Our Services
At Western Philippines University Muslim Affairs, we offer a range of services designed to support the spiritual, cultural, and academic needs of our Muslim community. Our services aim to foster inclusivity, promote Islamic values, and ensure that the unique requirements of Muslim students, faculty, and staff are met.
Prayer Spaces
We provide dedicated prayer rooms on campus to ensure Muslim students, faculty, and staff have access to peaceful and comfortable spaces for daily prayers (Salah). These prayer rooms are accessible throughout the day, aligning with the university’s commitment to accommodating religious practices.
Halal Food Options
Our campus is equipped with halal food options, ensuring that students and staff can enjoy meals that adhere to Islamic dietary guidelines. We collaborate with local halal-certified suppliers to maintain high standards of food quality and compliance with halal requirements.
Islamic Holidays and Practices
We respect and facilitate the observance of significant Islamic holidays, including Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr. During Ramadan, we provide special support services such as Iftar (breaking of fast) arrangements and Taraweeh prayers. We also organize community events for the Eid al-Adha (Qurban) celebration.
Islamic Guidance and Counseling
Our team offers guidance and counseling services for students and staff who seek religious or spiritual advice, ensuring a well-rounded support system for personal and academic well-being. Whether you are facing academic challenges or personal struggles, our counselors are here to provide help rooted in Islamic values.
Halal Research and Certification Support
Through the University Halal Research Center, we conduct research on various aspects of halal standards, including food production, Islamic finance, and halal certification. We also offer consultancy services to industries and organizations seeking halal certification or looking to comply with halal standards.
Workshops and Educational Programs
We organize workshops, seminars, and training programs that promote awareness of Islamic teachings, halal standards, and socio-economic development. These programs are open to students, staff, and the broader community, aiming to foster continuous learning and engagement.
Community Engagement and Outreach

We encourage students to participate in outreach initiatives that strengthen ties between the university and local communities.
