Lead Yourself & the World Will Follow: Youth Initiative
Fartun Abukar
Wow! What a class? What a program? In this world you have to be built in two ways: mentally and physically. In this program, we are learning a lot of things that enhance our mental and physical of how both Islamic ally and ethnically to talk, dress, walk, sit, stand, eat, respect, and many more. You might think it’s very simple or natural things to do but trust me we still have to learn all these things in a proper way.
As the name of this program says Lead Yourself & the World Will Follow, First you have to educate yourself and then you can serve others. In my dugsi, Salahudin Dugsi, I learned that Good individual creates better family, better family creates Great community, Great community creates Excellent society. But nowadays it seems like people are going and running after the world without preparation for both this world and after as well. This program encourages us so much as youth. Because it’s where we need, to discuss our religion and the questions we have. Every Friday all of us that take the class are very interest and we cannot even wait to for the next Friday because we learn what we need, we learn what can benefit us in this world and after. Either ways we are going to leave this world, so we need to put something for our akhira and leave something for people and the world behind us.
Thus, participating those kinds of program will serve us and others and prepare both out worlds. In This program, once a month we do a service project, where we serve from seniors’, to cleaning Mosques, to visiting sick once, to tutoring youngs, you name it, an endless help. We are learning how we can help Allah’s creation. It is very hard to find this kind of program where you will be built both mentally and physically. Everything has basic levels. If your basics are strong and built and then you can try to figure out the next things to do, this class teaches us basic to higher level. It is like learning every life aspects from A to Z. We, students benefited a lot from this program. This program is really what EVERY YOUTH NEEDS. I encourage every youth out there to come and participate in this program. There is a hadith says that what you love for yourself, love for your brothers and sisters. So I want MY BROTHERS and SISTERS out there to be part of this kind of program
