Halaqat

MAC Youth halaqat are religious study circles that are aimed at helping the youth elevate themselves spiritually and mentally. Geared toward youth aged 18-30, this program engages students in an informal class setting by offering talks on various topics followed by an opportunity for reflection and discussion. Guest speakers are brothers and sisters with a high level of Islamic knowledge as well as a wealth of experience in Islamic community work.

Halaqa topics are covered holistically and comprehensively, allowing students to gain more than a cursory understanding of the subjects about which they are learning. In the spirit of helping youth become well-rounded and knowledgeable in a wide range of subjects, topics include:

• Islamic content, such as the purification of the soul, history, etc.
• Soft skills, like leadership, public speaking, and time management.
• Youth concerns, including problems youth face on a regular basis as well suitable Islamic solutions.

One of the key goals of the MAC Youth halaqat is to provide youth with the opportunity to make new friends and develop beneficial long-lasting relationships with other Muslim youth. Accordingly, the halaqa periodically organizes various activities such as skiing, bowling, hiking, and more to give students the chance to spend time together.
