Muslim Culture Con is a 501c3 non-profit organization curated by a board of national Muslim young adults ages 18-35. Over the past year, we have undergone a process to transition to a full-fledged non-profit entity, and we are delighted to share our latest update.
Muslim Culture Con (MCC) is committed to strengthening, nurturing, and supporting the life skills of young adults. Our mission is to prepare young adult Muslims for individual and collective success. We provide the necessary space and life skills to cultivate community responsibly, in alignment with Imam W. Deen Mohammad’s vision for model Muslim American community life.
We are excited to share that we are preparing to host our first annual young adult retreat, October 25-27, in Dallas, TX. Themed “Destined for Prosperity: Using Our Legacy to Cultivate a Garden of Excellence,” the retreat will take place at Ascend Camp, a Muslim-owned retreat facility.
With this theme in mind, we invite young adult Muslims to reflect on the legacy of African American Muslims in this country and then ask ourselves how we are utilizing that legacy to work toward the joy – the paradise – that Allah (SWT) promises to His servants. How are we using the tools our pioneers have left for us, especially when it comes to our deen and community, to create and continue spaces for further cultivation and growth?
This is the opportunity for young adult Muslims nationally aged 18-35 to experience a unique opportunity to get away and immerse themselves in a Muslim environment, where Muslim Culture Con aims to make this retreat our collective opportunity to connect, learn, and flourish.
Inspired by Imam Warith Deen Mohammed’s vision and legacy, we aim to cultivate a model Muslim American community that embodies excellence and compassion. This retreat is a testament to his teachings and our commitment to shaping a bright future.
Some of the retreat session highlights will include:
– Who Are We and Where Do We Come From?
– Why Did Allah (swt) Put Me Here?
– Paradise As The Final Destination
– Where Do We Go From Here?
This retreat is not just an event; it’s a transformative journey tailored to equip you with the skills and mindset needed to thrive personally and contribute meaningfully to community life. We invite you to be part of this empowering experience! Spread the word among your friends and family. Help us reach young adults who share our vision of a vibrant, inclusive Muslim community in America. Together, let’s build bridges and strengthen our collective voice.
At Muslim Culture Con, we recognize that our youth are the heartbeat of our community. This retreat is an investment in their growth and leadership. Together, let’s nurture the rising stars who will carry forward Imam Warith Deen Mohammed’s legacy with grace and determination.
As we embark on this journey, let us seek Allah’s (SWT) mercy and guidance. Just as the youths in the cave sought His blessings and right guidance (The Holy Quran, 18:10), may we be guided by His wisdom and grace.
If you know a young adult between the ages of 18-35 who would be interested in attending the retreat, please share our registration link.
