It is always uplifting to see the youth of any religion reaching out to help others! I always love seeing the posts for the MMY and what they are doing to help our community. This great group shows me through their deeds and actions that they truly care about Murfreesboro and especially the homeless whom so many seem to have forgotten. They are true community youth leaders!

Murfreesboro Muslim Youth is an inspiring group. Their community service to help those most in need is an example for all.

MMY has helped me become a more self-driven, and independent individual. Being part of this organization has broadened the spectrum of tasks I can fulfill, and above all feel comfortable taking on.

There is no better reward than the sense of accomplishment that invigorates a person after they've committed to and successfully seen through a specific job. What better way to do this than by benefiting each other, our community, and serving Allah (SWT) in the process?

The creation of MMY was an important one to the Muslim youth. It gave us an opportunity to partake in activities we never thought we would ever do. Personally, planning girl’s all-nighters from start to finish was a great experience for me. It allowed me to see the dedication of the girls around me in actually wanting to be at the mosque to pray, learn, play games, and get to know one another on a more personal level.

Joining MMY was the best decision I ever made. It has given me a boost of encouragement to become involved in my community. Being a part of this group has shown me the kindness and the generosity of others; and that the world is not just filled with those who mean harm to others, but also those who are genuinely kind to others. Being a part of this organization has helped me fulfill one of my goals, which is to be able to make a difference; whether it’s big or small.

We should never underestimate the power of the youth of our community. The Murfreesboro Muslim Youth organization has allowed the young individuals of the Islamic community to support each other and channel their energy and enthusiasm in community service, outreach, and fundraising events.

The Murfreesboro Muslim Youth have proven to truly make a difference by working together to help others, especially ones in need. These efforts allow the youth to grow in a positive environment that reminds them to always give back to their community and to each other. MMY has become a large family to all of its members and will continue to grow and strengthen. I am so happy and proud to support and be a part of the MMY family.

Haneen Ahmad

MMY affected me by providing me with new perspectives and different outlooks on every step and decision I came to make. It made me a more compassionate person towards other people and helped me see the best in them.

I was definitely affected by MMY and will always continue to be affected. Never did I expect us to accomplish as much as we did. I am so proud of the MMY and am ready to see what future accomplishments we do.

MMY has been instrumental in bringing young Muslims together in Murfreesboro. As Murfreesboro has continued to grow, so has its Muslim community. More and more, we have seen the need for organization and activities to keep the youth connected to their faith as well as their brothers and sisters. MMY offers just that—a portal of connection rooted in the spirituality that allows young people to grow through volunteering, adventure, and spiritual growth. It has allowed me to meet new friends and given me a sense of belonging to the Muslims community.

The Murfreesboro Muslim Youth has had a major impact on me in the last 6 months. I have been more active and involved in my community, from raising money to buying supplies to ICM like the vacuums and freezers to going on fun trips like camping, Holiday World, and paintballing.

One thing I've learned from the MMY is to always put others first and be willing to help. Whether is it helping out the local food banks or helping the children with their Ramadan arts and crafts.

Malik Ahmad

It changed my life, by making me come to the masjid and helping others for Allah, not for other people.

Ramez Alabed

MMY made me more responsible, improved my leadership, and made me think more about people who don't have as much as we have.

Salim Sbenaty

MMY has helped me build on my character more than any other program I have been a part of. The responsibilities and leadership opportunities we are given through MMY provide valuable learning opportunities. Through MMY, I have learned how to trust and be trusted by my community member’s and I believe this lesson is essential for a growing community.

Samer Kattih

Excellent program for getting our youth together. May Allah help you to guide and direct our youth to the Righteous Path.

Zaid Abuzahra

This is one of the best experience with a wonderful group of Muslims. We have so much and I feel better being with them.

Zaid Chamdin

When I went to the food bank to help I honestly thought it was going to be boring. Then as we got into it, we started talking and laughing and have fun, and it makes me want to help out even more because I know the people around me and I will enjoy us spending time and helping together.
