Breaking records and building brotherhood in the Bronx!
We are thrilled to announce that the Bronx chapter (Majlis) recently held a historic local Ijtema (youth gathering), reaching a record-breaking attendance of 26 young men ranging from ages 10 to 30+!
It was an incredible, action-packed day. On the field and at the lanes, teams competed in soccer, cricket, and bowling. The best part? Many who had never met or played together quickly bonded, turning strangers into teammates.
That amazing spirit of brotherhood carried over into lunch and dinner, where we shared great food, lots of laughs, and meaningful conversations.
Beyond the sports, our youth pushed their comfort zones in our educational and religious competitions. While many admitted to feeling nervous initially, they walked away feeling a deep sense of accomplishment, spiritual growth, and a stronger understanding of their faith.
A special thank you to our brothers from the neighboring Queens and Long Island chapters for coming out to show their support. Your presence made this memorable day even more special.
Overall, it was a truly historic day for the Bronx—focused on unity, spirituality, and learning from one another!
