Events Organized by Youth Intelligentsia
Mall of Humanity
“Youth Intelligentsia” has launched the “Mall of Humanity initiative to extend the Joy and Happiness of Eid to the families of such individuals. In Mall of Humanity, a “Bazaar-like” setup is arranged, where pre-registered individuals can choose a set number of quality items (clothing, shoes, toys, bags, etc.) Free of cost; this setup is designed to help said individuals without hurting their dignity. During Covid19 lockdown, Yi’s MOH helped 25,000+ families in maintaining their sustenance while upholding their dignity.
Meet the Seniors
Youth Intelligentsia proudly presented an enriching event where curiosity met experience – “Meet the Seniors.” This special evening brought together ambitious high school students with distinguished seniors from some of Karachi’s top universities, including IBA, IOBM, KIET, DHA Suffa, Bahria, IIEE, TIP, FAST, DOW Medical University, and many more.
Our high school participants had the unique opportunity to engage directly with seniors from these prestigious institutions, asking insightful questions about university life, admission processes, and academic journeys. The seniors shared firsthand experiences, guiding the students through the intricacies of choosing the right path and preparing for university life.
From understanding the admissions process to getting a feel for campus culture, this event was a treasure trove of valuable information.
We’re grateful to our senior representatives for their time, wisdom, and willingness to mentor the next generation. Their insights not only clarified doubts but also inspired these young minds to pursue their academic dreams with confidence and clarity.
As the students leave with newfound knowledge and a clearer vision of their future, we are excited to see the impact this event will have on their educational journeys. Here’s to the power of guidance, the excitement of new beginnings, and the bright futures that lie ahead!
Grand Iftaar Diner
An evening filled with knowledge, reflection, and solidarity. Youth Intelligentsia hosted a Grand Iftaar dinner where we delved into the essence of fasting in Ramadan and stood in solidarity with Palestine. With insightful sessions by Brother Maaz Muhammad Siddiqui, Mr. Khaled Quddoumi on Palestine, Ma’am Hareem on the Save Gaza campaign, and concluding remarks by our Director, Brother Umair Manzoor. Together, we embrace the spirit of unity and compassion.
Culture of Maximizing Pleasure
Youth Intelligentsia had the honor of hosting a thought-provoking session led by Brother Maaz Siddiqui on “The Culture of Maximizing Pleasure.” In this insightful talk, Brother Maaz delved into the prevalent cultural trends that prioritize instant gratification and indulgence, encouraging us to reflect on these notions through the lens of Islamic principles.
He discussed how, as Muslims, we are called to navigate the world’s temptations with mindfulness and restraint, seeking balance rather than excess. Brother Maaz illuminated the importance of prioritizing spiritual growth and long-term fulfillment over the fleeting pleasures that modern culture often glorifies.
The session was a powerful reminder that true contentment and success are found not in the relentless pursuit of worldly pleasures, but in aligning our lives with the values and teachings of Islam.
Shab e Dari: A Night of Spiritual Enrichment
‘Shab e Dari’ was a significant event for the Core Team of Youth Intelligentsia, featuring two enlightening sessions that provided profound spiritual insights and reflection.
– ‘Fikr e Aakhirat’ led by Brother Husnain, focused on the contemplation of the Hereafter. This session inspired participants to reflect on their actions and the eternal consequences, fostering a deeper understanding of the spiritual journey and the importance of living a life aligned with higher principles.
– ‘Mus’ab Bin Umair R.A.’ led by Brother Kashaf Qaiser, explored the life and legacy of Mus’ab Bin Umair R.A., a noble companion of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). This session highlighted Mus’ab’s dedication, sacrifices, and unwavering faith, serving as a powerful example for the team to emulate in their own lives.
The night was filled with spiritual enrichment and meaningful reflection, strengthening the team’s commitment to personal growth and their collective mission.
