Description
The first speaker, Mufti Ismail Menk, will bring the audience through key historical facts about Ashabul Kahfi. He will also share why the story was explicitly detailed in the holy Qur’an. At the end of his presentation, the audience should be more aware and inspired to appreciate and emulate the spirit of sacrifice, resilience and steadfastness of Ashabul Kahfi in striving to attain Allah’s pleasure and mercy. Mufti Menk will make comparisons between then and now and emphasize on the timelessness of the character and personality of Ashabul Kahfi.
The second speaker, Dr Muhammad Salah, will share on how we can internalize this amazing story in our current context. He will, not only, raise awareness of the challenges and issues facing youth today but also how the true Islam is the key in managing these challenges. He will also share how we can establish the 21st century madrasah within us so that we can be the “Ashabul Kahfi” of today.
