Youth the pride of ummah


Youth the pride of ummah

RIGHTLY GUIDED YOUTH?

Youth who firmly believe in all the implications
of the Kalimah (the Shahadah)T. hey firmly
believe in their Deen (Religion). Iman (Faith) is
beloved to them and they are content and
satisfied with their Iman. They consider
acquiring Iman as a profit and deprivation from
it as a big loss.
Youth who worship Allah sincerely. They worship
Allah Alone Who has no partner.
Youth who follow the Messenger sallallahu alayhi
wasallam practically in his speech and action,
because they believe that he is the Messenger of
Allah and the leader of all Messengers.
Youth who establish Salah (Prayer) perfectly to
the best of their ability, because they believe in
the benefit and the religious, worldly and social
merit found in prayer and the dangerous
consequences of neglecting Salih for both the
individual and the nation.
Youth who give Zakat in full to those who are
deserving of it, because they believe that Zakat
fulfils the needs of Islam and it is one of the five
pillars of Isl8m.
Youth who fast during the month of Ramadhan.
They stop themselves from their desires and
cravings, whether it is summer or winter because
they believe that actions are for the Pleasure of
Allah. Thus, they give preference to that which
pleases Allah over that which they desire.
Youth who perform the compulsory duty of Hajj
(Pilgrimage) to the Sacred House of Allah and
they love going to the places of His Mercy and
Forgiveness and collaborating with their Muslim
brothers who come to these places.
Youth who believe in Allah, the Creator of the
skies and the earth, because they see from
amongst the Signs of Allah that which leaves no
doubt even for a moment whatsoever in the
Existence and Being of Allah. They see in this
vast unique universe, in the form and system of
the universe that which clearly indicates towards
the existence of it's Creator and His Total Power
and Complete Wisdom, because it is not possible
for this universe to come into existence on it's
own, nor is it possible for it to come into
existence coincidentally. The reason for this is
that the universe was non-existent before it was
brought into existence, and that which is nonexistent
cannot bring anything into existence,
because it is itself non-existent. It is not possible
that the universe came into existence
coincidentally because it has a unique well arranged
system, which does not change nor
variatey from the procedure predestined for it.
"You will neverfind a
change in the System of Allah." (33:62)
"You will never find any reversal
in the System ofA1lah." (35:43)
"You will not see in the Creation of the Most
Gracious any disparity, so turn your vision again.
Do you see any rupture? Then turn your vision
again, a second time, your vision will return to
you dull and in a state of fatigue." (67:3-4)
The fact that this universe has a unique, well arranged
system, prevents it's existence being
coincidental. That which is in existence
coincidentally will also have a system which is
coincidental, which is likely to change or be
disturbed in a short period of time.
Youth who believe in the Angels of Allah because
Allah has given information regarding them (the
angels) in His Book (the Qur'an) and His
Messenger sallallahu alayhi wasallam has given
information regarding them in the Sunnah (the
Traditions). The Quran and Sunnah explain
their qualities, their worship and their actions to
which they rigidly stick to for the goodness of the
creation. This clearly points to the existence of
the angels.
Youth who believe in the Books of Allah. Allah
revealed these books to His Messengers as a
source of guidance for the creation towards the
Straight Path. It is not possible for the mind of
man to understand the intricacies of worship
and social life except with the Books of Allah.
Youth who believe in the Prophets and
Messengers of Allah whom Allah sent to His
Creation to call them towards good and enjoin
them with good and prevent them from evil so
that people do not have proof against Allah after
the sending of the Prophets. The last Messenger
was Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam.
Youth who believe in the last day in which people
will be resurrected after dying, so that they may
be compensated for their actions. Whoever does
good equal to an atom, will reap it, and whoever
does evil equal to an atom, will reap it. This is the
consequence of this world, otherwise what is the
benefit of life and what is the wisdom of life if
there is no day for the creation in which the doer
of good will be compensated for his good, and
the perpetuator of evil, punished for his evil?
Youth who believe in the predestination of good
and evil. Thus they believe that everything is with
the Decree of Allah and His Divine
Foreordainment. This is despite their belief in
causes and their related effects and that for both
good and evil there are means.
Youth who adhere to the Advice of Allah, His
Messengers, His Book, the leaders of the Muslims
with frankness and openness - the way it is
incumbent upon them. They neither mislead,
deceive nor conceal anything.
Youth who call towards Allah with deep insight,
in accordance to the manner Allah has laid down
in His Book. "Call towards the Path of Your
Sustainer with wisdom and sound advice and
debate with them in a manner that is befitting."
(16:125)
Youth who enjoin good and forbid from evil
because they believe that in this is the success of
the nation. "You are the best of nations, taken out
for the guidance of mankind. You enjoin good
and forbid from evil and you have full faith in
Allah." (3: 110)
Youth who strive in the changing of evil in the
way established by the Messenger of Allah
sallallahu alayhi wasallam. "Whomsoever from
amongst you sees evil, he should change it with his
hand. If he does not have the power to do this, then
he should change it with his tongue. I f he does not
have the ability to do even this, then he should
change it with his heart (by scheming in the
eradication of this evil)." Muslim, Tirmizi
Youth who speak the truth and accept the truth,
because truth leads to good and good leads to
Paradise. A person will continue being truthful
and pursue the truth until Allah records him as
being a truthful person.
Youth who love good for the general Muslims
because they believe in the saying of Rasoolullah
sallallahu alayhi wasallam, "None from amongst
you can be a true believer until he loves for his
(Muslim) brother that which he loves for hirnsev"
A teenager who is cognisant of his responsibility
to Allah and his nation and homeland, keeping
far from egoism and far from giving
consideration to his own good at the expense of
the good of others.
A teenager who strives for the Pleasure of Allah,
with the Help of Allah, in the Path of Allah. He
strives with sincerity without pride or want of
reputation. He strives with the Help of Allah
without being conceited and without depending
on his own might and power. He strives in the
Path of Allah for the up liftment of his Deen
without exceeding the bounds and without
laxity. He strives with his tongue, hand and
wealth in the manner that the needs of Islam and
Muslims demand of him.
Youth who have character and Deen in them,
thus they are of refined character, religious,
gentle, liberal, noble-minded, clean-hearted,
steadfast, enduring and resolute. They do not
waste any opportunity nor do they let
compassion overcome intelligence and the need
for reformation.
A teenager who is systematic. He works with
wisdom and silence despite being firm and
excellent in his work. He does not waste any
opportunity, but instead occupies himself in
actions which are beneficial for him and his
nation.
Together with this, this teenager safe-guards his
Deen, character and conduct. Thus he is extremely
distant from those qualities which contradict this,
like kufr (disbelief), apostasy, inequity, disobedience,
lowly character and evil mutual relations.
These types of youth are the pride of a nation and a
symbol of it's prosperity and Deen. These are those
youth who will obtain the good of this world and the
Hereafter. They are the youth who we hope that
Allah, with His Grace, will use to rectify the
corruption amongst the Muslims and illuminate the
spiritual path of the seekers of truth.

poor servant to rich Allah S.W.T
