ISLAMABAD: The Youth Club has organized a one-day spiritual conference titled ‘Wrong Number’ for Muslim youngsters and educated families to revitalize their knowledge and understanding of Islam amid an onslaught of misconceptions perpetrated among Muslims under the garb of modernism and liberalism.
The Youth Club, founded by Raja Zia ul Haq, is a non-profit organization working on ethical and moral values for youth, providing a platform for educated youth and families to practice their energies and potential on the Islamic way for their betterment.
The “Wrong Number” event’s theme was inspired by the concept of avoiding the damages of getting religious knowledge from the wrong sources just like dialing a wrong number was avoided. Moreover, it intended to connect the masses to authentic sources i.e. the “right number of Islamic knowledge”, the speakers’ rich content on need-of-the-time topics such as preserving the family system, liberalism, avoiding ‘bid?ah’ [inauthentic innovation in religion], feminism and the like).
The event received massive public support with a full house of over one thousand attendants, where 67 organizers, including 80 volunteers participated in the arrangements. The event included a fundraiser that collected donations for aiding the Islamic cause of spreading authentic religious knowledge and positive change.
The Youth Club also arranges trips and retreats for youth and families as per shariah laws. However, Wrong Number was the Club’s mega-conference yearly held in Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad.
The main speakers included CEO Raja Zia ul Haq, Taha Bin Jalil Country Manager Youth Club, Regional Director Sindh Wajih ud Din, Regional director Punjab Mughera Luqman and Muhammad Ali. However, the club also held activities for children separately under the conference.
The Youth Club is actively engaging youth of leading educational institutions including NUST, LUMS, PIEAS, etc.
The mega event was part of its campaign ‘Winds of Change’, which is a yearly nationwide tour featuring such conferences.
The initiative was expanded across 20 plus mega cities of south and central Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
