Ahlul-Bayt Society – Sydney University

For decades, the Ahlul-Bayt Society (ABSoc) has been a haven for Shia students across 150+ campuses in the UK, US, Canada and Australia, driven by the intellectual and spiritual legacy of the Prophet’s Household (peace be upon them). ABSoc is a community dedicated to preserving and practicing the teachings and values of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and his family at Usyd. We are a community where students can connect with their Shia identity with like-minded peers.

We host regular social events, informal discussions, guest talks, charitable projects, collaborations with other ABSocs, interfaith dialogues and commemorations of major events on the Shia calendar.

ABSoc supports our students in their education throughout the religious year with special considerations applications and mentorship programs.

The society emphasises the importance of the Ahlul-Bayt’s moral and theological insights, encouraging engagement through educational programs and study circles that explore classical Islamic texts and contemporary issues. Spiritual growth is central, promoting a deeper relationship with God through worship, reflection, and charity, following the Ahlul-Bayt’s example. We uphold the tradition of justice with political dialogue, leadership training and media experience.

Join us as we celebrate our 10 year anniversary at the University of Sydney!
