Islamic Society

What do we do?

Our main aim is to create a unified community catering to all the needs of Muslim students while encouraging learning about Islam in the wider community. To achieve the aim, our objectives are following:

a. To strive to uphold the teachings of the Qur’an and Sunnah;

b. To facilitate a suitable place of worship where Muslim4 students, staff, Full Members, Associate Members, and non-Members can offer their five daily prayers

(Salaah);

c. To organise and hold the Friday congregational prayer (Jumu’ah);

d. To make suitable arrangements for Ramadan

e. To make suitable arrangements for the two holy festivals of Islam – Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid-ul-Adha;

f. To strengthen the unity of Muslims in ISoc (as well as at the University of Sussex and in the local area of Brighton & Hove) and cater for their general wellbeing, via regular sporting and social events;

g. To promote and facilitate the educating of our members about Islam via regular talks, workshops, and education circles;

h. To promote and facilitate both understanding and dialogue between Muslims and non-Muslims via outreach, events (both independent and joint), an “Islamic Awareness Week” event, and participating at Students’ Union events;

i. To encourage and facilitate the involvement of members in the organisation and running of the society.
