Islamic Ministry
UDM welcomes our Muslim students
±«Óãtv's University Ministry serves and celebrates our Muslim students through Islamic Ministry, led by Muslim Chaplain Oussama Ajerd, including the Islamic Prayer Space on McNichols Campus.
Spiritual
Creating spaces that strengthen our relationship with Allah through worship, reflection and meaningful conversation. From Jumu‘ah prayers and iftars to spiritual discussions and interfaith engagement, these programs nurture faith and community.
Social
Fostering a strong sense of community, belonging and authentic connection among Muslim students. Through welcome lunches, post-Jumu‘ah socials, end-of-year celebrations and other gatherings, students are encouraged to build meaningful friendships and a sense of brotherhood and sisterhood while feeling at home on campus.
Service & Justice
Living out Islamic values through service, compassion and advocacy. Through volunteering, charity initiatives and justice-centered programs, students are encouraged to give back to both local and global communities.
Educational
Promoting learning, dialogue, and awareness through programs that explore Islamic traditions, identity and contemporary issues. Events such as World Hijab Day, poetry nights, special speakers and cultural programs aim to educate and inspire the broader campus community.
Located on the first floor of the Student Union, UDM's Islamic Prayer Space is available for students to use around the clock. Stop by the University Ministry office to request access to this space.
