“Al-Ummah taught me so much, not just about our faith
but also about myself and what I am capable of. Our
accommodation was beautiful and the family that we
created was full of the most amazing people. Thank you
so much for giving me the opportunity to attend Al-Ummah
– this experience will stay with me forever.”
“I got
to know myself better. I got to know and understand
others better. I grew as a person and am stronger.”
“There
are 2 things I will remember most:
·
An
incredible feeling of community and family
·
Learning
more about myself through the OB activities, working in
new groups and teams and reflecting a lot on my life
through mentoring sessions and the solo night.”
“Camping
during the expedition was a completely different
experience for me, and really helped to bring our group
together.
Personally it also allowed me to really feel away from
home and away from all my worries.”
“Everything to do with JK, such as designing it with all
the different elements of design, and then Khushiali
night, which was so much fun.
It really made the think about Jamatkhana as a
building and look at Jamatkhanas in a different way.”
“I will
never forget the friendships I made and how we can
achieve what we want if we just set our minds to it”
“I think
AUE has been the best experience of my life and one
which I will never forget.”
“I would
honestly recommend Pathways to absolutely every single
person I come across.
The personal gains are so strong when you realise
exactly how much you appreciate the community you are a
part of.”
“The Pathways Residential was a journey within a
journey…We found ourselves in situations where we had to
overcome our fears and weaknesses, whether it was in
abseiling or falling off our home-made rafts into the
muddy water below. Pathways was a time where as a family
we faced these challenges while at the same time we
unravelled some of our own personal questions about the
meaning of our faith with workshops and ‘Koffee with
Karim’ (our resident Al-Waez).”
