The Pre-University Course organized by the Africa Federation is, in my humble opinion, one of the most meaningful initiatives we have for our youth today. It is far more than just a preparatory program—it is a deeply transformative experience designed to shape not only minds, but hearts and souls. As they stand at the threshold of adulthood and independence, our young brothers and sisters are faced with challenges that go far beyond the classroom. This course is built to help them navigate those challenges with confidence, clarity, and faith. Through carefully designed sessions, discussions, and mentorship, the program nurtures a sense of belonging, strengthens Islamic identity, and inspires a purpose-driven outlook towards life. It is a space where students can explore their beliefs, ask the difficult questions, and gain the tools they need to uphold their values in environments that may often test them. For me, it is always a joy to witness the growth, excitement, and transformation that takes place in just a matter of days. This course is not a lecture series—it’s a turning point.
