# Campus Prayer Room - University of Southampton Islamic Society
The Campus Prayer Room serves as the spiritual and community hub for Muslim students at the University of Southampton's Highfield campus. Run by the Islamic Society (ISOC), this student-led organisation provides a welcoming space where Muslim undergraduates and postgraduates gather to pray, study, and build meaningful connections.
ISOC distinguishes itself through its inclusive approach to faith and community. Rather than being exclusive or judgmental, the society actively welcomes students at all stages of their Islamic journey—whether practising Muslims or those seeking to learn more about Islam. This openness extends beyond the Muslim community, with non-Muslim students encouraged to attend events and gain understanding of Islamic culture and practice.
The organisation runs a comprehensive annual calendar featuring prayer facilities with published timetables, the Tarbiyah Project (an educational Islamic studies initiative), regular social gatherings, talks, and classes. Their Instagram presence keeps the community engaged with upcoming events and announcements.
What sets them apart is their dual focus on both spiritual provision and social integration. They actively support freshers with dedicated induction programmes and freshers' week activities, helping new students settle into university life whilst building a supportive community. The prayer room functions as a communal space that extends beyond prayer into education, social bonding, and campus engagement. This holistic approach makes ISOC an essential support network for Muslim students navigating university life.
