About us
Where you'll findyour people in Oslo.
MSS started in 1995, when a few students wanted a place on campus to pray and meet. Thirty years on, we are still at the University of Oslo.
We run a weekly Quran halaqa for sisters and a library, Al-Maktabah, free for members. Through the year there is the Scandinavian Quran Competition, Ramadan iftars, socials and cabin trips.
First week in Oslo or final year, you are welcome.
وَتَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْبِرِّ وَالتَّقْوَىٰ
«And cooperate in righteousness and piety.»
An open letter
A letter from us to you.
السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته،
Your first weeks on campus can feel like a lot, with new faces everywhere.
It's exciting and a bit daunting, more so as a young Muslim who doesn't always fit in.
Muslimsk Studentsamfunn (MSS) exists so Muslim students in Oslo have a place to meet and belong.
We work with the university and mosques around Oslo, so you always have somewhere to feel at home.
Come find us at our events, at the Jumu'ah we host, in the prayer room or by the fountain.
And look forward to Ramadan. It might not beat your mum's cooking or family iftars, but our community iftars, with lectures, activities, and amazing food, are a pretty good runner-up.
Our door is open. We hope to meet you soon, in shaa' Allah.
What we do
Where to start.
Most people come for the company first: cabin trips, iftars, football, a room where you are not the only Muslim.

The board · Since 1995
We came to this university and were met with the best community we could have asked for. All we are doing now is passing that welcome on to the students arriving after us.
