Empowering Youth to Lead the World Part 1 - 2019 Khilafah Conference

Empowering the Youth to Lead the World has two perspectives,-one for the parents, the second for the youth.

In the first part addressing parents, Sr. Safia noted that parents hold fear and anxiety for the future of the youth, and rightly so in light of secularism, capitalism, and their various by-products fracturing the community.

Moreover, the pressure on the youth to conform to secular society is at an all-time high, via the government, think tanks, media, educational institutions, and even in the form of the heavy handed push towards gender free locker rooms and bathrooms.

She informed the parents that it is very important for us to focus our efforts on the following four areas:

1. We need to utilize the blessings given to us by Allah (swt), of the Quran and Sunnah of the Prophet (saw), to instill confidence in our Deen and to ensure that halal and haram are the sole criteria for all of our actions.

2. We need to understand the secular narrative of today, so we can build our intellectual defenses against it, via critical thinking and with the support of the Quran and Sunnah of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (saw).

3. The parents are the caregivers, nurturers and guides, thus it is incumbent upon us to make sure that every breath of our life is based on Islam, so we can serve as true, living examples for our children.

4. We have to follow the example of the Prophet (saw) and we have to ensure that our whole family, both adults and children give dawah of the Deen of Islam to both Muslims and non-Muslims around us, and work for the reestablishment of the Islamic Khilafah state, which will implement Islam comprehensively.

Hizb ut-Tahrir is a global, Islamic political party working to resume the Islamic way of life by reestablishing the Khilafah upon the method of the Prophethood in the Muslim world. The party does not seek or attempt to establish the Khilafah in any of the western countries including America. The party does not use or approve of militant means to achieve its goals.
