Executive Committee
Assalamu'alaykum, I’m Riyad and I’m the President of the Oxford ISoc for 2026/27. My role involves shaping the society over the next year - supporting the committee on all of our projects, alongside the rest of the Presidential Team. My focus is making sure that the ISoc remains a welcoming environment, facilitating the growth of Muslims in Oxford. Whether it’s through regular classes, open discussions, or just shared meals, we want every student in Oxford to feel at home here.

Assalamualaikum,
As WoS, I aim to make your time with OUISoc special by running a host of unforgettable events. Anyone needing friendly advice or a listening ear will find that I am quite approachable (and a little too easy to find given I should be revising for my degree). If we haven't yet met, I'd love for you to come say salam and you'll hopefully be met with a face filled with joy and eagerness to get to know you. I hope you have a wonderful time with OUISoc and feel the deep sense of community we share.
”Indeed, the righteous will have salvation—”

Asalaamualaikum, I’m Roukéya, the Student Affairs Officer of OUISoc! Whether your concerns are social, structural or academic, I am dedicated to helping you navigate them in order to optimise your experience here at Oxford, be it at the college or departmental level. I accept this role with a huge amount of gratitude — it is truly a privilege to be able to connect with and aid my peers for the sake of Allah!

Assalaamu’alaykum! I’m Jennah, a medic at Queen’s, and I’ll be your access director this year. Over the coming year, the Access Team will in’sha’Allah be running a range of initiatives designed to facilitate greater exposure to Oxford and to support students at every stage of the application process. Our work aims to make Oxford feel more approachable and instilling in students the conviction that this is a place where we belong, while affirming that our deen remains integral to shaping our experience here. We want to provide an ongoing support system, rather than a series of disjointed events - something that students can consistently rely on throughout their journey.
"Say, “Nothing will ever befall us except what Allah has destined for us. He is our Protector.” So in Allah let the believers put their trust."

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته! I'm Zeeshan, your Alumni Officer for 2026/27. My role is to build a real, lasting connection between our current students and the incredible community of OUISoc graduates out there. This year, I want to make that relationship genuinely two-way: creating meaningful connections through events and mentorship, building sustainable funding so the ISoc can thrive long-term, opening doors for access and opportunity, and strengthening our alumni network so no generation of ISoc is forgotten. Whether you graduated last year or twenty years ago, this is still your society. I'd love to hear from you, so reach out any time!

Assalamualaikum, I will be returning officer inshallah.
“Allah does not require of any soul more than what it can afford. All good will be for its own benefit, and all evil will be to its own loss. ˹The believers pray,˺ “Our Lord! Do not punish us if we forget or make a mistake. Our Lord! Do not place a burden on us like the one you placed on those before us. Our Lord! Do not burden us with what we cannot bear. Pardon us, forgive us, and have mercy on us. You are our ˹only˺ Guardian. So grant us victory over the disbelieving people.”.”
