MUR HAS ESTABLISHED A YOUTH COUNCIL

MUR has formally established a Youth Council headed by Bro. Abdul Gaffour, 30 years, who is currently pursuing his Master program with the Faculty of History and Revealed Knowledge, International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM). He is being assisted by Bro. Abdul Quttub, his fellow colleague from UIAM.
The main objectives of the council are as follows:-
i) To bring together and make full use of the intellectual force latent among Rohingya youths in Malaysia. These youths have the golden opportunity to enjoy tertiary education, and are able to help provide the right guidance to their fellow friends on overcoming the manifold obstacles and challenges ahead;
ii) To strengthen the belief system (aqidah) of the Rohingya youth through organisation of motivational programs, such as talks, discussions, workshops and seminars so that they would be able to become good Muslims who would be able to uphold the principles of ‘amal makruf nahi mungkar’.
iii) To imbibe a sense of identity and pride amongst the Rohingya youth, as well as enable them to remember the struggles and difficulties faced by their forefathers.
From 19 to 20 November 2011, the Youth Council had successfully organized a holiday camp cum workshop on the theme ‘Rohingya Youth in Malaysia: Looking for a Better Future’. The event, sponsored by the World Assembly of Muslim Youth (WAMY) was held at Chula Hotel, Port Dickson and attended by 40 Rohingya youth from the Klang Valley between the ages of 12 – 35 years old.
The 2 day program was conducted jointly by Abdul Gaffour and Abdul Quttub, who were assisted by MUR leadership under the chairmanship of Ustaz Muhammad Amin bin Muhammad Kassim.
The council also invited Mr. Ab. Halim Ismail [Secretary-General of Wadah Pencerdasan Umat (WADAH)] and Mr. Mohd. Ghazali bin Mohd. Yasin [Former Director of Future Global Network Foundation (FGN)] to give motivational talks related to the theme of the workshop.
