Problems What problems have we discussed so far?
What are some themes amongst the problems? • What are some common causes? • What are some common solutions? (think about the tips)
Throw Back Friday • How do these problems relate to the lessons learned in Surah Asr?
Surah Asr • By Time! • Man is in a state of loss! • Except those who: • Believe • and Do good deeds • and Call others to truth • and Call others to patience
Lessons from Surah Asr • Time- it’s running out • We are bound to be surrounded by problems! • We cannot maintain faith except by: • Trying to do good! • Doing tawasi: having others to practice with
Peer Pressure is Real! • Peer Pressure is real! • Alcohol & drugs: most teens know its bad; do it for peer-related reasons (to be cool, to fit in, etc) • Music: youth culture dictates a lot of what we listen to. “It was on the radio.” “I was in the car with my friends” • Hard to find friends who don’t engage in these things
Our Environment Sucks • We’re not in Jannah anymore! • Problems all around us: • Lowering our gaze: not part of American culture; images everywhere • Music: it’s all around us; encompassing • Alcohol & drugs: “everyone’s” using it • Parents: who? Huh? Not talked about, valued, seen • Distractions: everywhere • YOLO & MYOB
