The University of Leicester Islamic Society (ULISoc) aims to facilitate and serve the needs of Muslim students on campus; as well as fostering a better understanding of Islam to Muslims and non-Muslims alike. We provide an environment where Muslim students can practice their faith, cater for their spiritual and social needs, and encourage them to explore and understand Islam.

The ULISoc is very active throughout the year, hosting a variety of yearly events and talks. Here are some of the events we hold each year:

• Freshers’ Dinner
• Charity Week
• Socials
• Islam Awareness Week
• Regular Islamic Talks

Prayer facilities are available throughout the day for Muslims on campus. The prayer room is equipped with ablution facilities and a wide range of Islamic books for your benefit. Read on for directions to the prayer room. We have a separate prayer room for brothers and sisters.

Every week the ULISoc organises Jum’ah prayers. Details of where these would be held and times are communicated via e-mail, facebook and the website on a weekly basis.

• Islamic Classes:
  A series of classes on Usul-Ul-Deen (Foundations of Religion) going through basic Islamic principles, such as Iman, Tawheed, Kufr, Shirk and so on, an excellent chance to enhance your Islamic knowledge. Please note: due to teacher availability, these classes have not started yet. Please email secretary@ulisoc.com for more information on these.

• Tajweed Classes:
  A series of classes providing the students with the tools to improve their recitation of the Qur’an. Classes for brothers and sisters will be separate. Please note: due to teacher availability, this year tajweed classes will only be held for sisters. Please email secretary@ulisoc.com for more information on these.

• Sports
  ULISoc organises one/two sessions of sports per week for brothers. These take place in the Charles Wilson Sports Hall. Sports include indoor football for brothers and basketball for sisters (although these can be changed depending on popularity). Members will insha’allah be informed of the details of these via e-mail and Facebook. ULISoc members are also sometimes invited for extra sport events outside of the university. Please note: due to the relocation of sports facilities this year it has unfortunately not been possible to book the Sports Hall for sisters' sports. Basketball for sisters does take place at a local masjid, so please email secretary@ulisoc.com for more information about this.

ULISoc aims to organise an open meeting every year for all members to attend. These meetings provide an opportunity for members to give suggestions and feedback to the ISoc and also to get involved in the society. The contributions of the members are highly invaluable and so we encourage you to attend and take part in these meetings. 

Note: Notices for meetings and for other events will be put up in and around the prayer room area so keep an eye out for regular updates.
