00:00:01 --> 00:00:04
			Islam gives a lot of importance to young
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:04
			people.
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:08
			Young people should be given their ability, their
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:12
			strength, their true capabilities.
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:17
			Consider five things as a boon before you
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:18
			lose those five things.
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:23
			And the first thing that the Prophet of
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:27
			Allah has told is Consider youth to be
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:29
			a boon before old age.
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:31
			That the footsteps of the sons of Adam
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:34
			will not move forward in the hereafter until
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:36
			they answer those five questions.
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:40
			What is the importance of young people in
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:40
			Islam?
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:46
			Islam gives a lot of importance to young
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:46
			people.
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:49
			If we look at the Qur'an, Sunnah
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:55
			and Seerah we know that youth is a
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:59
			very important phase of life in a person's
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:00
			life.
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:05
			Because in this phase a person is very
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:10
			energetic, he has strength, he has passion, he
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12
			is very determined to do anything.
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:15
			And in the same way, the companions of
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:21
			the Prophet of Allah were mostly young people.
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:24
			Young people should be given their ability, their
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:28
			strength, their true capabilities.
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:34
			Because when Islam gave priority to that phase,
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:38
			then we should generally give priority to this
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:40
			phase and take advantage of it as much
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:42
			as possible.
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:45
			We find many hadiths of the Prophet of
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:49
			Allah, in which he has told a lot
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51
			about the importance of youth.
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:55
			For example, we see that the Prophet of
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:59
			Allah said that consider five things as a
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:03
			bounty before you lose those five things.
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:08
			And the first thing that the Prophet of
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:12
			Allah has told is consider youth as a
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:14
			bounty before old age.
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:16
			So the Prophet of Allah told about five
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:21
			such important things that many people are unaware
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:22
			of.
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:24
			Many people do not give it importance.
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:31
			So we should consider five things as a
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:34
			bounty before you lose those five things.
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:37
			So the first thing that the Prophet of
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:39
			Allah has mentioned is youth.
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:43
			So we can guess how much importance the
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:46
			Prophet of Allah has given to youth.
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:51
			In the second hadith, the Prophet of Allah
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:55
			says that the feet of Adam will not
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:58
			move forward in the hereafter until he answers
		
00:02:58 --> 00:02:59
			those five questions.
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:03
			In which the first question will be that
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:05
			Allah has given you life.
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:09
			Where did you spend that life and how
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:09
			did you spend it?
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:13
			And the second question will be the important
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:15
			aspect or phase of life.
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:17
			That is the second question, where did you
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:18
			spend your youth?
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:24
			So we can guess that our youth should
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:33
			understand that the Prophet of Allah has said
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:34
			about you and all of us that the
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:37
			feet of Adam will not move forward in
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:38
			the hereafter until he answers those five questions.
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:42
			So the youth that Allah has given us
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:43
			is a blessing.
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:44
			It is a great blessing.
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:48
			And we will definitely be questioned about this
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:48
			blessing.
