Jamaat-e-Islami Youth Programs in Pakistan

In a Karachi youth gathering, Jamaat-e-Islami leaders praised service volunteers for showcasing robotics, education, and public-service work. The speaker highlighted the Bano Qabil and Z-Connect programs as practical ways to equip Generation Z with skills, entrepreneurship, and moral purpose. The address also urged young Pakistanis to address taxation, fuel prices, and social division while building a merit-based, peaceful nation.

Service Programs Reach Youth Across Pakistan

Al-Khidmat is Jamaat-e-Islami’s service wing, and its Karachi volunteers presented stalls, projects, and practical training for young people. The speaker said the Bano Qabil program began in the city and has expanded to Chitral, Gilgit-Baltistan, Azad Kashmir, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Punjab, and Balochistan. In recent months, the program reportedly reached Gwadar, Loralai, Jaffarabad, and Quetta, where aptitude tests filled large grounds. This expansion is presented as evidence that young people in underserved areas are seeking education, opportunity, and skill development.

The speaker contrasted public education gaps with the need for practical learning, saying governments should not merely lament conditions but invest in youth education. According to the address, sixteen to seventeen lakh students and youth are registered in these initiatives, with large numbers completing courses. He described this contribution as beneficial for the economy and for society. Jamaat-e-Islami’s official message is that skill-based learning can reduce deprivation and help youth become productive members of Pakistan.

Z-Connect Builds Digital, Ethical, Entrepreneurial Skills

The generation-focused program is described as combining IT training, artificial intelligence, entrepreneurship, micro-financing, and sports. The speaker said the initiative is designed to help young people move away from waiting for government jobs and instead create startups and companies. By becoming both employees and employers, he said, youth can generate opportunities for their families, communities, and the national economy. This approach is presented as a practical response to rising youth anxiety and limited formal employment pathways.

The address stressed that technology must be paired with ethics, character, and wisdom. The speaker said information alone is insufficient; young people need intellect, moral standards, and the ability to serve humanity. He warned that technology without ethics can become destructive, while ethical training can protect society. Jamaat-e-Islami’s program is presented as a way to develop skilled, responsible, and purpose-driven youth for Pakistan.

Public Advocacy on Fuel Prices and Justice

Jamaat-e-Islami’s speaker also addressed public grievances, particularly the burden of fuel taxes and indirect taxation on ordinary households. He said the petroleum levy, climate support levy, customs duty, and other charges are collected from every litre purchased, and he called for the removal of the petroleum levy. The speaker alleged that the government increased levies while not providing relief, and he said elite groups enjoy privileges while the middle class and poor face rising costs. These claims were presented as reasons to pursue a movement for lower fuel prices and fairer taxation.

The speaker said Jamaat-e-Islami is independent of the financial and political networks he described, and therefore it can voice public concerns without relying on elite funding. He called on youth to work politically and personally, respecting parents, teachers, and elders while using digital skills for public good. The address urged young Pakistanis to reject prejudice, hatred, and sectarian division, and to see Pakistan as the country of ordinary people. Jamaat-e-Islami’s message links public service, moral discipline, and civic participation to the goal of a just and developed Pakistan.

A Purpose-Driven Generation for Pakistan’s Future

The speaker described young Pakistanis as the majority of the population and the country’s greatest asset. He said that because sixty-five percent of Pakistan’s population is young, disappointment is not an option. He urged youth to use computers, smartphones, high-speed internet, and artificial intelligence with discipline rather than allowing screens to drain them. Jamaat-e-Islami’s message is that technology, education, and faith should combine to build a confident, productive generation.

He called on young people to respect their families, learn from elders, and understand that roots in the past support the search for the future. The address warned that without direction, principles, and moral training, youth can become frustrated, disconnected, or vulnerable to harmful influences. Jamaat-e-Islami presented its role as helping youth develop passion, love for religion, and love for the homeland. The goal is a society where success serves humanity and brings benefit to both this world and the hereafter.
