Assalamu-Alaykum and a warm welcome to Leeds University!
The Islamic Society. It's two words.
-
Islam: Is to testify that there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah, to perform the prayers, to pay the Zakat, to fast in Ramadan, and to make the pilgrimage to the House.
-
Society: The most highly organized type of social organization; consist of individuals that show varying degrees of cooperation and communication with one.
Together the Islamic Society is something that is here to help promote the message of Islam amongst ourselves and to non-Muslims. I urge you all to take that tentative step towards your Islamic Society, its hard I know trust me I was in that position myself 3 years ago and it has led to an incredible journey I had never imagined.
You’ll find friends who will be forever a part of your University experience, laughs, jokes (yes, honestly) a shoulder to lean on, a community and an everlasting experience. So let’s shed the stereotypes and step forward and give it a go, what is there to lose? Remember that the reward of this work is surely with Allah
Their Lord responded to them: "I never fail to reward any worker among you for any work you do, be you male or female you are equal to one another..." (Quran 3:195)
Remember the Islamic Society and its volunteers in your duas and please feel free to contact me for queries, advice or whatever you may need during your time in Leeds.

'ISOC is a great way for you to meet new people and socialise with other sisters in a halal university environment. This can be done in the green room as well as by coming along to the sisters socials. This year I want to make ISOC the perfect medium for you to meet Muslim students by organising socials that create such opportunities. Whether this is done through sister circles, sport activities or trips, ISOC is the place for you!
Remember, this is your chance to meet other Muslim students. Look out for our events and just come for the fun!
