About Us

For the youth, by the youth...

Halaqa

Join our weekly Halaqa every Saturday at 1:20 pm in person every Saturday in the Dar Ul Salam Mosque’s Iqra Library!

Activities

Spice up your Fridays with our Monthly Halaqa Hangout – where we discuss, listen, and do exciting activities! Our bigger monthly events normally occur on Saturdays.

Outreach

Every other month MYSTL collabs with different Mosques to create unity and sisterhood with other Muslims youth across various Masjids. Together we engage in enlightening halaqaat (study circles) and build strong bonds with other Muslim communities.

Community Service

Every other month, MYSTL Girls give back to the community by volunteering at various local not-for-profit organizations. Examples of different organizations we worked with are Beit ul Maal (House of Goods), AlBaraka Food Pantry, Islamic Relief, and Foster and Adoptive Care Coalition.
