I am but a youth

 Assalamualaikum Sisters and Brothers.

Since I was asked this question,I wanted to reply here.

The question was asked by a sister I got to know recently as to what i do when i am online.

I am online most of the time and what is the reaction of the people around me,my parents especially. 

Alhamdulillah,
There is hardly any chatting that I do..the usual type with friends,cousins,family and all.. 

Because it may involve talk/jokes/conversations/backbiting or things that are haram.. 

I left the groups I found unbeneficial-loss of time and energy and resources-mobile,net,my intellect,etc I try and use whatsapp/facebook/twitter/blogger/mails for: 

1.Keeping in touch with everyone I know-male or female in a halal way.. 

2.To spread Allahs Deen i.e.to do dawah to muslims and non muslims. 

3.To make the youth aware of our duty to Allah and His Deen. 

4.To gain knowledge thats beneficial.. 

5.To do whatever little good I can to benefit the ummah ,mankind to earn Allah's Pleasure.. 


Thus,trying,hoping and praying that every moment spent is fruitful and I want my "account" of good deeds to
increase..coz thats the "Account" which matters and not the bank account ! 


Moreover,its important to realize that whatever we have,the resources,talents,we will be questioned about it. 

The following hadith is my favourite :
Its a reminder:


The Prophet said:
"There are seven whom Allah will shade in His Shade on the Day when there is no shade except His Shade: a
just ruler; a youth who grew up in the worship of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic; a man whose heart is attached
to the mosque; two men who love each other for Allah's sake,meeting for that and parting upon
that; a man who is called by a woman of beauty and position [for illegal intercourse], but he says: 'I fear Allah', a
man who gives in charity and hides it, such that his left hand does not know what his right hand gives in
charity; and a man who remembered Allah in private and so his eyes shed tears." 


( Narrated by Abu Hurairah & collected in Sahih al-Bukhari.vol.1, p.356, no.629 & 
Sahih Muslim vol.2, p.493, no.2248.) 

And I want to fulfill as many as I can and with Allahs Help in sha Allah,of the 7 categories.. 

I m but a youth Allah, Only You can guide me,

Guide me to the truth,guide me and all the youth..Aameen


may Allah forgive our sins.Aameen.
