About SYC

Our mission

Siraj Youth Community (SYC) connects Muslim professionals and business owners through trusted referrals, shared values, and practical support. The Community Directory makes it easy to discover verified members, pass quality leads, and grow together.

Our values

• Amanah (Trustworthiness)

  We refer only when we can stand behind the connection. Profiles are verified and kept current.

• Ihsan (Excellence)

  Members deliver professional work that reflects well on the whole community.

• Ukhuwah (Brotherhood & Sisterhood)

  We prioritize relationships over transactions and support one another's growth.

• Service

  Skills and businesses exist to benefit the ummah and the wider community we live in.

• Transparency

  Clear expectations on referrals, listings, and how the directory is moderated.

Our story

SYC began as a youth-led initiative to help young Muslims navigate careers and entrepreneurship. As the network grew across British Columbia, members asked for a single place to find trusted accountants, doctors, developers, and real estate professionals.

The Community Directory launched as a static, admin-curated listing — simple to operate, fast to browse on mobile, and aligned with how SYC already shares referrals in WhatsApp groups. Today it complements in-person mixers, referral bundles, and the broader SYC newsletter.
