About YMUK

The Young Muslims UK (YMUK) is a dynamic and innovative youth organisation spanning the width and breadth of the UK. With branches in nearly all the major cities and members all over the country, YMUK is a leading force in encouraging positive contributions to British society through the development of a British Islam. Our main focus is to keep the Muslim Youth active by helping those in need, whoever they may be.

Established in the UK in 1984, YMUK has an outstanding track record in providing Islamic Education to youngsters. The Young Muslims iCircle Syllabus is the next step in providing Islamic Education to TODAY’S 11-16 year olds, using an approach which is appropriate to the society in which we live in today.

The circles provide interactive teaching methods which the youth of today are used to, and aim to allow the attendees to engage in the learning process through carefully planned workshops.

Throughout the course of the iCircle, attendees are taught a syllabus which teaches them how to practice Islam on a day to day basis, as well as how to engage with the wider society around them. The iCircle aims to produce the next generation of Muslim Leaders and Role Models. Some of the topics which are taught include: Character & Manners, Love for Parents, Procrastination, Tahara (Spiritual Purity), Death & The Grave, Signs before the Day of Judgement, The Day of Judgement, Heaven & Hell, The Messengers (peace be upon them all), The Angels, The Books of Allah swt and Pre-destination.

All of our lead mentors are DBS checked and have been involved in working with the youth for a minimum of 5 years. They range from various Sunni Islamic backgrounds, and help us to achieve our aim to focus on areas which provide a sound understanding of the basics of Islam, and to instil tolerance in areas where there are minor differences of opinion.

The circles cover Islamic Etiquette and Manners, Basic Islamic Beliefs, Seerah (Life of the Prophet (PBUH), Games, and Occasional for outdoor events and programmes.

We aim to have Qiyam-Ul-Layl programmes at least twice a year. These usually take place in Mosques and community centres Birmingham. Consent forms are also required to attend these type of events.

The Family Circles occur once every 6 Months, to which all family members – babies to grandparents are invited! These circles also include food and an address by speakers from across the UK.

Shaddad bin Aws narrated that the Prophet (Peace be upon him) said: “The intelligent one is the one who holds himself responsible and works for what is after death. And the incompetent one is the one who indulges himself in pursuit of personal desire and importunes God” -Tirmidhi 2459

Umar bin al-Khattāb heard the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) saying: “If you really trusted in God as God should be trusted, God would sustain you as God sustains the birds – they go out in the morning hungry, and come back to rest in the evening full” – (Tirmidhi & Ibn Majah)

Tarbiyah will be delivered by trying to develop intelligence in an array of areas.

By intelligence we mean a deeply ingrained understanding and the skill to use this understanding in a practically effective way, meaning in a way that brings more good and averts harm. Hence, the syllabus includes the following areas:

  1. Spiritual intelligence
  2. Philosophical intelligence
  3. Moral intelligence
  4. Emotional intelligence
  5. Social intelligence
  6. Community intelligence
  7. Societal intelligence
  8. Bodily intelligence
  9. Academic intelligence
