Looking forward to work together with the team and fellow coaches for this year's Alkhaadem youth camp!
Beyond the exciting challenges towards character building and leadership development, I'm particularly excited and passionate about this year's theme - Arrival: The Battle Continues. How we can prepare ourselves for the coming of Dajjal - the Antichrist - towards the end of time as the Major Signs of the Day of Judgment appear.
It's a theme reminding us to step up to confront the brutal facts: The Dajjal - and subsequently, the End of Times - will be coming, whether we like it or not.
Whether we choose to accept or ignore it, it's going to happen. So the most important question we need to ask ourselves is the question that the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ asked his companion, and subsequently to you and me:
وَمَاذَا أَعْدَدْتَ لَهَا ؟
"what have you prepared for it?"
this year's camp theme of "Arrival" opens up an opportunity to clarify misconceptions and doubts related to the End of Times which are subject to so much false tales and conspiracies: the Messiah, the Mahdi, the second coming of Jesus, ya'juj and majuj - and how we can take these lessons to apply the deceptions of Dajjal as practical lessons in every daily life, today in the 21st century: how to equip our youth with the maturity to see through the lies around us. How to instill the courage to make the tough decisions to stick to your principles - even though material circumstances are forcing us to making poor decisions out of desparation?
How to put our trust in Allah when situation seems dire and hopeless?
Man, getting goosebumps!
See you there in Ipoh insha Allah - looking forward to meet and collaborate with the awesome team at AKYC2024... Let's gooo! 🔥💪🏽
