Assalamu’alaikum Warahmatullahi

Wabarakatuh,
Greeting for Future Global Leaders!
The future is ours. It belongs to all today’s
youth! However, we will face many challenges in the
future. The challenges of which are not small but are
very huge. We can’t do anything except prepare
ourselves with good competency and optimal skills in
order to continue the leadership in the future.
Reason being is because the youth of today, are the
leaders of tomorrow. Instead of only preparing
ourselves for future, we also develop ourselves and
improve our own quality. This means that we also
prepare the best future for our families, our country,
our religion (Islam), and even the world.
We are part of the world, and therefore have to take responsibility for the world’s future. In this era
of globalization, distance is not an obstacle. Although we are separated by distance, we should still have one
mission, which is of course to create a brighter future for our world. Indonesia International Leadership
Camp (IILC) within Al Azhar Youth Leader Institute (AYLI), challenge the youths from many countries to
start their journeys to become leaders. This is a very long and hard journey to push ourselves to be of the
best quality. IILC is an integrated program for intellectual, spiritual, and also physical aspects. This program
is designed for those who want to become future global leaders.
This wonderful event also contains the opportunity to experience the beautiful cultures and amazing
nature of Indonesia. Don’t hesitate! Take the opportunity and prepare your selves to start taking your first
step into becoming future global leaders! Now or Never!
Wassalammu’alaikum Warahmatullah Wabarakatuh

 Muslim youths are the milestone generation of Islam’s glory in the future. They are expected to
bring back the greatness of Islam as it was during the eras of the prophet Muhammad SAW’s leadership,
Umayyad Empire, the Abbasid Empire, and the Ottoman Empire.
Muslim youths nowadays are facing many challenges which encourage them to improve their
leadership competency. But, according to the leadership point of view there hasn’t been optimal
demonstration of 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 youths activity to answer the problems of Islamic
civilization and its deterioration. On the other hand, there are many Muslim youths who are busy with
their own targets which are self-oriented and do not reflect the basic obligations 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) intend to conduct an
activity which not only able to raise the fighting spirit of Muslim youths 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 provide theory about leadership and management as well as an
understanding of how important Al Qur’an and As Sunnah are as a living guide, how to read Al Qur’an
(Qira’ah) and martial arts as a provision of self-defense. In the end, we hope there will be Muslim
youths who will gain Islamic fighting spirit, knowledge and physical strength.
The Indonesia International leadership Camp 2014 is a 10-day quarantine program which consists of
the interesting and inspiring activities that will enable youths to become the next future leaders. Being
“A Leader” requires many skills such as leadership, communication, strategic management. You will
receive those skills in “Indonesia International Leadership Camp 2016” which contains exciting, fun and
full of knowledgeable activities as well as unforgettable experiences. Islamic Youths around the world,
prepare yourselves. Here are several materials that you will gain in IILC.
Who is a leader? What is leadership? How to lead? As the next
future world leader, you should know who a leader is and what
leadership means. In this IILC 2016 you will know the identity of a
leader and how to lead.
There is a saying that goes, “A man could rule the world through his words”. From that proverb, we
know that the power of communication can influence others to do what we want. Do not hesitate to
follow this event, because you will get the theory of communication as well as the practice.
Prepare yourselves to rule the world!
AYLI’s members are required to be independent. This independence is realized with the
entrepreneurial activities. In IILC you will not only obtain the theories about entrepreneurship, but you
will also practice the entrepreneurial skills on the field. Through IILC , we enc our age the
par tic ipa nts to b e independent with their own business a s well a s succ essful people
in future . Entrepreneurship is one great activity to train our leadership abilities. All managerial parts
are applied ranging from planning, setting up, implementation, and control. In addition, the product
marketing function is to train our communication skills.

Yes, we are going to learn to be entrepreneurs. H o w e v e r , Do not hope you will study a
wide range of entrepreneurial practice directly on the field! Do you see the challenges? Absolutely!
 AYLI has competent Qira’ah
teachers. One of our teachers is
an Indonesian national Qori
(reciter of Qur’an). Through
Qira’ah, we expect participants to
learn the art of reading Al-Qur’an
and gain more interest in it.
 Pencak Silat is a
significant martial art
in Indonesia. In Pencak
Silat, there are a lot of
values that teach
philosophy through the
subtlety of manners in
courage. It should be
possesed by every
leader. In IILC, you will
learn Pencak Silat.
Thus through Pencak
Silat we take you to be
an intelligent leader as
well as strong
physically. Leaders
who are gentle in
manners and brave in
actions!
Do you think IILC 2016 consists of some boring formal classes 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 are museums, mosques/Islamic historical places, tourism, media offices, communities (kampung)
and agricultural land. So, let’s feel the sensation of living in Indonesia!
Each country has the art of their respective cultures. One country may have
different cultures in each province. In IILC 2016, the participants will
perform the art from their countries so that the participants will know each
other’s cultures. (Q.S. Al Hujurat: 13)
