'Social Reform' Enhances Legal Awareness Among Youth at 'Badia Al-Muta'allim'
Al-Yaqoot: We combine religious grounding with practical application to build a generation aware of its faith
Abdulaziz Al-Yaqoot, Deputy Head of the Da’wah and Religious Education Sector at the Al-Isalah Social Association, affirmed the sector’s commitment to spreading religious knowledge among youth and adolescents, presenting it in a simplified manner appropriate to their ages, in collaboration with educational clubs.
Speaking to the press on the occasion of the launch of the “Beginner’s Start” course, Al-Yaqoot stated that the course is part of the sector’s efforts to provide religious and educational programs that help young people build a solid foundation in understanding their religion. He noted that cooperation with educational clubs enables reaching adolescents in an environment that integrates education, upbringing, and interaction.
The course covered the jurisprudence of purification (taharah) and ablution (wudu), along with their recommended practices (sunnahs), with a focus on presenting information clearly and in a way that relates to the participants’ reality, given the direct connection of these topics to a Muslim’s daily life and acts of worship.
He added, “In the ‘Beginner’s Start’ course, we ensured that education was not limited to the theoretical aspect, but rather combined knowledge with practical application, so that young people learn the religious ruling, understand it, and are able to apply it correctly.”
He pointed out that the course witnessed significant engagement from the youth, and that the practical component contributed to reinforcing knowledge and increasing interaction, in addition to providing participants with the opportunity to ask questions and benefit more.
Al-Yaqoot emphasized that the goal of these programs extends beyond providing religious information; it aims to build a conscious personality, aware of its faith, with sound worship practices, and capable of translating what it learns into behavior and practice in daily life.
He explained that the “Beginner’s Start” project represents an important step for adolescents on the path of seeking religious knowledge, reaffirming the sector’s commitment to developing such programs and presenting them in a manner that combines religious grounding with an educational approach suitable for youth.
He appreciated the cooperation of educational clubs and their role in hosting these programs, clarifying that integration between da’wah and educational institutions contributes to reaching young people, enhancing their religious awareness, and instilling Islamic values in their hearts.
Al-Yaqoot concluded by reiterating the continued commitment of the Da’wah and Religious Education Sector to offering programs and courses that serve youth and adolescents, contributing to the dissemination of religious knowledge in an accessible and beneficial manner, thereby fulfilling the mission of the Al-Isalah Social Association in building a balanced Muslim individual who is beneficial to his society.
