About us 

Welcome to RHUL ISOC! Our Islamic Society exists to unify muslims and non-muslims, students and staff, and all members of our local community. 

We aim to support muslim students on campus throughout their journey adjusting to university life, whether that be study support, a boost of your deen, or even just some enganging conversation.

Our ISOC can't be introduced without mentioning the RHUL ISOC Prayer Room. A tranquil place for prayer, Quran recitation, and many intellectual discussions. You can always pop in if you're in need of a friendly face. 

This community would not be possible without our hard-working committee members and close relationship with the Chaplaincy of RHUL. We thank everyone involved in helping with events and logistical matters. 

We welcome you to our ISOC muslim or non-muslim and we hope to see you at our future events! If you have any concerns or enquiries drop an email to us via the 'Contact Us' page.

"The believers are but one brotherhood, so make peace between your brothers. And be mindful of Allah so you may be shown mercy." 49:10

It is reported that a man came to Ali – May Allah be pleased with him – and asked, “What do you think about a man who committed a sin?” He replied, “He must seek Allah’s forgiveness and repent to Him.” The man said, “He did that, but then sinned again?” Ali (ra) said, “He must seek Allah’s forgiveness and repent to Him.” The man again said, “He did that, but returned to sin.” Ali (ra) said, “He must seek Allah’s forgiveness and repent to Him.” The man said for the fourth time, “He did, but then sinned again?” Ali (ra) then said, “Until when?” Then he said, “He must seek Allah’s forgiveness and repent to Him; and not give up until it is Shaytaan who is defeated overcome.”
