5Ws & 1H of being a Muslim youth
Delivered by Dr Mahera Ruby | Family Coach
Event in progress
Growing up today can feel overwhelming for young Muslims. Between school, social media, and societal pressures, many begin asking: Who am I? What do I stand for? Where do I belong? This six-week workshop series supports teens in exploring these questions and building confident, values-driven identities rooted in Islamic principles.
Research consistently shows that when young people have a strong sense of identity, especially one rooted in faith and positive cultural grounding, they develop greater confidence, resilience, and emotional well-being. Faith-based identity also serves as a protective anchor, helping them feel secure, connected, and purposeful while reducing the likelihood of harmful or risky behaviour.
This journey of self-understanding requires guidance and a safe environment in which to ask real questions.
Our aim is not to preach. Instead, we seek to equip, support, and empower.
This course provides a welcoming and supportive space for teens to explore:
What it means to be a young Muslim today- Why faith matters in shaping their identity
- Who their role models and influences are
- Where they fit within their community, impact of social media, and the wider world
- Their key decision-making moments
- How to stay confident and true to themselves
The sessions are interactive, relatable, and free from judgement. Participants are encouraged to share openly, reflect deeply, and connect with others who understand their experiences. Parents often tell us that their children leave the course showing greater maturity, emotional clarity, and a deeper connection to both family and faith.
Note: Participants are strongly encouraged to keep their cameras on during the sessions. Please ensure they are in an appropriate environment for this.
This course is designed for teens who want to:
- Build a strong sense of identity rooted in Islamic values
- Navigate school, social media, and peer pressure with confidence
- Develop emotional resilience and self-worth
- Connect with others who share their faith and values
- Learn to make choices aligned with their true values
Rather than being shaped by external pressures, participants will learn to define who they are with clarity, purpose, and pride in their Muslim identity.
Give your teen the gift of strong identity, belonging, and self-worth.
Please note: Places are limited to 25 seats to ensure a small-group setting with personalised support.
