A National Campaign to Share Islam on Campus
DIW envisions campuses across the UK where Islam is better understood, misconceptions are challenged, and students feel welcomed to explore or deepen their relationship with the faith.
More resources coming soon.
Discover Islam Week is an annual campaign run by Islamic Societies across the country, taking place once a year between January and March (with each ISoc choosing the exact week that works best for them). During this week, ISocs deliver a series of dawah events and initiatives - such as talks, exhibitions, stalls, and interactive activities, designed to share Islam’s core teachings and values with the wider campus community.
FOSIS is here to support your ISoc in making Discover Islam Week as impactful and successful as possible. We can help by:
Arranging Dawah Training: In partnership with iERA, we can organise training sessions so your committee feels confident in giving dawah.
Running a DIW Briefing: A few months before DIW, we’ll host a national briefing to discuss ideas, motivate teams, and share resources to help you prepare.
Offering 1:1 Support: Our team is available to answer your questions and provide personalised guidance to help you run your campaign smoothly from the beginning to the end.
Connecting you with Speakers: We maintain a DIW speaker list and can book knowledgeable dawah speakers to visit your campus and deliver talks.
To make running DIW easier, we’ve gathered resources that your ISoc can access directly:
Free Dawah Materials: Order Qur’ans, leaflets, and other resources to give out on campus.
iERA Training: Access more dawah resources and guidance on the iERA website, as well as access to their free online Dawah Training course.
We are compiling a showcase of successful and creative DIW events run by other ISocs. This section will provide real-world inspiration and best practices for your campaign. More to showcase soon!
We are setting up a form for ISocs to register their interest in running a DIW campaign and to access FOSIS support. This will be available soon!
