Executive Committee
Assalamu’Alaikum, I’m Ahmad, a PPEist at New College, and I’m the President of the Oxford ISoc for 2025/26.
My role involves supporting the committee, coordinating our projects, and helping shape the direction of the society over the year. I’m particularly focused on building a community that feels welcoming, purposeful, and rooted in the values of our deen. Whether it’s through regular classes, open discussions, or just shared meals, we want every student in Oxford to feel at home here.
“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.”
- {Quran 2:286}

Assalamu’alaikum, my name is Noora and I am this year’s Female Vice President! I work alongside Ahmad and Moosa to ensure that the society runs smoothly for the benefit of all our members. I look forward to supporting the committee in their endeavours and witnessing the prosperity of this society for Allah’s sake.
The Messenger of Allah, صلي الله عليه وسلم said actions are judged by their intentions and so I pray that Allah purifies the intentions of our committee members and accepts their efforts this year.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any suggestions or even just for a chat :)

Assalamualaikum, my name is Moosa, a Biologist at Jesus College, and I will be one of your Vice Presidents for 25/26.
As Vice President, I will support in leading the society and ensuring everything runs smoothly, working closely with Noora and Ahmad. I’m responsible for overseeing events, managing logistics, fostering a welcoming and supportive environment for all members, coordinating communications, supporting committee members, and helping to resolve any issues that arise. As a former WOS, I hope to bring some vibes to the ISOC leadership (without being unserious inshallah)
As Muslims, we are taught to ask Allah frequently and to ask greatly. Suleyman (AS) asked for a kingdom unlike any other; I ask for the opportunity for Allah to use me to help the Muslim students of Oxford unlike ever before. May He grant me this request.
”Surely, it is Allah with whom rests the knowledge of the Hour; and He sends down the rain, and He knows what is in the wombs. No one knows what he will earn tomorrow, and no one knows in which land he will die. Surely, Allah is All Knowing, All Aware.”

I’m Nazifa, a medic at Jesus College. As the RE Officer, my role entails being a cog in the ultimate goal of OUISoc; helping our community to gain nearness to Allah ﷻ. I hope to support both brothers and sisters in their personal journey of falling in love with Islam by arranging a plethora of events which seek to meet people at the level they are currently at. For me, to be an RE Officer for everyone means striving to incorporate individual feedback - please do not hesitate to get in touch with any questions, suggestions or concerns.

Assalamu 'Alaykum! I’m Naima, and I will be the Politics Officer for this year inshaAllah.
In this role, I hope to encourage political discussion within the ISoc, focusing on the issues most relevant to us- as students in Oxford, but also as Muslims witnessing the struggles of our brothers and sisters globally. I hope to encourage political education amongst Muslims, and to empower Muslims to use our voices, in the way laid out to us by the Deen, and how to navigate the political systems we live in.

Assalamualaikum, I’m Ibrahim, a medic at Lincoln and I will be your access director for this year. My work focuses on bridging the gap between applying Muslim students and Oxford, demystifying the application process and showing that Oxford is a place we belong. As the access team, we run many events like offer holder days, school visits and the Muslim Access Conference. These all contribute to making Oxford less intimidating and applying more accessible, and at its core, highlighting that your faith can still be your priority when coming here.
I am more than happy to answer any questions you may have about applying or university life, so please free to get in contact. Additionally, if any students want to get involved with access work and volunteer, do let me know as there are many opportunities to do so.
"Do not let the people of virtue and affluence among you swear to suspend donations to their relatives, the needy, and the emigrants in the cause of Allah. Let them pardon and forgive. Do you not love to be forgiven by Allah? And Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful."

My name is Hibah and I'm a medical student at New College. As alumni officer, I'm involved in maintaining connections with those who have left us. Our alumni at Oxford, by the Grace of Allah, often go onto high-flying careers that put them in positions where they have so much to give back to our ISOC; my role is to support them in doing just that. On top of being their point of contact, bi'ithnillah, I'll be organising the annual alumni dinner, hosting socials and insha'Allah inviting some as guest speakers / careers advisors to inspire and guide current students.
"...And He is with you wherever you are; He sees all that you do."
