The Oranization exists to uphold Islamic teachings in accordance with Al-Quran and Sunnah of the last and final Prophet, Muhammad (SAW)

2.2 Definition of a Muslim

o A Muslim is a person who believes in the Oneness of Allah, the

Prophethood of Muhammad (SAW) as the last of the prophets and

that there can be no Messenger and / or ‘Nabi’ after him, the Day of

Judgement and the teachings of the Quran and Sunnah

o Practising Islam as a way of life

• assembling of suitable Islamic information, literatures and media production on Islam.
• Tactful motivation of competent Muslim Youths to take Islamic preaching as part of their profession.
• Cooperation with other Islamic bodies in effective organization and provision of Muslims needs, relief, welfare, Volunteer services and economic empowerment programmes to the displaced Muslim and refugees when ever and where ever needs arises.

In discharging these tasks, IMYDP and individuals concerned solemnly take into consideration “where the youths are today, where they should be, how to get there, where the youths tomorrow are and where they should be in the future?

The divine guideline in the Quran 3 verse 104 is our emblem on

)وَلْتَكُن مِّنكُمْ أُمَّةٌ يَدْعُونَ إِلَى الْخَيْرِ وَيَأْمُرُونَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنكَرِ وَأُوْلَـئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ (

“And let there arise out of you a community of people inviting unto all that is good and doing right and forbid the doing of wrong (evil) and it is they who shall attain to a happy state”.

(ادْعُ إِلِى سَبِيلِ رَبِّكَ بِالْحِكْمَةِ وَالْمَوْعِظَةِ الْحَسَنَةِ وَجَادِلْهُم بِالَّتِي هِيَ أَحْسَنُ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَن ضَلَّ عَن سَبِيلِهِ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِالْمُهْتَدِينَ).“Invite them to the way of thy sustainer with wisdom and

beautiful preaching and argue with them in way that are best and most gracious” (Surah An-Nahl, Q 16 verse 125)

Furthermore, our target also includes producing dynamic Muslim Youth leaders who will have the intention of providing Muslim community with services of moral Islamic values and attitudes on

economic, social and political by instilling in them Islamic Knowledge and wisdom it required with focus on dawah whereever and whenever  He/She found himself taking into cognizance  leadership skills and administrative efficiencies.

1.                 Recite the Qur’an, at least a juz (1/30 of the Qur’an) daily. You should finish a reading of the whole Qur’an in no more than a month and no less than three days.

2.                 Improve your Qur’anic recitation by listening to good reciters and taking lessons in recitation. Set aside some time to study the life history of the Prophet (sirah), and the history of Muslims. You should read a lot of books, but a Humatul Islam is a must. Also, you should read a lot of ahadith and memorize at least forty, if possible, from the collection of Imam AI-Nawawi. Last but not least, you should study the basics of Islamic faith (aqidah), Islamic law (fiqh) and its branches.

3.                 Have a medical check-up regularly and have a doctor check any ailment. You should take care of your strength and refrain from anything that will harm your body.

6.                 Speak the truth and never lie even once.

7.                 Fulfill your promises and commitments and do not resort to lame excuses.

8.                 Be brave and wise. Bravery requires one to talk frankly about what is true and right, to keep secrets, to admit one’s faults, to be aware of oneself, and to keep oneself from getting angry.

9.                 Be serious but your seriousness should not stop you from enjoying jokes and laughing.

10.            Be modest, careful, and sensitive to good and bad things by expressing your happiness when experiencing good and gratitude when encountering bad. You should ask for a less prominent position, although you deserve or have a higher one.

11.            Be fair in judging according to sound evidence. Your anger should not make you ignore the good in others and your blessings should not make you forget the bad in others. You should speak the truth even to yourself and to your closest friends, even though it may be painful to do so.

25.            Avoid all newspapers, magazines, clubs, gatherings, and schools that oppose the principles of Islam, unless your reading and activities in such prohibited institutions are designed only to promote the good and oppose the bad.

26.            Always remember Allah, the Almighty, and the Day of judgments. You should look for every means to seek the blessing of Allah, the Almighty, with high spirit and self esteem. You should always seek to be closer to Allah through voluntary prayer such as night prayer (qiyam al-layl), and fasting at least three days a month.

Fulfill the rights of brotherhood as much as you can by showing love and appreciation, by mutual help and giving preference to others and by attending the organization’s gatherings wherever possible.

37.            Dissociate yourself from every gathering or organization that opposes your ideological standpoint, especially when the Islamic Organization or Duat ( Islamic preacher)  near you  asks you to do so.

38.            Spread the message of Islam everywhere you go. Keep the leadership informed about all you see that is relevant to its mission, and avoid any actions that might hurt or weaken your leaders and the movement of Islam. Always maintain good relations with your direct superior in the leadership in the School or place of works. Regard yourself as a soldier of Islam in battle ready to go on duty at any time.

39.            Make frequent use of the following supplication known as the wird al rabitah (or supplication of commitment). First, read the following verse carefully.

Say: O Allah! Lord of Power (and Rule), You give power to whom You please, and You strip off power from whom You please. You endow with honor whom You please, and You bring low whom You please. In Your hand is all good. Verily, over all things You have power. You cause the night to gain on the day, and You cause the day to gain on the night. You bring the living out of dead, and You bring the dead out of the living, and You give sustenance to whom You please, without measure. [Qur’an 3:26-27]

Then say the following supplication:

O Allah, this is the arrival of Your night and the departure of Your day. Please forgive me.

After that bring to mind the face of your closest brother and try to feel a spiritual relationship between you and him and with others whom you do not know, and make the following supplication:

O Allah, indeed you know that these souls have agreed to love you, to obey you, to cooperate in spreading Your message, and have promised to support and apply your law (shari’ah). O Allah, strengthen our relationship, make our love last, and show us the right way. Fulfill these souls with Your light that never diminishes, expand our souls with the blessings of faith in You, for in You we believe. Enlighten these souls with Your understanding and let us die as martyrs by fighting in Your cause, for indeed You are the best Protector and Helper. O Allah, fulfill these requests, bestow Your blessings and peace on Prophet Muhammad (s), and his family, and his companions.

Try to live for Islam.

A person who lives for Islam will work with other like-minded people. Believing in Islam means to work in solidarity with others in an activist movement, directed toward teaching the truths of Islam, enjoining right and combatting wrong, establishing the Islamic personality and family, and establishing the Islamic community with Islamic governance. Allah, the almighty, has said:

[Allah to Moses], “We will certainly strengthen your arm through your brother.” [Qur’an 28:35]

Help one another in righteousness and piety, but help not one another in sin and rancor. [Qur’an 5:2]

The Prophet (s) said:

A Muslim working with another Muslim may be compared to a strong building. Everybody is reinforcing each other.

Allah’s help is with the community. Verily, a fox will eat only a sheep who is away from the community.

You must be with the Muslim community and their leader.

Togetherness is a blessing and disunity is destruction.
