Al Hidayah (organisation)

Al-Hidayah (meaning "The Guidance") Al-Hidayah, is a series of annual summer camps organised by Minhaj-ul-Quran International Minhaj-ul-Quran UK. Initially focused on spiritual development and Islamic scholarship, Al-Hidayah later expanded to actively counter extremist ideologies, promoting peaceful integration and social engagement within Western societies, and developing future leadership among British young Muslims. The camps feature lectures by prominent scholars, including Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri, alongside workshops designed to equip young Muslims with practical skills. While the first such youth camp was organised in Glasgow in 2004, the camp was officially inaugurated as Al-Hidayah from 2005 onwards.

Al-Hidayah has mainly been held as an annual three-day residential retreat at various locations in the United Kingdom. Exceptions to this were Al-Hidayah 2017, which was held in both in the UK and Norway, Al-Hidayah 2018, which was held at Fletcher Hotel Doorwerth-Arnhem in Arnhem, and Al-Hidayah 2024, which was held in Australia.
