The Global Islamic Youth Centre (GIYC) was established in July of 2000 by a handful of Brothers seeking Allah’s Pleasure by establishing a centre encompassing the needs of the local Islamic Community. Hence the vision was to cater for the physical, social, educational and religious needs, especially for the youth and the children ,in accordance with the teachings of the Qur’an and Sunnah and hence to gain the pleasure of the Almighty Creator.

Our aim was to establish regular activities and provide services that will benefit the community. By doing this as an Ummah we would also positively contribute to the larger Australian Community as a whole and hence eliminate any negative perceptions .

The main focus of GIYC is the Muslim youth and to cater for the wider community. There is a definite need in todays society to combat various evils and bad distractions for our young generation. With this in mind, GIYC was conceived as an alternative that is both appealing and stimulating to the youth.

he objective was to attract the youth to the centre in order for them to develop their physical, mental, social and religious character, through various forms of interaction and provide a learning ground for those students seeking the correct knowledge according to Qur’an and Sunnah.

GIYC caters for both male and female from as young as 6 months of age through to adulthood. Activities start from Fajr and are varied as stated on the timetable.

The daily running of GIYC is done on a voluntary basis. Thus, all the administration, teaching, training etc, is provided by individuals who are making a sacrifice to improve the future of the Muslim generations of Sydney, in particular the greater Liverpool area. Hopefully this could be a model that could be emulated in other areas of New South Wales, interstate and overseas.
