Welcome to the AUMSA website!

Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh (Peace on you)!

The AUMSA team would like to welcome all of this year’s freshers and returning students to Aberdeen. Congratulations!

AUMSA is THE society for both Muslims and non-Muslims studying at the University of Aberdeen or Robert Gordon University. Our goal is to bring together people from all walks of life and unite them in a common cause: to gain the pleasure of Allah (swt). In the Qur'an, Allah (swt) states "Help one another in Al-Birr and At-Taqwa (virtue, righteousness and piety)." [5:2, The Holy Qur'an]. We aim to achieve just this: whether it is through lectures, study circles or the Islam Awareness Week. Our dinner parties and quiz nights are also a great opportunity to make new friends and meet like-minded people. At AUMSA we are dedicated to charity. As reported in Hadith, "Indeed Allah accepts the charity amd takes it by His own hand and makes it grow like one of you make grow your colt (little horse).  Surely a morsal becomes like the mountain of Uhud." [al-Tirmidhi]  So why not come along to one of our fundraising events during the year and help us help those who need it.

We have lots of exciting events planned for you guys this year and we look forward to meeting you at our events. Please come and introduce yourself at the freshers fayre and get your membership. If you have any questions or need any advice, please don't hesitate to ask. Our email address is This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. . Similarly we welcome any suggestions for the society. This is our society; let’s make it a success together.

Our beloved Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is reported to have said, "Whosoever follows a path to seek knowledge therein, Allah will make easy for him a path to Paradise." [Muslim] I pray Allah (swt.) helps you gain the most from your time in Aberdeen and may He grant you success in the years ahead & the Hereafter. Ameen. Remember: work hard, pray harder!

Walikum- Asalaam,

AUMSA Team
