The Muslim Youth


In the name of Allaah the most gracious the most merciful, may the peace and benediction of Allaah be upon the noblest of Mankind Muhammad solaLlaahu alehi wasalaam.

Muslim youths of today now find it very easy to mimick the so called musicians both in their sense of dressing and way of life.
A critical example is how people roll their trousers to the ankle lenght, most muslim youth are also found guity of this, whereas the prophet had told us long ago how a muslim should be observant of the length of his dress especially men.


It was narrated from Abu Dharr that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “There are three to whom Allaah will not speak on the Day of Resurrection and will not look at them or praise them, and theirs will be a painful torment.” The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) repeated it three times. Abu Dharr said: “May they be doomed and lost; who are they, O Messenger of Allaah?” He said: “The one who lets his garment hang beneath his ankles, the one who reminds others of favours he has done, and the one who sells his product by means of false oaths.”
Narrated by Muslim, 106.

It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said; “Whatever of the lower garment is beneath the ankles is in the Fire.”
Narrated by al-Bukhaari.

If this is done as prescribed by the prophet the reward is certain,but imitating these people is of no benefit.


Another issue is the kind of shaving(head) we see some youth doing, shaving part and leaving the rest with the same intent of being up to date as concerning what people are now doing.
With regard to hair, the Prophet’s guidance is either to leave it all alone or to remove all of it. He did not shave part of it and leave part of it.

It was narrated that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allaah be upon him) forbade qaza’; he saw a boy who had part of his head shaved and he said: “Shave all of it or leave all of it.”

Let us stop thinking that prophetic ways of life is of no use in the modern day, just as the Qur'an that even revealed to us what will happen after death, the prophet way of life is also applicable to all aspects of human existence giving no regard to race or nation.


May the turner of hearts turn our hearts toward goodness and make us successful in life and hereafter.
