Ramadan Youth Challenge 1431H/2010M By: Mohammad Fairuz Shah RYC Chairman 2010 A Proposal Submitted for Youth Health Promotion Grant Health Promotion Board 16 June 2010
INTRODUCTION 1. Ramadan Youth Challenge is a campaign to create awareness amongst the hearts of young Muslim youths in Singapore, about the significance of Ramadan in the lives of Muslims around the world. This outreach campaign was initiated by YGSU (MUIS) and fellow YDOs in 2004 with the aim to uplift both spiritual and moral developments for Muslims youth in general. 2. Ramadan is supposed to be a transformational period for Muslims to elevate piety and increase spiritual contents. However, Muslims in general and especially the youths are often distracted and strayed by the ‘activeness’ of entertainments and celebrations in welcoming Hari Raya and other strong pull factors of unhealthy influences from becoming a good practicing young Muslims. 3. Thus, Ramadan Youth Challenge is an essential platform and is regarded to be an effective avenue to facilitate and transform the youth community towards a Muslim youth of excellence as they are an asset and the future leaders. THEME 4. The theme for Ramadan Youth Challenge this year is “Celebrate The Beauty of Ramadan” THE MESSAGE 5. Youths in general are still lacking in understanding Islam and internalizing Islam as their religion. Therefore Ramadan Youth Challenge 2010 is about the importance of the youth to know their purpose in life as a young Muslim, to internalize the month of Ramadan as month of joy, and understand the significance beyond rituals. To compliment this effort, the (RiCAP) attributes will be embedded to equip these leaders so to be a resilient youth in facing challenges in the near future.
