Youth Of the Ummah

Instilling ambition, productivity with strong bonds of brotherhood in the future of the ummah!

Assalaamu 'alaykum,

Welcome to YOU

Youth Of the Ummah (YOU) is a youth initiative driven to inspire the youth to become productive and ambitious Muslims together in brotherhood under the obedience of Allah and his messenger Muhammed (peace be upon him).

High Ambitions

Great people have big and high ambitions. We work and aim towards making the youth highly ambitious to do great things; not only to better their own lives but all those around them too.

Productivity

Time is a massive blessing of Allah. Once it's gone it's gone. We try to instill a high level of importance towards value of time and using it in the most productive way.

Brotherhood

We all need support and a good network of likeminded friends to help us through life and achieve great things.Through our programs and events, this is what we try to build.

Obedience of Allah

"Whoever seeks Allah's pleasure by the people's wrath, Allah will suffice him from the people..." - Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2414.

Obedience of Muhammed (peace be upon him)

The purest of man. The best of men. The chosen one. There is no way better than his way. There is no role model as perfect as he is. Peace be upon him.

What we are doing

We currently run and organise monthly youth events in two masajid (Mimbar Academy and Roman Road masjid). In these events, we try to create a really fun atmosphere in a safe and spiritual environment. The events are full of team activities orchestrated to build strong bonds of brotherhood and inspire good conduct therein. We inject short bursts of crash learning between the activities so the youth not only have fun, but learn essential things about their faith. Overall, through these events, we want to give our youth a taste of the sweetness of faith and empower them with an enthusiasm that makes them and our community greater.

We have been running these events since October 2021 and we can slowly see the youth coming together with good motives and enthusiasm to progress as model Muslims for society.

What we want to and plan to do

On the back of instilling enthusiasm and passion for personal development and the faith in general, from July 2022, we plan to start holding weekly circles to cover in detail some of the topics we touch upon in the events such as fundamentals of faith and personal development. Alongside that, a lot of interest and requests have come through to organise football sessions for which we plan to hire out pitches for weekly or fortnightly sessions. Residentials are also being planned for the summer and possibly the winter of 2022.

All of the above are efforts to grow and improve the youth as a community and strengthen the bonds therein. But we understand that for complete progression we need to give attention to the youth on an individual basis. This would be to see how YOU can help them hurdle over any issues they may be facing and may find hard to address or simply provide them guidance on something they are inexperienced in. For this we are working towards putting together a mentoring system for our youth.

Our Aims

Why do we need your help?

YOU is run by volunteers and currently has no method of funding. To fulfil our plans above, we require your support

We are fortunate to have been provided a space to carry out our monthly events in local masajid, however we may need to hire out halls for some of the activities the youth want to engage in.
We are currently working to support two masajid in Bow, Tower Hamlets. Monthly events in each masjid costs up to £150. Donations will go to supporting in these running costs.
Members from other masajid have requested to run and organise events in their masajid too. Sadly, we are unable to support them at the moment, due to lack of funds and resources.
To cover costs for hiring football pitches for weekly or fortnightly football
Residential trips – for the summer. Ideally, we want enough funds to be able to take the youth with costs all paid for.
