The Leadership Journey
How your child can emulate the characteristics of the youth around the Prophet ﷺ and unlock their potential as a young Muslim leader
A 2-Day Live Course with Shaykh Abu Haneefah Sohail and Ustadh Umar Sulaiman

I WANT TO UNLEASH MY CHILD'S INNER LEADER!
Are Your Children's Role Models Leading them to the Love of Allah or Love of Dunya?
Meet Yusuf, he’s a young teen and addicted to social media. He’s taken celebrities as role models, even though they only run after money and fame instead of Allah ﷻ and His rewards.
Instead of striving in actions that will take him towards Jannah, Yusuf wishes only for worldly successes.
Unfortunately, he’s not confident at all in his skills and abilities. He also has no proper goals, high aspirations, and no one—not even his parents—believes he has the maturity or experience needed to achieve anything great.
So who should he take as alternative role models?
Teens Around the Prophet Who Changed History
Alhamdulillah, there are some extraordinary young companions around the Prophet(s)—with stories often unexplored—who achieved great things in their youth and set a positive example for future generations. They were sent to non-Muslim cities with the message of Islam, appointed as leaders of battles, and made scholars of tafseer...all while in their teens!
The Prophet ﷺ was asked, “Who are the best people?” He replied: “The people of my generation, and then those who will follow (come after) them, and then those who will come after the later.” [Bukhari]
The Greatest Role Models for Your Children
Allah ﷻ has given us time. You need to use this time to build your child with the knowledge, skills and experiences to set them up for success. You must instill the values that allow them to seek Allah's pleasure in everything they do.
You begin by helping them follow the examples of youthful companions and emulate their qualities. These youthful companions were leaders of the ummah, served the people, and left behind a legacy we still read about to today.
If you study their lives through the lens of what leadership qualities they possessed, you’ll see how our children can implement these skills to achieve amazing success.
But what’s needed is a way to present their lives in a relatable and applicable way for young Muslims living in the 21st century.
