President

2nd Year Medic
Assalamualaikum, my name is Mirina and I’m the President of the Cambridge University ISoc. My role is to manage the day to day organisation of the society and make sure everything is running smoothly. I aim to represent the society’s members and try to make sure we are achieving our aims and objectives and finding ways to improve. I work closely with the Vice President and other Shura members to organise ISoc activities and liaise with different societies and organisations. Outside of ISoc I’m busy being a medic and do my best to engage myself in other leisurely pursuits. I encourage you all to get involved with the ISoc - there are so many different things to be a part of (check out the subcommittee pages) so you’ll never be short of stuff to do whilst in Cambridge.
If you have any ideas/queries then feel free to get in touch on mp520 [@cam.ac.uk].

My duties include organising arguably the most essential weekly occurrence at ISoc, Salat Al Jumma' (Friday Prayers). I have set up weekly brother-led circles, which have been very successful thus far. Also, I work closely with the brother's social reps to arrange events that bring brothers together throughout the year. Everyone at ISoc works hard to create an environment whereby we can all learn and benefit from one another, the student community and the wider community. May Allah aid us with our endeavours and guide us throughout.

Assalaamu alaikum; my role is to support the work Brother Mohamed does to represent the brothers as well as contribute to the many endeavours that the ISoc pursues. Unfortunately I don't have a 'fro though.
In particular, I have been involved with Sponsorship for a time, as well as Access (something which I do for the university admissions office too). Any questions on the applications procedure, interviews, life at cambridge etc. do get into contact [ This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ]. We're fortunate to serve such a vibrant and active ISoc; Cambridge is a whirlwind of diverse challenges and experiences and the ISoc plays an invaluable role in making that journey that much more manageable, memorable and spiritually fulfilling. Alhumdulillah.
Secretary
Sabiha Ahmed
Newnham College
2nd year Theologian
Assalamualaikum waRahmatullah! I’m a second year Theologian at Newnham College. I’m also the secretary of the Islamic Society. My job here involves filling up Isocer inboxes with the infamous Week Ahead as well as info to make sure everyone’s up to date with what’s going on; it also involves lots of other tedious organising and arranging of things. If you want to know what all this is really about I'd say that basically, university is an amazing time where education and experience helps you to 'find yourself', and with the right friends it can be the time of your life - Cambridge ISoc helps to make it all a reality, we're really just a bunch working together to learn, experience, discover and enjoy it all at the same time :). Really, get in touch on sa516[@cam.ac.uk], get active, get involved... you won't regret it.

My name is Hammad, and I'm a 4th year medic at Jesus College. Previously I have been the treasurer and then the president of this Islamic Society. This year my position on the shura committee is as a "general advisor", a term which took much thought and deliberation to come up with. As the position suggests, I advise. Generally.
