The vision of Bois2Men BootCamp was born from the long-held concern of our patron, Abū Sumayyah, who for many years has been passionate about the rectification and proper upbringing of Muslim youth. Witnessing the challenges of today’s generation — distractions, weak role models, and the loss of Islamic identity — he consistently emphasized the need for practical, faith-based initiatives that reconnect boys to their roots.

Under his guidance and encouragement, the idea of a residential BootCamp dedicated to boys and young adults came to life under the umbrella of Al-Khairy Foundation for Education & Development. The aim was simple yet profound: to nurture boys with īmān, discipline, and responsibility, equipping them to grow into men who will serve their families, communities, and the Ummah at large.

In August 2025, this vision materialized into the maiden edition of the Bois2Men BootCamp. Around 50 boys from different states came together, guided by scholars, students of knowledge, and Muslim professionals. Over four days, they experienced structured learning, worship, mentorship, and recreational activities — all deeply rooted in the Qur’ān and Sunnah.

The impact was undeniable. Parents testified to transformations in their sons, mentors called for continuity, and participants left with a renewed sense of identity and purpose.

This mission is firmly grounded in the reminder of the Prophet ﷺ who said:

“The feet of the son of Ādam will not move on the Day of Judgment until he is asked about his life and how he spent it, his youth and how he used it, his wealth and how he earned and spent it, and his knowledge and how he acted upon it.”
(al-Tirmidhī, 2416)

Bois2Men BootCamp is our humble effort to help young Muslim boys prepare for that question — to use their youth in the service of Allāh, to embody discipline and responsibility, and to grow into men who will carry Islam with pride and purpose.

Today, Bois2Men stands as the beginning of an ongoing legacy — a growing initiative committed to producing responsible Muslim men for tomorrow’s Ummah, by Allāh’s permission.
