Are you concerned about your teenage son or daughter’s future as a Muslim?

Reviews from parents and students

Testimonials?

We can say with 100% confidence that enrolling our sons in the Youth Mentoring Program (YMP) has been the best decision we’ve made. It has given us peace of mind knowing that they have a trusted, knowledgeable Sheikh to turn to for all of their questions related to Deen and to be in a class where the Sheikh develops a strong love and understanding of Islam. Sheikh Shams dives deeply into questions that may cause doubt about Islam. He thoroughly understands the Western thoughts and ideas influencing our young children. He teaches them to think critically and provides clear explanations with regards to Islam’s position on ideas and issues that they come across. He also ensures that they know everything needed to practice Islam correctly, by assessing their weak areas of knowledge and assigning further study in those areas. Our sons are more confident and comfortable with their faith since joining the YMP. We feel so strongly about this program that we remove them from their regular school class in order to attend, due to the time difference for us here in the U.S. We recommend the Youth Mentoring Program for every teenager to strengthen their bond with Islam and to have a knowledgeable mentor guiding them during their vulnerable years.
