(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - The Madinah al-Ilm and Bab al-Ilm Youth Summer Courses are a regular feature on The World Federation calendar; youths from around the globe gather together in the Islamic Republic of Iran for three weeks of education, appreciation of culture, spirituality, and recreation. The aim of the Course is to serve as a post-Madrasah education initiative; integrating academic Islamic scholarship with an experience of the cultural relevance of Islam in the modern age. It is packaged along with a sense of enhanced self-knowledge and understanding leading to higher levels of spirituality; as an end result it inspires the participants to a greater service to humanity and their communities back home.
This year, The World Federation of KSIMC’s Qum Office had the honour of hosting a group of 61 participants from four continents and from a variety of academic, familial, geographic and linguistic backgrounds. The course planning began almost six months prior to the arrival of the participants in Iran and was backed up by the constant and selfless administrative and logistical support of the WF Islamic Education department office in Stanmore (London) and the Regional Federations of Africa, Europe, North America, Pakistan, and the Jamaat of Dubai.
Preparation for next year's courses are now underway and the course dates have been confirmed as Tuesday 13 August to Saturday 31 August 2013 inshAllah.
