Letter from the President
Assalamu’alaykum, may peace and blessings be upon you.
am delighted to welcome you to the Oxford Islamic Society - our aim is to facilitate the needs of Muslim students at Oxford, aiming to support the social, spiritual, and personal welfare of all our members.
We’re proud to be one of the most active and welcoming societies in Oxford. From social events to spiritual reminders, we offer a wide range of opportunities for you to connect, reflect, and grow. Whether you’re looking to unwind with friends, deepen your understanding of Islam, or simply find your people, there’s something for you here.
Join us for an array of social events, including game nights, dinners at restaurants, punting excursions, pizza gatherings in the prayer room, and a range of other engaging activities. These events provide the perfect opportunity to forge lifelong friendships.
But we know that university life isn’t just about what happens on the surface. It’s a time when many of us ask big questions, search for meaning, and navigate challenges that test our identity and direction. Through our weekly classes and regular sessions with esteemed scholars, we aim to offer a space where students can reconnect with Allah ﷻ, find grounding in their faith, and develop a sense of purpose rooted in something deeper than the next deadline.
Before coming to Oxford, I was worried about how welcoming I would find the unfamiliar environment. I was grateful to find a tight-knit community of brothers and sisters who look out for their fellow Muslims. I found my home away from home at Oxford, and I pray that you will find yours too.
Our ISoc truly has something to engage every member. To get a glimpse of our vibrant society and stay updated with our upcoming events and initiatives, follow us on Instagram: @oxforduni_isoc
Should you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Feel free to join us at our future events. We look forward to meeting and welcoming you in person to our community.

Our goal is to inspire Muslims students who have the potential to thrive at Oxford and equip them with the skills required to do so. The Oxford Muslim Access Conference has been launched to address the barriers affecting Muslim students applying to top institutions.
