Muslim Youth Musings is a literary non-profit organization committed to empowering young Muslims to be forerunners in thoughtful reflection by fostering community, mentoring writers, and publishing literature. Established in 2007, MYM has expanded into a space where Muslims come home to reflect – from heartfelt stories about family, to memoirs grappling with identity, to poems that ponder faith, to essays that explore innermost feelings.
