The Isoc Management Seminar was conceptualised to address the need for generally poor management and organisation within the London Islamic Societies. This inevitably lead to poor results and often a degree of frustration on the part of the Isoc Administration.
The Seminar was designed to encapsulate the main parts of managing an Islamic Society, from Leadership to Teamwork to different ways to give Dawah. There were a number of speakers including Shaykh Haitham Al Haddad, Abdur Raheem Green and others.
The Seminar took place in Dover at the Harbour Court Hotel. an extremely scenic location with the seafront a mere stone throw away from the hotel.
The feedback from the Seminar was extremely encouraging with many of the participants returning to their Islamic Societies and implementing some of the ideas which they had retained.

In January of 2006, London Isoc ran a Khateeb Training course. There were a great number of rationales behind the set-up of this event.
A common problem for the Islamic Societies, is finding suitable khateebs who are able to deliver the weekly khutbahs. There are a fixed number of duaat who are being regularly called for their services as a khateeb. What the Isocs have failed to realise and to capitalise on, is the great wealth of potential within their own society.
There are a number of Muslims in each Islamic Society who will be able to give a good effective khutbah. It is impractical to imagine based on what one knows about a person that he will not be a good khateeb. It is important that everyone who is willing to deliver a khutbah is given that opportunity.
When a person gives a khutbah for the first time, they will inevitably be nervous and will more often than not give a poor khutbah, but with increased opportunity and practice, they will bi-ithnillaah flourish into excellent khateebs. This was the main rationale behind the execution of this course.

If any organisation wishes to be effective, it is vital that they know who their target audience is. The London Isoc Shura is mainly composed of graduates who have a vast amount of experience on the Islamic Society scene.
This knowledge and experience however will naturally not apply to the ever so subtle changing trends within Islamic Societies and because of this, there needs to be direct communication between London Isoc and its clients.
Communication is achieved by two means. Firstly through the London Isoc Shura who are representatives for each university. The other medium is the Presidents Meeting which is held bi-annually, in April and October. This is where London Isoc and its clients engage in dialogue with London Isoc asking the universities what they need as well as London Isoc disseminating information which would be useful to the university societies.
As one can clearly see, this is an important event in the calendar and one which has been enforced upon the universities by written agreement. Our hope is to gain access to the minds of Muslim Students and tailor our programmes and services accordingly.

The London Isoc Development Programme is an annual event, where a small party of university students are taken abroad to gain a first hand appreciation of what is happening with the Muslims around the world. This need not necessarily be something bad, it may be a trip to see what activity programmes that there may be which are being run all over the world.
For the Development Trip in 2006, London Isoc decided to take a group of students to Pakistan to visit the Earthquake affected areas in Muzzafrabad and Balakot. The trip lasted for a total of a week and was held under the auspices of the Pakistani Government and one of the NGOs from Peshawar - Al Furqan Trust.
By the Grace of Allaah and the help of both parties, the participants were able to observe first hand the effects of the devastation left behind by the quake and the processes which have been initiated for rehabilitation.

The London Isoc Camp has been designed to be two days of activities. This is a rather more open camp for a range of students. It is purely meant to be a weekend of fun with an emphasis on FUN!
This year we took 28 students to Phaesel Woods Scout Camp where there were a variety of activities to participate in, such as: Football, Cricket, Archery, Climbing, Rifle Shooting, Abseiling, British Bulldog, Team Building Activities and much more besides.
The London Isoc Camp is an opportunity for brothers from different universities to come together, socialise and have a good time. We hope to see you there next year :-)

Freshers Fayre is the most important event in the calendar year. It is the time when the new university students are initiated onto the university scene.
The Freshers Fayre is a large stall area with many different organisations trying to entice students with their offers and promotions. The Islamic Society is one of the stalls present at the Fayre and they offer packs to new students both Muslim and Non-Muslim to raise awareness of the presence of the Islamic Society.
This is the first point of contact and so the first impression must be very good. With this in mind, London Isoc endeavours to develop student orientated packs which are full of useful material. London Isoc has been producing Freshers Packs for the last five years with the packs getting better each year.

In the first week of February of 2007, London Isoc ran a Khateeb Training course. This course was very similar to the one which took place the year before.
A common problem for the Islamic Societies, is finding suitable khateebs who are able to deliver the weekly khutbahs. There are a fixed number of duaat who are being regularly called for their services as a khateeb. What the Isocs have failed to realise and to capitalise on, is the great wealth of potential within their own society.

Alhamdulillah between the 25th and 28th of January 2008 London Isoc held its 3rd Annual Khateeb Course. The course was once again hosted by the Markfield Conference Centre in Markfield - and like previous years it received excellent feedback.
The course was attended by over 40 brothers from over 12 different universities. Lecture titles included the Importance of the Khutbah, The Fiqh of the Khutbah, Choosing Khutbah Topics and much more. The course provided participants with seminars and lectures that gave the theoretical aspects relating to the Khutbah and all participants were asked to use what they had learnt to prepare and deliver a 5 minutes Khutbah on which they received feedback.
Masha Allaah the brothers went back with a smile and insha Allaah with the tools and zeal to become future khateebs for their Isocs.

On October 7th 2001, American and British forces began an aerial bombing campaign on Afghanistan, targeting Taliban and Al-Qaeda forces. As a result of the bombings, at least 5,000 civilians were killed…
On January 11th 2002, Guantanamo Bay, a small island located at the south-eastern end of Cuba became home to hundreds of foreign nationals. Arriving in secret planes from locations all over the world, these individuals were left shackled for the entire journey, only to find that their reception on the Island would be far, far worse. Beaten, abused, tortured…daily occurrences at the detention facility, supposedly housing “the worst of the worst”...
On March 20th 2003, American and Allied troops began “Operation Iraqi Freedom”…an operation that has resulted in the death of at least 654,965 Iraqis.
Questions arise…has justice been served? Is the war any closer to an end? Can Guantanamo Bay ever be justified? Can the use of torture be considered an appropriate interrogation technique?
To answer some of these questions, London Isoc presented...Justice Week '08. A week long campaign for Justice, highlighting some of the key issues and plights around the world that have arisen as a result of the “War on Terror”.
Beginning at University College London (UCL) on Monday January 21st, Justice Week made it’s way around various university campuses across London in a bid to demonstrate a sense of unity amongst student organisations on these forgotten causes and to awaken the sleeping mass that is the student body.
Some of the issues covered included a discussion on Guantanamo Bay, the stark reality of secret detentions, the supposed threat of student radicalism, the alarming increase in the use of torture techniques and many, many more!
Each week, a variety of topics were presented to cover the many different aspects of the “War on Terror”, and more importantly, what WE can do to assist in the solution to some of the issues raised.
Justice Week ‘08 Details:
Week 1. University College London (UCL), 21st-25th January
Week 2. City University, 4th-8th February
Week 3. St. George’s University, 11th-15th February
Week 4. London School of Pharmacy, 18th-22nd February
Week 5. Queen Mary University, 25th-29th February
Week 6. London Metropolitan University, 3-7th March
Week 7. Kingston University, 10th-14th March

This year the London Isoc annual football tournament came with an exciting twist. London Isoc, FOSIS and ULU Isoc joined forces to bring you a football tournament you will never forget!
The top 3 teams are to go onto the national tournament where the top Islamic Societies in the country will battle it out to see who can take the accolade as the Best Footballing Isoc in the Country!
InshAllah this will be an excellent opportunity to meet brothers from Isocs across the Capital and will be a fantastic show of unity to have every single Isoc in London coming together, not just to play football, but to relax and meet for the sake of Allah (swt).
