Spiritual Fitness Camps (SFC) are a nationwide, one-day initiative designed primarily for youth ages 15–25, both boys and girls.

Each SFC should ideally be led by the local missionary. However, a knowledgeable and engaging member may also serve as the facilitator. For sessions involving female participants, please coordinate with Sadr Lajna to identify a female facilitator with whom the girls feel comfortable engaging openly.

SFCs follow a structured, interactive format focused on active youth participation. Do not include speeches or one-way presentations. Instead, emphasize hands-on learning:

   •   Engage attendees through questions, and challenge them to find answers using Alislam.org or other online official Jamaat platforms.

   •   Guide them in practicing essential Tarbiyat activities such as properly performing Wuzu, Tayammum, Iqamah, and observing Islamic etiquettes related to eating, speaking, and personal conduct.

Our youth has questions and is at risk of disengagement. Majlis-e-Shura recommended Spiritual Fitness camps to be conducted to engage the youth through dialogue, sports, field trips, and friendships. 

Hazrat Khalifatul Masih Ayyadahullāhu Ta‘ālā Bi-Naṣrih-il-‘Azīz has frequently and repeatedly drawn our attention to the fact that our Youth need Attention and the responsibilities and conduct of higher moral excellence of office-bearers in this regard…Huzoor is entrusting us with the Tarbiyat of the next generation…this is taken from Huzoor’s Friday Sermon of August 16, 2013 as referenced in the booklet “I Solemnly Pledge”

“It is vitally important that our youth understands what our religion is and why we are commanded to do and to avoid certain things…the questions raised by our younger generation should be answered by the responsible members of the Community in a nice and engaging manner.” (Friday Sermon August 16, 2013)
