Description :
Islam and the Problems of the Youth : This work is the fifth volume of Imam al-Buti's, rahimahullah, Pinnacle Papers series.
The problems of the youth are not problems that are connected to them insomuch as they are problems of the community that they live in. Sticking them to the youth is to accuse the innocent and to exonerate the guilty. To charge them with the responsibility of rising above these problems while their communities remain as they are is a very strange kind of futile behaviour.
How can that be, and what is the solution?
The answer is found in the pages of this book.
This work is book Five - part of the Pinnacle Papers Series by Shaykh Ramadan al-Bouti, rahimahullah.
