  • Islamic Approach to the Youth Development
    June IJPSS Volume 2, Issue 6 ISSN: 2249-5894 2012 _________________________________________________________ Islamic approach to the Youth development Dr. AbdulMajeed Hassan Bello* __________________________________________________________ Abstract: The paper examines the nature of development and argues that individualistic and materialistic approach of the western paradigm of development is repugnant to Islam. Islam is deeply concerned with the problems of socioeconomic and political development, but treat them as an important parts of a wider problem, that of integrated human development. The primary function of Islam is to transform the individual morally and reconstruct his social environment on correct lines and in the right direction. The paper holds that there are four types of talents that we have been granted. They are: physical, mental, moral and spiritual. Islam teaches that we should try all we can to bring these talents to perfection and that we should strive hard for it, In an Islamic framework, therefore, development means moral, spiritual and material development of the individual and society leading to maximum socioeconomic well-being with the establishment of a just order resulting in the ultimate good of mankind here and hereafter. The paper opines that religion has a crucial role to play in this regard and concludes that religious leaders must as a matter of necessity de-emphasize the message of material prosperity (which is the trend at the moment) and shout on roof-top the fundamental tenets and doctrines of religion that can foster adherent's moral and spiritual consciousness. Also parents and guardians of youth must constantly show concerns for youth moral development through demonstrable role modeling and enviable acts.

    The Qur'an and its Translators Ali Quli Qarai - XKP Published: 2013 Categorie(s): Non-Fiction, Education and Study aids, Refer- ence, Health & fitness, Well being, Religion, Islam, House & home, Sustainable Living, History of Religions Tag(s): islam translators translations "ali quli qarai" xkp "qur- an verses" tarjuma tajweed rules "writers of quran" 1 Chapter 1 Introduction The Qur'an has been without doubt the most influential book in the history of mankind, in the same way as the great Prophet to whom it was revealed has been the most influential of men. Together they have heralded a new and ultimate era in the his- tory of mankind. This influence is bound to increase with the development of man's awareness of the higher dimensions of human existence and with the removal of the obstacles that bar humanity from its Godward journey. Neither prose nor poetry, it surpasses all human composition with the celestial music of its rhythms, the profundity of its meanings, its universality of appeal, its wonderful clarity, eloquence, sublime rhetoric, and above all its deep and passionate concern for the good of all human be- ings, which permeates all its chapters and verses. The beauty and sublimity of the Qur'anic discourse is something which has to be discovered directly by everyone to the extent of his capa- city and effort, for the richness of the Qur'an is inexhaustible. Unlike other masterpieces of world literature and scriptures, whose interest and appeal is limited to an audience with a par- ticular literary taste or some religious creed, the Qur'an is the book of the ordinary human being, and meant for each and every human being.
