On behalf of the Muslim Student Association, may I reserve the turf field at 1pm this Friday at the Cole Field House?  Thank You,

If they are booked, the second option is the multipurpose room at the Nyumburu Cultural Center. We would have to meet and book the room with the Associate Director of the Center, Ms. Carswell, whose office is next to the main entrance. If they are booked, the third option is the Armory. If they are booked the fourth option is on the grass outside the Musallah. It is helpful to send the email to Cole Field House on the Monday of that week.

//[Describe the planning and execution process. How many people were involved in selecting the khateebs? Who? How was the khutbah topic selected? By the committee or by the khateeb? Were the khutbah suggestions made by the general body considered? Where did the khutbah take place? How and when was the room reserved? Who was responsible for set-up? How was the set-up ensured to ? What advertising methods were used? etc.]//

=Review=

//[Reflect on the outcome of the khutbahs. Did they achieve their goals? Why or why not? Was the plan executed correctly? Why or why not? What might have been changed in the// plan? Was the planning process effective? //Why or why not? What improvements would you have made (in general)?]//
