The sacred task of assuming the leadership of the ummah falls to our Muslim youth. In a small gathering at a South Florida masjid, Abdullah Hakim Quick engages the youth in an informal discussion group meant to prepare them for the obstacles inherent in this task. After surveying the landscape of the Muslim community in the West and discussing the crisis on virtually every front, Imam Quick encourages these future leaders to learn from the mistakes of those who came before them and to apply the teachings of Islam in a practical, balanced manner. He warns that in order to be successful with leadership, one must have knowledge of both the deen and the dunya. This workshop is ideal for youth struggling with their identity, direction and faith. Although geared towards a younger audience, it is also appropriate for parents, mentors and imams who need to understand the challenges and concerns of the youth. Other topics discussed: communism vs. capitalism, the effects of colonialism, youth clashing with elders, wearing hijab, dealing with Islamophobia, helping fellow Muslims who are straying, dealing with the gay culture, dealing with temptations, fornication, being involved in non-Muslim politics, how youth can contribute in the Muslim community, youth studying Islam, learning Arabic, brotherhood, giving advice, and self-defense.
