Lads get lonely?

How bonds of brotherhood can build us to be better

It is a little hard figuring out who you can rely on in uni.

Thrust into a space where the friends you’ve relied on for so long are no longer passing you in the corridor.

It’s a little hard to notice at first.

You’ve accepted that you’ll just have less friends now.

But does that have to be the case?

We asked some ancient uni students from our own MSA shura, and they answered:

Is it even important to have a muslim brother in your class - aren’t non-muslim friends enough?

A lot of new brothers think that showing their Islam to others would make then feel isolated - is there some truth to that?

Have you ever needed to explain your Islam to others at uni? How do you do that?

Why do you think loneliness is so prevalent amongst brothers in university?

What do you think is the importance of being close to or even knowing a Muslim brother in uni?

What has the MSA done for you in terms of brotherhood?
