Young Muslim Association – Launch Conference
Administrator on July 29th, 2009
Youth are the future of nay community. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) has said: “The greatness of the worshipper of Allah who worships Allah while in the stage of his youth over the old person who worships [Allah] after he has become of old is like the greatness of the deputed ones [the Prophets and Messengers] over all other creations.”( Kanzul `Ummāl, Hadīth 43059)
One of Makkah Masjid’s key objectives is to engage with young Muslims and empower them so that they can take responsibility for self-development and developing their community. To promote spiritual, moral, social and inter-faith development a wide variety of programmes are organised by Leeds Makkah Masjid.
Imam Qari Asim of Makkah Masjid also advises a number of mosques and organisations in the UK in respect of Muslim youth development. Qari Asim has been involved in setting up a national youth network. Makkah Masjid is therefore pleased to invite the Muslim youth to the launch of a national youth organisation: Young Muslim Association on 8-9 August 2009.
The conference will be held at Blckwell Court, Bromsgrove on Saturday 8-9 August 2009.
