'If anyone saved one life it would be as if he saved the whole of mankind’ (Qur’an)
The Oxford Brookes University Islamic Society is committed to raising money for charity. We support the efforts of many UK Muslim Charities and take every opportunity to work alongside them.
The ISOC aims to create more awareness of disasters/calamites that are inflicting our brothers and sisters across the globe. We want to be seen as the first to first to react to these events by finding new ways to raise money.
The ISOC tries hard to encourage brothers and sisters on campus to donate to worthy causes. In each Prayer Room, you will find a colourful charity box. We aim to support various different causes throughout the Semester so feel free to make a contribution. Every penny will go to the cause.
