About

AbSoc promotes interfaith dialogue and unity regardless of gender, class, religion, creed or any other superficial factor that divides our common humanity.

Story

ABSOC is a society which aims to promote all the fundamental ideals we strive for as human beings. By taking the prophet of Islam, Muhammad (PBUH) and his family, known as the Ahlulbayt, as examples and constant reminders, we hope to live our lives to the fullest and reach our maximum potential. This means seeking to perfect ourselves in a holistic sense, with regards to all aspects of our lives. From seeking knowledge in order to boost ourselves on an intellectual level, having positive interactions with others on a moral and social level, constantly striving for the truth, remaining selfless, and through doing all these, connecting with God Spiritually.

So what’s the catch?

There is none. We are an Islamic society and NO we don’t want to convert you. (We Promise)

Muhammad (PBUH) says “There are as many paths to God as there are human breaths”. We want to promote good and welcome anyone who wishes to do the same.

It doesn’t matter if you are Christian, Jewish, Muslim or Hindu. Nor does it matter if you are black, white or green. We only care that you selflessly love those around you, and, in that, what better an example than the Prophet’s Family.

Our vision is a world inspired by the family of Prophet Muhammad PBUH: their morals, their actions and moreover their compassion for those around them, regardless of gender, class, religion, creed or any other superficial factor that divides our common humanity.
