Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh,

Greeting for Global Youth!

There is a saying that goes The Youth are The Leaders of Tomorrow. It is very simple wording but

has deep meaning. We have to realize that the current leaders will not lead forever. There is

regeneration of leaders time to time. So, the future depends on the current youth. The youth that

will become the leaders of tomorrow.

As the world has been developing so fast until now which is the era of globalization where the

world has no boundaries, interaction between people has increased. It has the potential to gather

solidarities as well as giving benefits to each other. There is an opportunity to gather youth from

countries and prepare them to be future global leaders. This is the background of The Indonesia

International Leadership Camp Al-Azhar Youth Leader Institute.

Through an integrated training which includes self-development, leadership, strategic

management, communication skills as well as physical and cultural exchange, IILC AYLI is a

complete package for the youth to gain their skills and knowledge to be global leaders. It has been

done twice in 2011 and 2012. Now we challenge you, do you dare to be future global leaders?

Wassalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.

The word Indonesia is coined from the latin

word Indos, which means India and Nesos, which

means Island. Both words mean Island of India, or island

existing in India. And even those two words are suitable with

Indonesias condition having 17,508 islands, in where about

6,000 islands are occupied which are stretching along 5,510

kilometers between Australia and the Asian continent and

divides the Pacific and Indian ocean on the equator line.

Indonesia comprises 34 provinces, has five big

and main islands, named Sumatera (473,606 km2),

Kalimantan (539,400 km2), Sulawesi (189,216 km2), Papua

(421,981 km2), and Java (132, 187 km2). These five islands

are occupied by about 70% of Indonesian People.

Geographically, Indonesia is also grouped into four specific territories. The first one is Sunda besar (big

sunda) consisting of Sumatera, Java, Kalimantan and Sulawesi. The second one is Sunda kecil (Small Sunda) comprising

smaller islands ranging from Bali island to the east territory. Third, Maluku Island covering all islands situated between

Papua and Sulawesi territory. The last is Papua, the island situated in the most eastern part of Indonesia (the Western half

of Papua New Guinea).

The capital city of Indonesia is Jakarta, a city with impressive histories and backgrounds. As the capital city

of the nation, Jakarta also plays the role as the governmental center, business and industrial hub. The city with 660

kilometers width is occupied by about 10 million people and now Jakarta is growing as the metropolitan city that reflects

the advancement of the nation economic, politic, social and industry.

Indonesia is the largest archipelago country in the world with a population of around 230 million

people. Across its many islands, Indonesia consists of distinct ethnic, linguistic, and religious groups.

The Javanese are the largest and the most politically dominant ethnic group.

Due to the fact that the Muslim youth nowadays are facing many challenges which encourage them to improve their

competency. But, according to the leadership point of view they havent been optimal in demonstrating the active role

in advancing the Islamic civilization and achieving the glory of Islam in the world. It can be seen from the low intensity

of Muslim youth activity to answer the problems of Islamic civilization and its deterioration. On the other hand, there

are many Muslim youth who are busy with their own targets, which is self oriented and doesnt reflect their basic

obligation as caliphs in the world.

This scourge can cause dissolution of future generation who are capable of leading the transition of Muslims, or what

we call "Lost Translation". As a result, the future of Islam may be in a slump.

To avoid that possibility, we on behalf of Al-Azhar Youth Leader Institute (AYLI) intends to conduct an activity which

not only able to raise the fighting spirit of Muslim youth but also give them provisions of leading the future Islamic

civilization through Leadership and Islamic Guidance. We perceive it as very important to hold Indonesia

International Leadership Camp as an event to train prospective young future leaders of Islam, with both theory and

applications. Thus, they could contribute to the development of Islamic civilization.

This leadership camp will not only provide theory about leadership and management, but also an understanding of

how important Al Quran and As Sunnah are as a living guide, how to read Al Quran (Qiraah) and martial arts as a

provision of self defense. In the end, we wish there will be Muslim youth who have Islamic fighting spirit and

knowledge and physical strength.

Leadership Learning

Who is the leader? What is leadership? How to lead? As the next future world

leader, you should know who a leader is and what does leadership mean. In this

IILC 2014 you will know the identity of a leader and how to lead. The teachers

who master in the leadership field will guide you and teach you how to lead

through learning in class and daily practice.

Strategic Management Learning

A Leader has his/her own purposes (mission and vision) which will be achieved together

with his/her members. The achievements of this goal will be done by designing

management strategies, then implementing it. One management strategy which is

widespread all around the world is the Balanced Scorecard. AYLI (Al-azhar Youth

Leader Institute) uses this system to achieve the mission and the vision. In IILC 2014

you will learn what Balanced Scorecard is, and how to formulate it.

Communication Technic Learning

There is a proverb that says, A man could rule the world through his words. From

that proverb, we know the power of communication can influence others to do what we

want. Do not ever hesitate to follow this event, because you will be taught about the

techniques of communicating, not only the theory but also practice. Prepare yourself to

The Entrepreneurial learning

AYLIs members are required to be independent. This independence is realized with the

entrepreneurial activities. In IILC you will not only get the theories about entrepreneurship, but

also you will practice the entrepreneurial skill on the field. We expect that IILC participants will

not only be independent with their own businesses, but also will become successful

entrepreneurs in the future. Prepare to be successful people!

Entrepreneurship is one great activity to train our leadership abilities. Ranging from planning,

setting up, implementation, and control, which all managerial parts are applied. In addition, the

product marketing function is to train our communication skills. Yes, we are going to learn to be

entrepreneurs. Do not hope you will study a wide range of entrepreneurial theory. We will

practice it directly on the field! Do you see it as challenging? Of course!

Islamic Learning

Being a skillful leader is not enough, we need basic religion. Islam as a comprehensive religion sets

all lines of human life. Islam also arranges how to fulfill the responsibilities of a leader and how to do

leadership. In IILC 2014, the participants will be given commentaries from the Quran and As-Sunnah

as sources that will become the basis of a leader. This reminds us that being a leader has the

responsibility of the world and also the hereafter. Through this event, we expect to be the rise

momentum of Islam through the youth in all over the world.

Practicing Pencak Silat

Pencak silat is characteristic martial arts in Indonesia. In Pencak Silat, there are a lot of

values that teach philosophy at the subtlety of manners in courage. It should be possesed by

every leader. In IILC, you will learn Pencak Silat. Therefore, we hope that all of you not only

become intelligent leaders, but also become physically strong leaders. Leaders that are

gentle in manners and brave in actions.

The Art of Reading the Quran (Qiraah)

AYLI has competent Qiraah teachers. One of our teachers is an Indonesian

national Qori. Through Qiraah, we expect participants to learn the art of

reading Al-Quran and gain more interest in it.

Cultural Arts Night

Each Country, thus has the art of their respective cultures. One country may even

have different cultures in each province. In IILC 2014, the participants will perform

the art from their countries so that the participants will know each others cultures.

(QS. Al Hujurat: 13)

Travelling

Do you think IILC 2014 consists of some boring learning in class only? Of course

not! For the first five days we will visit some interesting places in Indonesia (Jakarta

& West Java). The places that will be visited include museums, Mosques/Islamic

historical places, tourism, media offices, communities (kampung) and agricultural

land. So, lets feel the sensation of living in Indonesia.

Bahasa Indonesia

We cannot forget to introduce Bahasa Indonesia (Indonesian Language). The

language that becomes a unifying language of hundreds of local languages

spread over 17,000 islands in Indonesia.

YOUTH LEADER

Leadership

To be leaders, we must understand and apply

the basic conceptual of what a leader is. When

we learn about leadership, it is not about having

as many followers as we can, but it is about

how we can be a role model for our followers.

Like Rasulullah SAW has taught us, a leader is

the man in the front who are sacrifices more

than the followers.

Management

When we already have good leadership characteristics, it is not enough. To manage

and control people and organizations we need tools. One of those important tool is

management. The kind of management that we will learn is the Strategic Management

Balance Scorecard system. It is the latest and most commonly used management

system in the multinational companies or even governmental organizations.

Communication

If you ever heard or read that long time ago we could find some leader that has good

speaking skill whom thousands or even millions of people would listen every time he

made a speech, it is because they have good communication skills. To be on that level,

we must understand what the people feel, what they want to be and what their needs

are. We must be good at listening. Thats why in the first theme we learn about building

a good listener in you.

Entrepreneurship

Entrepreneurship has a big relation to leadership, management and even

communication. So, the most important thing that we can get by learning and practicing

entrepreneurship is that we can applicate all skills of a leader.

Islamic

Islam teaches us to be good leaders. The Prophet Muhammad SAW has showed us how

to lead the ummah for more than 20 years. As Muslims, we must live with Al-Quran and

As-Sunnah as the guidance.

Testimonies

Mogammad Ammar De La Rey (Johaneshburg, SouthAfrica) IILC Participant 2012/2013

AYLI is my family. In December 2011 I met the most amazing group of people in Indonesia. They are the most friendliest,

loving, caring people you can ever find. When joining the leadership camp with AYLI I have learned many new things.

These things that I have learned included things that I will need to know in future and at present. I am very proud to say

that I have very wonderful family on other side of the world. Here in South Africa things are different. AYLI took really good

care of us South Africans when we visited their wonderful country. They provide us with whatever we needed and

whatever we wanted. I cannot wait to visit my family (AYLI) in Indonesia at the end of this year, INSYA ALLAH.

Afsal L. Apon (Suriname) IILC Participant 2013

Alhamdulillah, all the praises and thanks be to Allah, that I joined IILC. My stay in Indonesia was a whole other exciting

experience. Not only did I benefit from the training, but I made very great friends who always cared for me in the best way

possible. I now have a broader view of what leadership is and everything around. The things that I learned and practiced

at the camp is something that hopefully will help me further my studies, my life and insha Alloh becoming a great leader

someday.

The great thing about IILC is, that it is organized by only the youth and that is something that got me inspired. I certainly

take a sample of their encouragement and Im willingly to do the same in my country. Insha Alloh I would definitely go

again to the next IILC when I have the chance.

Hafizu Al-Ghifary (Indonesia) IILC Participant 2013

To be honest the Indonesia International Leadership Camp was a great training and event I have taken. During two

weeks, we gathered in one place from all over the world and united our mindset learning about leadership according to

Islam and western studies. It is really good for us as the youth to take part in such an event. We learned materials such

as students in college learn. So, what are you waiting for?
