MY GROUP Boys Summer Retreat by Rashid Almuntharee



Alhamdulillah, we had a great Summer Camp at the Alabama 4H Center. By the permission of Allah, the boys were able to accomplish the following: boxing skills, Brazilian Jujitsu skills, and archery. The mornings began with fajr and then physical conditioning, followed up with boxing. The afternoons were filled with soccer, canoeing, and a pontoon boat ride. At night we had the place to ourselves!

The primary focus of this was teaching the youth how to protect themselves spiritually and physically. Alhamdulillah the boys also learned the dua of Rasulullah when one exits the house: Bismillahi Tawakkaltu ala Allah wa laa hawla walaa quwwata illaa billaah.  "In the name of Allah I place my trust in Him and rely on Him. There is no might or movement except by Him. Whoever says this in the morning before leaving, the shaytaan says to the other devils "What can you do to a person who is guided and protected?" After teaching the boys the dua, I actually had a kid to come up me later to review the dua to make sure he learned it properly. The camp was successful. May Allah accept it and guide our youth. Ameen.
