See how Alhambra supports Muslim students at Stanford
Alhambra has been making a meaningful difference in the lives of Muslim students at Stanford. Here are some of their stories.
"Throughout my Stanford career, the impact of chaplaincy on my life has been immeasurable. I saw the chaplain, Dr. Amina, multiple times a week—at least three times—and she was such an affirming presence. Whether I was struggling with a personal issue or navigating challenges in my role as Co-President of the Muslim Student Union, having a trusted, third-party adult to listen and help me figure out how to solve problems was invaluable."
"As a freshman coming into Stanford, it was very difficult for me to connect with students since everyone came from different backgrounds, and I didn't really know whether I belonged in the community. What first drew me in, beyond the events and the socials, were individual conversations with Dr. Amina and her halaqas, where I began to see that everyone who comes and seeks her support is so varied in their background and the needs they have. She was someone who was available for people regardless of their background."
"Dr. Amina was a gracious and refreshing servant leader for our community for myself as a Muslim, who had accepted Islam while in college. She was able to provide guidance from so many different angles appealing to the various needs that such a diverse group of Muslims would need from advice on religious jurisprudence to day-to-day life, to future planning and relationships and so much more. Someone with the capacity to do that cannot be undervalued because otherwise students will be left to their own whims while also being in an environment where there are so many external forces challenging and antagonizing our identity is Muslims."
