The
JIMAS Youth Programme is a two day learning event
for children held every year during the bank holiday
JIMAS conference in Leicester.
The
programme aims to take children through a series
of learning acitivities to enhance their iman
and examine issues related to the conference theme
in a child-friendly way.
It
is a unique and intensive experience in which
commited and talented volunteers each lead a group
of children between the ages of 8 and 13yrs, facilitating
their learning, helping them have fun and safeguarding
their welfare.
We
are in the process of recruiting volunteers: places
are limited so apply early to win the opportunity
to earn valuable experience working with and teaching children
as well as the du'as of those children and their
parents and the awesome reward of Allah in this
life and the next by the grace of Allah.
At
the Youth Programme you will have the opportunity
to bless, inspire and plant seeds of iman in the
hearts and minds of your children by His Mercy
and Permission.
Imagine
the Pleasure of Allah and His reward for your
efforts.
We
are repeatedly told in the noble Qur'an to strive
in His path, which He loves, and that He rewards
good deeds. His promise of reward and success will
be fulfilled:
O
ye who believe!
Shall I lead you to a bargain that will save
you
from a grievous Penalty?
- That you believe in Allah and His Messenger,
and that you strive (your utmost) in the Cause
of Allah,
with your property and your persons:
That will be best for you, if you but knew!
(61:10) |
Imagine
the hasanat you will earn through your work, where
you put aside your own comfort and desires, to
nurture and guide a group of children who will
be a proof for you insha`Allah on the Day of Judgement.
Perhaps
they will come forward, when you stand before
Ar-Rahman, trembling, desperately counting your
deeds, good and bad, being placed on each side
of the scale. Perhaps the children you have taught
will speak up for you, or perhaps the rewards
due to you from your good towards them will simply
be placed into your scale of good deeds and tip
the balance in your favour. Perhaps your frightened
and shaking state will be transformed into ecstasy
and you will be led by angels through the gates
of Jannah, as they say "Enter here with peace"...
And
those who feared their Lord will be led to
the Garden in crowds:
until behold, they arrive there; its gates
will be opened;
and its keepers will say: Peace be upon you!
well have ye done!
enter ye here, to dwell therein. (Al-Qur'an,
39:73) |
|
So
patiently persevere: for verily the promise
of Allah is true:
nor let those shake thy firmness, who have
(themselves) no certainty of faith. (Al-Qur'an,
30:60)
|
If
you are one of those unique individuals who gladly
put aside their own convenience but instead strive
to do good for Allah's pleasure and you love inspiring
children and have relevant experience of working
with children, do not delay:

Hurry
- don't miss this chance!
Be
quick in the race for forgiveness from your
Lord,
and for a Garden whose width is that (of the
whole) of the heavens and of the earth,
prepared for the righteous,
- Those who spend (freely), whether in prosperity,
or in adversity...
For such the reward is forgiveness from their
Lord
and Gardens with rivers flowing underneath,
- an eternal dwelling:
How excellent a recompense for those who work
(and strive)!" (Al-Qur'an, 3:133-136) |
