ABOUT US
YOUNG MUSLIM ACADEMY is a subsidiary of the Alfurqan Institute.
WHY THE LAUNCH OF THE YOUNG MUSLIM ACADEMY?
Muslim youngsters between the ages of 13 and 18 are facing a unique set of challenges that generations before did not experience. These challenges (social pressure and peer pressure , lack of Islamic education, access to many unIslamic material and activities) are overwhelming for the Muslim teenager.
Furthermore , a lot of High School students do not pursue an Islamic education in their teenage years. There are a number of reasons why this is the case, namely being preoccupied with a demanding secular education structure , extramural activities and also an erroneous assumption that they have received sufficient level of Islamic education during their younger years.
As a high school student they spend up to 8 hours a day in an environment built on Western and secular ideology, and generally , Muslim students would find themselves in the minority. Therefore , there is a need to inspire and nurture the young through leadership sessions , workshops about contemporary issues and Islamic knowledge that will ensure their Muslim Identity is safeguarded InshaAllah.
THE SOLUTION
The Youth Muslim Academy (YMA) will be offering a programme once a week on a Saturday morning. Muslim youth will receive the necessary education they need to produce capable Muslim adults. YMA aims to achieve this by addressing the aforementioned problems in the following ways :
Once a week
YMA will have a class once a week on a Saturday from 9am to 12pm. The weekly session will factor a weeks’ worth of content into a concise but beneficial class. Providing the content in a short but concentrated burst once a week will allow students to better absorb and put into practice what they have learnt.
Motivation and importance
The format of the lessons will include a unique activity that may or may not be directly related to the subject matter. These activities will take place between structured classes. The objective is to provide spacing between lessons to maintain high levels of student engagement with the subject matter. Examples may include competitive team-based activities, physical activities or group discussions/debates.
