Re-Inventing
the Mosque
For Our Children
Mohamed
Magid, Amal Ali, Habeeb Quadri, Janaan Hashim Adolescence is
a complex time full of uncertainty and change. On top of that,
Muslim youth in the West have to deal with the ignorance and
pressures from the non-Muslim society at large. Often being labeled
as evil or oppressed, our youth face innumerable obstacles on
their path to becoming productive members of society. Should
not the mosque be a refuge for them, aiding them in their struggles
and accommodating their needs? But the reality is that many Muslim
youth view the mosque in a far different light. This ISNA convention
panel addresses this problem. Learn how we can practically strive
to meet the needs of our youth by providing facilities, programs
and services that truly cater to them. Fresh and informed perspectives
are shared by a panel consisting of an imam and family counselor
(Mohamed Magid), a youth organizer and activist (Amal Ali), an
Islamic school principal and educational consultant (Habeeb Quadri)
and a professor and lawyer (Janaan Hashim). A wonderfully insightful
session for parents, imams, administrators and educators who
need to be aware of the youth culture and how best to reconcile
it with Islamic values. Other topics discussed: compartmentalization
as a coping strategy, dealing with negative influences of the
computer, and the hip-hop culture. (Duration: 1 hour, 17 min)
