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 Alaykum,
I’m Abrar Hassan, this year’s Student Affairs Officer who will be handling Fresher’s Fair alongside our Socials Officer. My role involves managing Jummua prayers, the Prayer Room and the general welfare of the society, so please reach out if you have any concerns whatsoever. My email is studentaffairs@isoc.co.uk.
Moving away from home to university can be difficult and so ISoc is here to help ease this transition through our Freshers fortnight. This fortnight includes a multitude of socials, welfare and spiritual events to help curb the initial anxiety you may feel through connecting with other Muslim Freshers. For college-related matters, you can reach out to your College Reps.
I look forward to meeting you all very soon Insha’Allah!
