kkHow to be a Muslim youth in this world of civilization
Who is a Muslim? One who is of the Islamic Faith.
Who is a youth? Childhood, Adolescent, Teenage or a Young Adult.
What is Islam? Islam means Pease and total submission to the will of Allah,
Allah is Arabic meaning for GOD.
Let us look out for the underline words Pease and Total Submission
Pease: - the nearest in meaning are
Be in order
Harmony
Total Submission: - the nearest in meaning are
Obedience
Compliance and
Surrender
Giving in
Now as a Muslim youth how do you keep Pease and submit yourself totally to the will of Allah? There is this word I really want us to put into consideration, to me I think the word has broken down the true meaning of being a Muslim, the word is “Will”
Will: - the nearest in meaning are
Determination,
Motivation
Self-control
Strength of Character, if you look at the selected words nearest in meaning to the word will, you will understand the through meaning of Islam and who a Muslim is, some one who is motivated and determine, these two words give him the strength of character, he/she have is highly disciplined (self-control)
Talking about character you will be having in mind the word attitude and behavioral pertan. So people see you as a model or a role model in the society and you are well respected.
They even correct you when ever you are going contrary to all the above.
With all of the above explanation you will agree with me that a Muslim is a true personality to be with and any time he show’s up, people see him/her as an ideal human been.
A Muslim youth; Now as teen ager, an adolescent or as young adult, this is the best time in your life to unleash your potential, have fun and the best of your ability will be put to test, what am I talking about? YES! You are full of talents, Intelligent, Smart and full of energy BUT YOU ARE A MUSLIM, Ho! Won’t I have fun? WHY ALL THIS SERIOUSNESS? No one is stopping you from having fun, as a Muslim youth, like any other youth, you’ve got your potentials too, so you are free to express your GOD given talent, but as a Muslim you have to do all you want or intend to do with all sense of modesty.
As a Muslim youth,
you do not take alcohol
you don’t join Gangs
you don’t do drugs
you don't dress to expose the sensitive part of your body etc.
Ever wonder why people of other faith see Muslims as been too extreme? Muslims are not extremist. We are just people of good behavior who like to enjoy what is good and forbid what is bad, (be in order) because in everything we do we are worshiping, BIS-MIN-LLAHI RAMONI RAHIM comes first in everything we do and ALHAM-DU-LIL-LLAHI when we are done with it. Ma-Sallam.
