Al Hidayah 2010 is expecting 1300 young people 80% of them between the age group of 14-35 and it is a unique and one of the first anti-terror camps in the UK. Al Hidayah 2010 aims to tackle extremism and clarify key concepts which British youth are currently facing including jihad, khilafah, terrorism etc. Too often the younger generation, especially in the West, is exposed to shallow religious rhetoric in the guise of Islamic teachings. Al-Hidayah aims to rectify this by organising gatherings in the company of Islamic scholars who follow in the classical tradition of Islam. This will ensure that attractive slogans by extremists are rebutted and young Muslims are equipped with ideological arguments to counter extremists. Shaykh-ul-Islam
