It is believed that youth is the most important period of life. This is the time in which opinions, habits and beliefs are formed, and it is important for the time to be spent in personal development. For example, Muslim youth should develop the habit of praying five times per day, as he or she will do in adulthood.

Young Muslims should also refrain from backbiting, slander, jealousy and envy and focus instead on gaining Islamic knowledge and practicing the Islamic values of forgiveness and forbearance.

Despite the inexperience of youth, it is a time in a Muslim’s life when his faith is likely to be tested repeatedly by temptations “of the flesh.” It is the duty of young Muslims to overcome these temptations and preserve their Deen (Islamic way of life).

Cypress Islamic center has arranged a family night to discuss this matter in further detail. We encourage the community to join us with whole family and friends on Saturday evening to listen and benefit  form a lecture on this subject.
