The Muslim Chaplaincy الديوان الاسلامي للارشاد
Georgetown University is an established institution dedicated to a harmonious, pluralistic ideal in relation to faith. Similarly, the examples of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) also showcase the need for and importance of peaceful and informative discourse. In promoting this positive discourse, the Muslim Chaplaincy is focused on providing worship services and religious support to Georgetown’s Muslim community as well as providing accurate information about Islam and Muslims to interested members of the greater Georgetown community and area.
Recent Events: Imam Hassan Qazwini gave a public lecture at Georgetown University on Monday, 4/23, in Maguire 102. This event was sponsored by the Muslim Chaplaincy and the Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding (ACMCU).

The Copley Muslim Prayer Room provides a sacred space for the five daily congregational prayers for the Muslim students, faculty, staff, and visitors of Georgetown University. In addition to these worship services, Friday prayers, Qiyam al-Layl, and faith-related activities, such as weekly halaqas, Islamic lecture series, Dinners with the Prophet, lunches at the Medical School, dinners with Graduate Muslims, and Ramadhan iftars are conducted at various times during the academic year.
Finally, the Muslim Chaplaincy provides all members of Georgetown’s Muslim faith community an outlet for brotherhood, sisterhood, and support on-campus. In addition to its on-campus activities, it also arranges retreat programs and individual counseling that reinforce this bond and facilitate religious reflection and expression on and off campus.
