Tips for Muslim Youth to Live an Ideal Life

Islam is not about to prepare ourselves for the next world but it’s a complete code of life for this world too.  Today’s youth is forgetting the principles of Islam so there is need of to revise those lessons which Islam has delivered to us. Here are some tips for Muslim youth which Muslim youth must follow.

     1.     Keep your intention sincere

Whatever we do should do for the sake of Allah Almighty. We should try to indulge our self for spreading Islam. Sincere intention is a characteristic of an ideal Muslim. So whatever we do, study or work should do sincerely. We should keep in mind that if nobody is around Allah is still here. We should spend as more effort as we can to complete the work. In young age we have much strength so we should utilize this strength for the right purpose.

     2.     Try to do as much worship as you can

Many youngsters think that they are young and they have a lot of time to worship. They leave worship for the old age. But think for a moment that do you know what the time of your death is? May be the next moment will be the time of your death. So try to do as much worship as you can. We have much power and strength in young age and we can do worship more actively so utilize this strength.

     3.     Lower your gaze

Try to lower your gaze because it is a characteristic of n ideal man and women.

     4.     Kill the time by remembering Allah Almighty

Much time we get bored when we have nothing to do. Today’s young Muslim spends a lot time to watch a movie or to chat on internet which is wrong strategy. If you want to kill the time just join an Islamic class or listen the lectures of Islamic scholars. This action of yours will give refreshment to your Imaan and you will feel satisfaction. Your heart will be purified.

     5.     Do the Dhikar of  “Astighfaar”

Try to do the Dhikar of Astighfaar as much as you can because it opens the door toward goodness and makes the matters easy.

Youth is a prime time of our youth so it is a very precious time. Allah has prepared a shade on the Day of Judgment for those people who used to worship Allah in their youth. On that Day, there will be no other shade except the shade from the throne of Allah. Imagine standing outside on a very hot day under the sun for hours after hours. You would definitely want some shadow to rest under. But what about that Day when the sun will be much nearer to us and the heat will be much more extreme. Wouldn’t you want some shade on that day? Of course you would! So be aware your duties and try to become an ideal Muslim youngster.  May Allah help us to walk on that way which leads us toward Jannah. (Amen).
