Our 
History

MYF over the years has developed & established itself at the forefront of the English Shia Ithna Asheri organisations in the Northwest.

​

We are active throughout the year and strive to provide programmes of the highest calibre in terms of organisation, service provision, quality of speakers & reciters – targeting and accommodating to the needs of the community

Religious Event 

MYF hold majalis, milaad & gatherings throughout the Islamic Calendar, notably in the holy months of Muharram, Ramad’an & Fatimiyah with distinguished speakers & reciters (not an exhaustive list):

In 2020, during the Covid-19 pandemic, MYF organised the largest outdoor drive-in Muharram Majalis in Europe to mark the stand and remembrance of the martyrdom of Imam Al-Hussayn (as) – this was well attended nationally and received acclamation and recognition across Europe.

Islamic Education

MYF prides itself on establishing and running one of the longest running weekend Islamic schools in Manchester. We cater for approximately 150 students weekly – age range 6 – 16 and teach multiple facets of the Shia Ithna Asheri faith including but not limited to Quran recitation & tafsir, jurisprudence & laws of the religion.

​

Due to our current limitations in terms of premises & available resources, we operate a waiting list for enrolment, we hope project MY Community, will go a long way in further catering to the needs of the wider community.

Education & Career

MYF Aspire is a comprehensive scheme run by MYF dedicated to empowering youth through a multifaceted approach to career development.

​

With a focus on career planning, workshops, and networking opportunities, MYF Aspire goes beyond conventional initiatives by organising impactful careers fairs, engaging sessions, and providing invaluable services such as CV and personal statement checking.

MYF Aspire stands as a beacon of guidance and assistance, embodying a commitment to nurturing talent and facilitating meaningful connections in the pursuit of professional success.

Health & Wellbeing

MYF is dedicated to promoting and enhancing health and wellbeing within the community through a proactive and holistic approach.

​

We actively collaborate with local organisations to implement health awareness schemes. These schemes incorporate opportunistic health screening, ensuring that individuals have access to timely and crucial health assessments.

​

Complementing this, we conduct community education programs that empower individuals with essential knowledge about maintaining a healthy lifestyle. We organise workshops facilitated by expert speakers and health professionals, providing invaluable insights into various aspects of wellbeing.

By fostering these collaborations and educational opportunities, MYF strives to create a healthier and more informed community, contributing to the overall well-being and vitality of individuals.

Sports & Recreational

MYF is committed to promoting an active and healthy lifestyle through our focus on sports & recreational activities.


A cornerstone of our efforts is the organisation of a vibrant weekly youth club (club313), providing a dynamic space for young individuals to engage in a variety of activities, including table tennis, pool games, and board games alongside their religious education.


In addition, we actively foster a sense of teamwork and competition through our 5-a-side football league (League 313), offering the youth an opportunity to participate in regular sports activities.


Recognising the benefits of outdoor exploration, we organise invigorating hikes that not only encourage physical activity but also connect participants with nature, their community and allow opportunity for reflection and spirituality.


Beyond these regular activities, the MYF takes pride in hosting diverse sporting competitions, promoting inclusivity and fostering a spirit of healthy competition. Through these initiatives, we aim to create a supportive and active community, empowering individuals to lead balanced and fulfilling lives.
