Abu Zaid Tunkara, a QIYADA ambassador and Grade 12 student, emphasized that the conference bridges theory and practice through interactive workshops that cultivate critical thinking and decision-making abilities.\n\nTunkara highlighted the importance of religious education in building intellectual resilience and understanding of one's identity, stating that knowledge grounded in both rational and scriptural evidence serves as a shield against the overwhelming ideas of today's youth. He also praised poetry as a powerful tool for connecting young people with cultural and religious values, describing it as an educational and cultural medium capable of touching hearts and reaching the depths of the human spirit.",
