Ismail Akram
Emmanuel college
3rd Year Engineer
Assalaamu alaykum warahmatullahi wabarakaatu,
I'm Ismail and I'm a third-year engineer, which means that you'll often find me fixing people's bikes, staring absent-mindedly into space thinking about maths, or sitting it the prayer room, tapping my calculator. Alhamdulillah, university is an amazing time, with so many opportunities to learn, to contribute, to enjoy. Our aim as an isoc is to help you make the most of it, inshallah.
My role includes leading the Shura, and liasing with other societies and organisations. We're constantly striving to improve and excel and I'd love to hear your suggestions and comments, so please come to meet me or send me a message at ia273[@cam.ac.uk]
May Allah grant us ease and success in our time here and in the hereafter.

Assalam-alaikum, I’m Fatima and am privileged to be part of the ISOC shu’ra this year as the secretary. It’s my job to send out the week ahead emails detailing the events either ISOC organised as well as other societies that are taking place during the week, also the prayer times and any other shout outs that need to go out to the various mailing lists. Being a part of ISOC in any capacity gives you an opportunity to know inspiring people (speakers like Sh Abdal Hakim Murad as well as legendary Isocers), learn more about Islam and constantly trying to improve your character and Iman which is a humbling experience and I think is a very important part of why we come to university; to develop our character as well as the course we’re studying for. If you have any questions/suggestions/comments about ISOC or Medicine or University life or anything else, please feel free to ask away at fic20[@cam.ac.uk] and I’ll try my best to help or put you in touch with someone in a position to help. Before coming to Cambridge, I got in touch with ISOC and found it a very helpful and supportive experience. Wasalam.

Assalaam waalaykum warahmatullahi wabarakaatu,
My name is Kasim Vardalia and I am currently Events Officer for the Islamic Society and as my title subtly hints towards, I am in charge of events! I work with other members of the shura and with the events committee to ensure all ISoc events run as smoothly as possible and those attending gain as much benefit from them as possible, even if it just be munching on some free food.

Wassalaam.
Ex-Officio
Qamar Hussein
St Catherine's College
Assalamualaykum all. My name is Qamar and I am acting as 'ex-officio' on this year's Shura. What this means is that, having had experience as a Shura member last year and just in general with ISoc happenings the past three years of my time in Cambridge, I am (hopefully!) able to advise this new
committee on whatever issues come up that they may not be familiar with. I pray that I will be of benefit to them. I have been active in ISoc for three years now and I still cannot get enough of it! Have a browse on the website and see all of the fantastic things this wonderful society does! Or, get in touch - qh214[@cam.ac.uk]
