In this session, we’ll help reframe your understanding of khidmah, showing how your Islamic training equips you to:

  • Become a source of strength and stability beyond just religious instruction

  • Recognise new and urgent needs within your community and where your voice matters most

  • Think beyond the mosque and classroom, and enter spaces where Islamic guidance is absent but desperately needed (e.g., schools, counselling, advocacy, digital media)

  • Reconnect your ‘ilm with real-world problems, helping people navigate life with faith and clarity

Open to graduates, scholars, students, imams — and anyone seeking guidance on how better to serve the Ummah
