Engaging the Muslim Youth
Administrator on May 13th, 2010
The Mosques and Imams National Advisory Board (MINAB) consists of four umbrella organizations, namely the British Muslim Forum, the Muslim Council of Britain, the Muslim Association of Britain and the Al Khoei Foundation. The MINAB is a community-conceived and community-led initiative. It aims to facilitate good governance in mosques and improve the standards of services provided therein through a system of self- regulation.
The MINAB has a number of committees working on various projects. The MINAB Youth Committee is concerned with engaging the Youth in mosques. The Youth Committee believes in the contribution that all young people can make to the vibrancy of any community. The aim is to unlock the potential and listen to the voice of the youth: “hear them say”. With this in mind, the MINAB Youth Committee is organizing a number of workshops up and down the country to engage the Muslim youth in mosques.
These workshops will consist of talks about the role of the youth in Islam, the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) as a role model for the youth, discussions around “My ideal mosque” and “my ideal event” and role plays.
The Chair of the MINAB Youth Committee, Qari Asim, said that “the MINAB Youth Committee seeks to empower young Muslims across the country and facilitate their engagement in mosques. Youngsters are the future of our community and it is imperative to the future success of our mosques that we engage with them to make mosques more accessible to them.”
The following workshops are taking place on Sunday 16 May 2010 in Leeds and Blackburn
Leeds Workshop Time - 10:30am -2:30pm
Blackburn Workshop Time – 2:30-8:00
The MINAB will urge its members to take this opportunity and hold these workshops in their mosques and madrasahs for youngsters. For further details, please contact: info@minab.org.uk or mail@makkahmasjid.co.uk
These Workshops will develop leadership pootential and enhance management and team working skills.
