In this period is very difficult to make the youth loveislam. The directions are worse can come in their selves. Those information canmake their moral decrease. All of those because there are many challenges thosemust be solved to make them for loving islam. Those challenges are:
- The Less Understanding About Islam
The youths often keep away fromislam. That is because they have minimum knowledge about it. They only know theout skin of it. Except that, they often find some samples of the bad execution fromits theaching that isn’t same with the greatness and the beauty of it. So that,they don’t understand the reality of its true.
If the youth get information ofislam from the source that isn’t good. It can come from people who don’tunderstand about islam teaching, or media mass that wants to mislead them fromtheir truths. Because of that’s, the youths see islam wrongly, and even many ofthem keep away and become inactive to it.
- The Youth Don’t Have Direction of Living
Because of the less understandingabout islam, they don’t know what the meaning of this life, and where will theylive, and what’s provision that’s must they prepare to become successful in thelife. So that, there are easy trepped to the culture and the attibude theirnegative environment the actually, all of the those aren’t useful for ther futuresand they also challenge with the laws of islam.
- The Flare Up of Passion
The great test that must be facedevery youth is the great of passion encouragement. This is in a row with thedevelop of their sexual organs function. In this period, the youth have strongpassion to like their short opponent. Because of that, unamazed if they like todress up their selves, attire, and wear clothes those can be attractive theirshort opponent. Not only those, they are also brave to view their genitals. Ifthe belief and so cuit control aren’t strong, they will fall to the freesez, bepregnant in the out of married, fall to the pregnancy and the others badeffects.
The reality, our God, Allah SWThave given us the laws of islam those teach human to endure their views, closetheir genitals and give limites when interaction with their short opponents whoaren’t their mahram (someone can not be married). If they have had preparationand abilities, islam will push them for wedding, or if they still have not beenable, they will do fasting for enduring the flares up passion.
- The Commotion Culture
Today, the commotion culture inthe young environment has becomed amazing something. Almost there aren’t timesthose the youth let pass except to enjoy the self. This situation is in a rowwith the develop of technology and the stream of free information. Except that,this is also in a row with many consolation place those are only for getting themuch advantages.
Most of our youth finish their timesin front of television, play PS (play station), come to consolation place, andetc. In fact, they also consume the drugs, alcoholic and etc.
- The Bad Environment
One of the reason the makes theyouths keep away from islam in the condition of their environment. The familyis the first environment that can affect them. If it doesn’t plan seeds ofbelief and love to islam, they will not know about islam.
And the second is the schoolenvironment. Now, it Is less about knowledge of islam. If the school andteacher don’t plant knowledge to their student well, so they will never becomethe peoples who love islam.
Except those, the environment thatmust be paid attention in the association environment. That is somewhere thatthe youths do interaction with their friends. If they play with friends who arefar from islam, they will be very possible to follow the behaviors of theirfriend those aren’t suitable with islam.
THE REALITY STEPS
There are some methods those can make the islam childrenbecome people who love islam, and they do its teachings.
- Teach knowledge About Islam
Ought to the parent and theleadership of islam don’t allow the youths become blind in our religion. Wemust deliver them to understand its principle well.
And the first knowledges thosemust be know by them are the knowledge about our God SWT, morals, and praying.Without understand with those fardlu ‘ain knowledges, they won’t be possiblefor loving Allah SWT and islam religion. Except that, they also won’t do itsteachings well.
2. Tell The History of Prophets,their friends ( ), and TheOther Good People ( )
Tell those histories to the youthabout their stuggling, and their attitudes, and the superior about the historyof our prophet, Muhammad Rasulullah SAW
On the Al Qur’an (QS Yusuf : 111),Allah SWT has tought moslems to study those histories
“Actually in those histories(prophets) there are teachings to people who have mind” (QS Yusuf : 111)
Except that, the attitude andbehavior of Rosulullah’s friend are also very good for them to become likethem. Because, they are the humans who are chosen by Allah SWT to become theloyal followers of him.
- Make The Youths For Laving The Mosque
One the effective steps that canmake them love islam is about mosque. Make them to love it! That means, theirparents must try to make them create it as the central activity of moslems.
In the mosque, they pray together,listen the religion teachings together, discuss religion knowledge together andetc.
If the mosque has become a placethat is loved by them then the consolation places, mall, and the other badplaces, so we will be easy to persuade them for following the other usefulactivities
- Make Them To Be Busy With The Charity of Islam
We must give them business withthe useful activities to prevent them from discarding their time with enjoy oneself. Those activities must be maked in the pleasant situation and they arestill permanent in the islam culture.
There are many kinds of activitiesthose are very liked by the youths beside the study and pray. For example:sport, scout, outbound, islam art, social action, and ect.
For make them always be pushed fordoing those charities of islam, we must make a competition ( ) among them.
- hold them on the young organization
the youths very like to doactivities with their friends. That instinct will be well if they are led intoyoung association of young organization. This will prevent them from lead theirinstinct to group that can keep away them from islam.
Many kinds of studentorganizations, for example: the mosque young organization, the association ofmoslem, and ect. Those become their places to study or to strunggle islam. Sothat, we will get them who grow and develop on the love and pray situation:
These are the youthscharacteristics those must be imitated by all of the islam youths in the world ( )
