The Young Muslims UK (YMUK) was established in 1984[1][2] and celebrated its 25th Anniversary in 2009. It became the youth wing of the Islamic Society of Britain (ISB) in 1990 with an aim to "provide a vehicle for committed young British Muslims to combine their knowledge, skills and efforts for the benefit of one another and British society as a whole."[3]
The Young Muslims UK is an affiliate body of the Muslim Council of Britain.[4]
Methods of working
YMUK has been praised for its forward thinking and ability to make Islam relevant to British society: "The establishment of organisations such as Young Muslims UK is a step in the right direction, offering as they do resources for Muslims seeking to make Islam relevant to their own hybrid condition."[5][6]
YMUK adopt and promote five principles:[7]
- Inviting - "...invites all youth to the message of Islam."
- Teamwork - "...organises all those who respond to its call into a committed, loving and disciplined brotherhood."
- Educating - "...develops the talents, knowledge and understanding of individuals and applies them for the benefit of all."
- Developing - "...promotes personal, spiritual and moral development and building a relationship with God."
- Action - "...initiates various programmes to involve individuals to help society around them."
A key feature that distinguishes YMUK from other Islamic organisations is its lack of discrimination to different Islamic schools of thought: "Some organisations, such as Young Muslims UK, have decided that one's choice of Madh'hab or school of jurisprudence should be a personal choice. Where the organisation needs to take a public position on some issue, however, this is decided by a process of Shura (consultation) in which the views of various madhahhib are considered."[8]
Notable members
These individuals were part of the organisation at some point in its history:
- Ajmal Masroor, television presenter and a candidate for the Liberal Democrats.[9]
- Inayat Bunglawala, Assistant Secretary-General of the Muslim Council of Britain. He Joined the YMUK in 1987.[10]
- Sarah Joseph, editor of emel magazine.
Notable Recent Projects/Events
- Heroes 2007 [1]
- YM London Treasure Hunt
- The Young Muslims Talent Search [2]
- The Muslim Teenager Tour [3]
- YM360
