On Friday 03 June, over 250 young Muslims met their footy favourite Adam Saad.
Carlton Football Club superstar Adam Saad joined ICMG Youth Australia and the youth community to discuss footy, faith and his journey.
Overwhelmed by the experience and turnout from the youth, “I’m truly pinching myself to see the turnout mashAllah, it’s quite amazing,” said Saad.
Our youth were amazed and motivated by Adam’s story of passion, discipline, hard work and, most importantly, faith in Allah (SWT). Saad also highlighted the importance of being true to your culture and identity. “Be proud of who you are as a Muslim and your identity and be a good person with good character”, said Saad. Saad added about speaking out about your religious values and beliefs wherever you are, “They [Carlton Football Club] have been really supportive, like I mentioned be true to yourself and have those conversations”.
Highlights of the evening included the Q&A with our young audience, merchandise prizes won at our Handball Challenge and the sausage sizzle sponsored by Hasene Australia.
ICMG Youth Australia sincerely thanks Adam Saad for joining the community at ICMG Meadow Heights Mosque for an unforgettable event and in the hope to pursue with more collaborations.
