and lets be honest here... most imams dont have a clue when it comes to the youth, most imams dont have a clue what goes on outside the masjid.
what we need in the masjid is volunteers who can work on these problems, and not just a few talks.
i mean lets face it, the muslim community is polarising, yes some of us are becomming more practicing, mashallah thats great, but some are getting much worse.
how do we get the later group all the way across the spectrum of people to the practicing group?
so we not only need study circles and talks, we need to be bringing the bad youth (and not so youthful) into better company, the need improvement group lets call them, and we need to have ways of bringing them into the practicing group.
we need different ways of doing this, talks only work on people who are already part way there, well most of them time anyway, other people need a different style and method to be even getting them to listen to talks in the first place.
bro, you live in leicester, you know all the asian youth are carbon copies, hindu, sikh, muslim, they all look the same, sound the same, dress the same and get up to the same tricks. only difference is the names they go by.
now these people, how do we get them even a little interested in islam? because that is the problem we are talking about here, not the ones who need a little improvement so they come salaah a bit more and listen to talks other than jummah.
