This year's theme

This year’s theme explores humility as a core Islamic quality: recognising every blessing as a gift from Allah, submitting to His guidance, and removing arrogance from the heart. It teaches young people to show humility through their manners, speech, appearance and treatment of others, while understanding that true humility is not weakness, but strength, dignity and honour through exalting Allah above the self.

Youth Scheme sisters spending time together

TYS is a special community where I can meet new sisters and build relationships whilst also learning about the beauty of Islam.

It allows for me to develop a unique suhbah that I would not have had the opportunity to otherwise. The ustadah’s put energy and effort to make our experience as enjoyable as possible, making these two weeks memorable and the highlight of my holidays.

Every single moment was worth it.

TYS is always one of the highlights of my summer. It’s the perfect balance of Islamic study with engaging workshops and trips.

Over the 2 weeks, you have the opportunity to build lasting connections with likeminded people.

Young people taking part in the Youth Scheme

I personally was very happy with how the scheme was run. It was the first time for my son to take part.

I will insha’Allah send him again in the future.

Youth Scheme participants building friendships

TYS has had a positive impact on my faith and personal growth.

It helped me build meaningful friendships, strengthen my connection to the mosque, and deepen my understanding of Islam. I am truly grateful for the support, guidance, and community it has provided.

Attending the youth scheme has provided me with the tarbiyyah needed to strengthen my character and faith.

Receiving a balance of Islamic sessions, fun activities, and interactive workshops has enabled me to develop a deeper understanding of my religion while building confidence, teamwork, leadership skills, and lasting friendships.

Youth Scheme sisters enjoying the programme together

TYS is a one of a kind experience and what made it so fun and enjoyable to return every year are the amazing staff.

They really go out of their way to give us the best experience and show and model for us the beauty of Islam. The suhbah and sisterhood is just unmatched.

The topic was beautiful. My children loved it.

They found the teachers very respectful and relatable. The young brothers were very knowledgeable, masha’Allah.
