They were in every case words on the future life of the youth so that he should achieve maturity, and strengthen the Muslim community not only by good actions in their service but by obeying the command to set up a family, treating both the wife and later the children of the next generation with that wisdom and compassion that would guarantee that the Deen of Islam would flourish as promised by the Merciful Lord, and spread in increase and nobility.<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ya Walad \u00e2\u20ac\u201c today this does not happen. Today the Muslim youth is living in such a chaos, in such a disaster zone that he not only is frankly ignorant of the Deen but also ignorant about life. In the Qur\u00e2\u20ac\u2122an, which, I can assure you, you have never been taught, Allah, glory be to Him, addresses the kuffar \u00e2\u20ac\u201c and warns them: and the muminun \u00e2\u20ac\u201c and guides them: and mankind itself, the human race \u00e2\u20ac\u201c both guiding and warning them.<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>You will not know that to the palaeontologists who study the evidence of mankind\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s presence on the planet, it is marked by the indication that the human species had human burial sites. In other words the human species begins with the knowledge that human life is sacred. Burial honours the dead. Man is buried with honour because he is in life the container or the vessel of a Divine Contract.\u00c2\u00a0<br \/>\n\u00c2\u00a0<br \/>\nRead the whole article from:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.shaykhabdalqadir.com\/content\/articles\/Art078_27042008.html\">http:\/\/www.shaykhabdalqadir.com\/content\/articles\/Art078_27042008.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Shaykh Abdalqadir as-Sufi \u00c2\u00a0 Ya Walad \u00e2\u20ac\u201c with these words our great scholars and Awliya have started their letters of counsel and guidance on the path of our sublime Deen.
