ISNA Weekly Newsletter

Dear loyal readers,

Assalamulaikum

As the author of this weekly newsletter, I want to let you know about a small change to improve your reading experience. We have so much to share, but the newsletter has become very packed with updates, news, and content. To make it easier to follow, we will alternate the focus each week.

One week will feature ISNA convention updates and news. The alternating week will highlight ISNA services — including our MYNA youth programs, Horizons Magazine articles, Green Initiatives, and more.



We hope you enjoy this new format and find it more streamlined and useful as we move forward.

Sincerely,

Crystal Habib

Communications Coordinator

From Ideas to Impact: Join the Muslim Youth (MY) Hackathon at ISNA 2026

The MAFIQ Foundation, in collaboration with ISNA, invites Muslim high school, college, and university students to participate in the MY Hackathon at the upcoming ISNA Convention during Labor Day Weekend in Detroit, MI.

The MY Hackathon is a team-based innovation challenge where students work together to solve real-world problems facing our communities and society. Participants identify a challenge, develop a solution, and present their ideas to a panel of judges. No prior coding experience is required. Students from all backgrounds and interests are welcome.

To help participants prepare, a series of pre-event workshops will be led by technology professionals, innovators, and entrepreneurs. These sessions will introduce practical tools, technologies, and problem-solving approaches that participants can apply during the hackathon.

More than a competition, the hackathon is an opportunity to learn, collaborate, and grow. Participants develop critical thinking, teamwork, communication, leadership, and innovation skills while receiving guidance from experienced mentors.

Whether you are an aspiring entrepreneur, engineer, scientist, designer, educator, or community leader, the MY Hackathon is a place to turn ideas into action and make a positive impact.

Join us this Labor Day Weekend at the ISNA Convention and discover how innovation, teamwork, and purpose can turn ideas into reality.
