Welcome…s
MYSTL Girls is for the youth, by the youth!
Back in 2006, Dr. Shaykha Haifaa Younis spotted a gap: there wasn’t a youth group for girls in St. Louis. With her support, Sisters Nour Al-Hiyari and Randa Kuziez stepped up to create MYSTL (Muslim Youth of St. Louis). Soon after, a MYSTL boys’ branch was created under Mufti Minhajuddin Ahmed’s guidance.
So, what’s our mission at MYSTL Girls? Simple: we’re all about creating a vibrant, Islamic space for young women across St. Louis. And here’s the kicker – it’s run by us, for us! Yep, our board is made up entirely of high schoolers.
We’re on a mission to shape the leaders of tomorrow, all while keeping it fun. How? By having opportunities for Islamic discussions, getting involved in community service projects, and hosting social gatherings.
