Building Tomorrow’s Ummah
Building faith, knowledge, brotherhood, service, leaders and community for tomorrow.
Every MYL gathering builds something that lasts. These are the six things we set out to build, one event at a time.
The people behind MYL
Meet our team.
MYL Canada is shaped by young people who plan, listen, organize and show up for their communities. A new team took up the work in October 2026, with one long-term aim: to raise the next generation of leaders who will carry MYL forward on their own.

What guides us
Four commitments, lived together.
A strong youth community needs intellectual depth, spiritual life, genuine friendship and useful action.
Grounded learning
Classical Islamic knowledge engaged with the questions young people actually face.
Noble character
Faith measured not only by what we know, but by how we carry ourselves and treat others.
Belonging
Spaces where young Muslims can be honest, supported and connected across backgrounds.
Service
Compassion translated into practical work for neighbours, communities and humanitarian causes.
Love · Peace · Knowledge
Confident in faith.
Constructive in society.
MYL Canada’s public mission joins spiritual and moral development with leadership, service, Canadian belonging and respect across communities.
