📱 MSKTH Board Takeover

We introduced our new board for 2024 through an exciting Instagram takeover! Each of the nine board members shared their stories and gave you a glimpse into their roles.

As a bonus, one of our takeovers included an impromptu group visit to the KTH Radio Tower, where we got to enjoy stunning views of Stockholm at sunset. If you missed out, make sure to keep up with our Instagram stories for spontaneous events like this!

We hosted a fun and cozy game night exclusively for active members and those interested in joining. It was a great opportunity to bond over games like Family Feud and Mafia.

🏆 MSKTH vs MSKI – Meet 'n Compete

We ended the month with an unforgettable collaboration with MSKI! Students from KTH and KI came together for a night of mingling, challenges, and exciting games. Highlights included an anatomy puzzle, tower-building with spaghetti and marshmallows, and an intense quiz battle. A huge thank you to everyone who joined us—it’s events like these that showcase the strength of our community!

The score? eeehh… Y’know maybe life isn’t all about winning all the time. Maybe the real Game Night was the friends we made along the way!! ☺️

Alright, so maybe our skills didn’t shine on the scoreboard this time... but hey, the snacks and the vibes? Unbeatable!

This isn’t over yet. We’ll be back for revenge soon enough…

🌟 AYAH OF THE MONTH

Whenever someone is touched by hardship, they cry out to Us, whether lying on their side, sitting, or standing. But when We relieve their hardship, they return to their old ways as if they had never cried to Us to remove any hardship! This is how the misdeeds of the transgressors have been made appealing to them.

— Surah Yunus (10:12)

This verse serves as a powerful reminder to turn to Allah in both hardship and ease, remaining consistent in our gratitude and reliance on Him.

🎥 VIDEO OF THE MONTH

Islampodden - #16: Var en produktiv muslim: Gynna din omgivning

This inspiring podcast (in Swedish) highlights how Muslims can be productive, impactful members of society. Key takeaways include:

  • Profeten ﷺ och samhället – How the Prophet ﷺ actively contributed to his community.

  • Islam i vardagen – Balancing faith with life in Sweden.

  • Etik och moral – Upholding integrity in work and studies.

  • Dua och gemenskap – Making supplications for others and fostering meaningful friendships.

Listen to the full episode and reflect on how we can all contribute positively to our communities.

🧠 BRAIN TEASER OF THE MONTH

This month’s riddle:

A man pushes his car to a hotel and tells the owner he’s bankrupt. Why?

Do you know the answer? Send us a DM with your best guess, and we’ll shout out the first correct answer in January's newsletter!

📢 Last Month’s Answer: Younes is statistically more likely to be a farmer than a librarian because there are far more farmers in the general population than librarians.

🎉 Shoutout to Sister Ayah for being the first to get it right—great job!

That wraps up this month’s issue! Thank you for being a valued part of our community. We look forward to seeing you at this month’s events, in sha Allah!

Sincerely,

The board of MSKTH
