Youths Problems – Issues That Affect Young People

IIPH is pleased to offer this new and revised 2nd English edition of Youth’s Problems: Issues that Affect Young People Discussed in Light of the Qur’an and the Sunnah. Young people are humanity’s future wealth. They offer hope and strength to their nations and the directions they take in their lives determine the fate of their people. Understanding, addressing, and solving their problems and worries are thus of utmost importance for all members of society. In this unique and lucid booklet, the revered contemporary scholar, Shaykh Muhammad al-ʻUthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him), addresses some of the ideological and sociological challenges faced by modern youth. Starting with an astute description of the state of modern young adults, he outlines major issues hindering their progress on the straight path of Islam. He not only covers current issues such as joblessness, estrangement between the young and their elders, and keeping good company but also discusses subjects like predestination and the limits Islam places on individuals. In all instances, al-ʻUthaymeen draws on the Qur’an and the authentic Sunnah to offer tangible solutions and to inspire the hearts of young people. The simplicity and straightforwardness of this work make even complicated issues easy to grasp. The wise advice the author offers is not only well-presented but practical and compassionate. This book will benefit not only the young of society but their parents and educators as well.
