Welcome to GUMSA
السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
Peace be upon you, and the mercy and blessings of Allah
Welcome to the Glasgow University Muslim Students Association. Since its inception 56 years ago, GUMSA has maintained its status as one of the most influential student societies in the UK. Our aim is to improve Muslim student life on campus in all aspects. We do this through organising various events such as dinners, talks and social events.
As the voice for Islam on campus, it is our responsibility to ensure we fulfill the needs of Muslim students. Whether that be academic, social or spiritual, we serve as the bridge between the University and its large Muslim population. We do this through our dedicated, hard-working and open Executive Committee. This year our calendar will once again be full of events and initiatives to make your years here some of the best in your life.
As our community continues to grow, I would like to personally extend a warm welcome to our new students. To anyone hesitant to join, there is always someone or something to make you feel at home in GUMSA. Don’t be afraid to have fun! To our older members, I hope you will continue to mentor and guide those around you.
I look forward to meeting you all soon. By the will of Allah, may you benefit from our effort over this next year.
Jazakum Allahu Khairan,

Palestine
GUMSA expresses its unwavering solidarity with the Palestinian people, and unequivocally condemns the use of violence against all civilians,.
For nearly a century, the Israeli state has been in contravention of international law through its horrific crimes of Apartheid and mistreatment of the Palestinians.
We have seen continual acts of atrocity, violence and brutality on the Palestinian people, as the unlawful occupation and bombardment of their homeland persists.
As Muslims, it is our duty to stand against all manifestations of oppression and injustice - the oppressor is NEVER equal to the oppressed.
We refuse to accept the media's distorted portrayal of what is happening, and we will stand steadfast with the Palestinians, knowing that we are on the right side of history.
