Annual General Meeting 2023: Report from the Youth Hubb KMWA youth Coordinator at Gillingham Mosque

Youth Hubb runs from 6:30 till about 9pm every Saturday in Gillingham Masjid.     We focus on youths from about 15 years old to 25-year-olds. We find that this age range are the most neglected but yet most impressionable. As once they leave madrassa, their connection to the mosque reduces drastically, and so can drift to where their environment takes them. 

Our aims of the Youth Hubb is to instil. 

• Brotherhood 

• love for the mosque 

• Discipline 

• A positive experience to attach their hearts to the mosque. 

• An Islamic environment 

• A support structure as they transition from young adult to maturity. 

We have been doing this though short Islamic reminders by Imam Irfan, we have 3 a side football, table tennis, boxing training from experienced trainers, interactive games and at the end of the evening we sit down and eat pizza together, and a special treat once a month we have some amazing home cooked food.    

I encourage everyone with sons from 15 to 25 year old to spend more time with Muslims of their age.
