ISOC Masjid (Eastern Suburbs Mosque)

Since its establishment in 1969, the Islamic Society (ISOC) has been entrusted by the University of New South Wales as the official Muslim student association (MSA) to provide services and facilities for the Muslim community. Under the virtues of “Faith, Unity, Peace”, ISOC provides not only for the students and staff members, but also locals residing within the Eastern Suburbs and beyond. The community at ISOC is very diverse with an ethical demographic made up of cultures from all corners of the world and it is here at ISOC that many of our members have discovered and benefitted from the cross-cultural friendships that they have built and continued to treasure.

Currently, our permanent facilities on campus include event and prayer rooms and ablution facilities. Larger congregations like the Friday Jummah prayers take place weekly in a dedicated indoor sports hall at the university gymnasium while the Eid prayers take place in a nearby event space to accommodate the large crowds.

Ramadan is here and we need your help to complete the mosque constraction.

“Whoever builds a mosque for Allah, Allah will build for him likewise in Paradise”
[Sahih Bukhari, Muslim]

However, with a steadily increasing Muslim population in the Eastern Suburbs (mashaAllah!), we have often found it difficult to accommodate. Thus, we have taken it upon ourselves to help cater to the needs of the community by building the first mosque in the Eastern Suburbs — and we cannot do it without YOU!

To date, we have managed to secure a property at the price of 1.8 million dollars and have raised over 1.2 million dollars in a campaign that has been running over the past several years since the intention has been made. We have to pay off the remaining sum of $450,000.

The Mosque will not only help the Muslims of today but also Muslims of the future who pray there and YOU will get the reward for it insyaAllah. So please, brothers and sisters, give what you can. We are SO CLOSE to achieving our goal and YOU can help us get there! May Allah accept your goodwill and charity and increase you abundantly!
