What has gone wrong with our Muslim youth?

[PUPPET]

There has been an outcry from the Muslim community here in South Africa, that “our” youth


Are not living “Islamic / Shariah Lifestyles” and that we have been at the fore front of issues like– Gangsterism, Drug abuse, clubbing, Pre-marital sex, Divorce, among other issues that were not prevalent (to such a degree) a few years ago


Most people allude to the problem of Poor Parenting:


I feel the following are issues:


Double standards in beliefs and practise. EG: A mother who backbites, lies, does not read salaah will ask her daughter to wear a scarf – will a child respect someone who says one things yet does another.


Paradigm shift – Muslim family units are now broken, the role of a mother has shifted to the liberated office worker - We leave a Child in the company of a Maid, TV and an Empty home, Void of guidance


Role models are no longer Saints, Prophets Sahaaba, but Bollywood Actors , Hollywood stars , ect …..


Westernization: Eating, dressing……
