Muslim Youth Movement of South Africa

Empowering the Youth to  secure the future

MYM is based on the ideology of Islam as embodied in the Holy Qur’an and the Sunnah of our Prophet Muhammad (SAW).

It is this ideology alone which moves us and motivates us to struggle for just and good in  our society, it also unites us as a single fraternity, regardless of colour, class or nationality. 

The MYM began on 16th December 1970 in Durban in response to he call of the Qur’an…
