Sports, Da'wah and Charity - What's there not to like?

As-salam-alaikum

I am Zeeshan, the sports officer for the ISoc. Some of you may have not seen me much around campus. That is because I am a part-time student and have to manage this role along with my full time job! This position may not be as important as other roles but sports are a way to bring people together from various backgrounds and religions.

The Green Room

The Green Room is the University Islamic Society prayer room. It boasts Prayer halls for both brothers and sisters, Common rooms for both brothers and sisters, Wudhu facilities, a small library and Halal food.

The green room is open from 8.00am to 8.00pm every weekday. Outside of this, the door will be locked (including on weekends).

We ask everyone who uses the Green Room to take responsibility to clean up after themselves. We need volunteers to help us clean the prayer room thoroughly once a week – if you can spare some time to help us during the week please contact the relevant welfare officers to allocate you a time and day.
