Prophet’s Model For Youth Leadership | Gaza ”Ceasefire” | Sheikh Omar Hajjaj

In this episode of the Narrative House Podcast, we sit with a Palestinian community leader and youth mentor who reflects on faith, family and resistance through deeply personal experience. He shares the story of his grandmother, born in pre-’48 Jerusalem, whose displacement during the Nakba and lifelong devotion to Allah shaped his own understanding of character and iman. The conversation moves through the often-ignored British role in Palestine, the rise of Zionist militias and the limitations of narratives presented in films like Palestine ’36. We explore his founding of Yasin Youth and how immersive trips to Makkah and Madinah, alongside youth centres, sports programmes, mentoring and counselling, have transformed the lives of young Muslims in the UK. He explains the real challenges facing today’s youth and why empathy, presence and prophetic character are essential to guiding them.
