What is SIST?
SIST is a series of competitive events and contests designed to test and push skills such as articulation and creative writing, art and design, Islamic knowledge and athletic prowess.
Through these competitions, we wish to provide the young generation with a venue to explore their varied talents and to re-discover their rich culture and roots. In an era where everything from our values, ideals, and beliefs to our aspirations and goals are shrouded with false attires and where some youth may find hindrances to future success, we believe that hosting such events and opening such opportunities for the youth is an honorable responsibility. Furthermore, the event will also serve as an opportunity for students from different institutions to meet and exchange ideas.
Our objective – with the two-day event, our aim is to provide a platform for the young minds who are trying to find their place in society to engage in intellectual discourse, and to come to the realization that Islam is a way of life – a way of life that can and should be incorporated into everything we do.
Day 1 and the first part of Day 2 will feature competitive events; the rest of day 2 will be dedicated solely to food-for-thought talks by some very inspirational speakers and scholars. We're looking forward to having you!
Each year, with a new theme, we want the participants of SIST to discover that Islam is not a roadblock to professional success and in fact it is strong imaan that paves the path for all accomplishments - both in this life and the hereafter.
