SHURUQ is a "Theme Month" club at NYU that hosts events from mid-March until mid-April every year. Meaning "sunrise," Shuruq sheds light and exemplifies the diversity of life, culture, art, music, literature, religion, cuisine, and politics in the Muslim world, defined as representative and inclusive to people from all over the globe, including Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and the Americas. Shuruq intends to highlight the various aspects of the Muslim world and its culture. This is done through various ways - such as political charged debates, trips to exhibit Muslim art, events catered around foods associated with the Muslim world, personal vignettes about everyone's experience with Islam and many more events. Shuruq aims to highlight the beauty of a culture that we can all call our own and intends to invite everyone to see the various dimensions that the Muslim world has to offer. Shuruq seeks to provide an outlet for the celebration of Muslim identity as well as a platform for the real intellectual voices on Islamic thoughts and beliefs. We seek to foster an attitude of greater harmony and understanding within the NYU and broader NYC community.
