Freshers
السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ
May the peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be with you
Welcome to the University of Cambridge and its Islamic Society! We pray that Allah (SWT) showers this next chapter of your life with happiness and blessings. Not only have you joined one of the best universities in the world, you’ve also found yourself in one of its largest and most exciting student societies! Our calendar covers a whole host of events which include charity events, talks from experts, and socials for you to enjoy. We hope you feel right at home here!
On this page you will find a message from our Student Affairs Officer along with our Freshers Handbook. We hope you find this useful Insha’Allah, and a reminder from everyone here at ISoc to place your trust in Allah (SWT) and be firm in your intentions whilst here at University. We hope you have an amazing year Insha’Allah, and as always if you need anything please do not hesitate to contact us!
“When My servants ask you (O Prophet) about Me: I am truly near. I respond to one’s prayer when they call upon Me. So let them respond (with obedience) to Me and believe in Me, perhaps they will be guided (to the Right Way).”
A Message from our Student Affairs Officer
Assalamu Alaikum,
I'm Syeda Ali, this year's Student Affairs Officer (SAO), and I will be one of the people helping out during Freshers' Week!
As SAO, I am responsible for organising Jummah, the maintenance of the prayer room, and the provision of welfare for the general society. So, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to send me an email at studentaffairs@isoc.co.uk. For more college-specific queries, please feel free to get into contact with the college reps.
Moving out for university can be challenging and nerve-wracking, however, ISoc is there to help you throughout this adjustment period. Keep an eye out for this year's Freshers' Fortnight term card; there'll be plenty of socials and spiritual events for you to attend to get to know other like-minded, Muslim freshers!
I very much look forward to meeting you all and welcoming you into our community, In Sha Allah!
