Yeah, i meant practical tips.. most of the youth mess about in the streets - & sister habibti explained in another thread how the youth in that area can spend their time helping the elders (i.e. if the elders don't know the english language) to go to the doctors and stuff.. i thought that was really clever masha'Allaah.
Instead of making the masjid just an area for salaah, it could also be a youth center with halaal activities so the youth would come more often insha'Allaah, while learning about islaam or bringing friends over etc.
