    About this ebook

    In today's technologically ubiquitous world, our youth are but a click away from evil and corruption. The internet, television and other forms of digital media coverage today invite the potential for destruction. In addition to the allure of sinning online is the attraction of charismatic speakers seeking to misguide our Muslim youth. These trials test young Muslims in ways society was never tested before. The instantaneous and unrelenting timeline of information can swarm a young mind, deviating it from the Straight Path.

      The Deviation of the Youth - Sulayman Al-Ruhayli

      Preface

      All the praise is for Allāh, the Lord of all that exists. May prayers and peace be upon Muḥammad, his family, and Companions, altogether.

      To proceed:

      Indeed the youth are the heart of the society, such that if the youth are corrupted, then that society will likely be corrupted, and if they are rectified, then that society will be rectified. Hence, it is upon us to pay due attention to their cultivation, for they are our future and a reflection of us.

      In the hands of the noble reader is the English translation of the book: Deviation of the Youth: Its Causes and the Means to Remedy It

      This book was translated from a transcribed lecture by the noble shaykh, Sulaymān al-Ruhaylī. It focuses on the meaning of deviation, its types, the reasons for the youth going astray, and the means to remedy it.

      You will notice that the book has the tone of a speech. This is because, as mentioned, the book was transcribed from a lecture which the shaykh gave. The translation was then organized into chapters and sub-chapters based upon the flow of the lecture, which allows for a smoother read. References were also added for the Aḥādīth and verses used throughout the lecture.

      Thanks is due to all those who took part in the production of this work, specifically our dear brothers ʿUmar al-Irlundī, Aḥmad Assing and the brothers at TROID, as well as Umm Zakī and all others they work with in producing high quality translated books to the English-speaking world, and the praise is for Allāh. Thanks is also due to my dear brother and friend, Rashīd Barbee, for his advice and assistance whenever needed.

      I ask Allāh to make it a benefit for the youth, the parents, and the ummah in general. And I ask Allāh to place this action in the scales of good deeds for the author, the translator, and all those who played a role in its production. Indeed Allāh is Near and Responsive to supplications.

      Rāhā ibn Donald Batts

      Masjid Tawhīd wa-al-Sunnah,

      Durham, North Carolina, USA

      Introduction

      In the Name of Allāh, the Most-Gracious, the Ever-Merciful

      The praise is for Allāh, the King, the Pure, the One Free from defects, and the Owner of Majesty and Honour. He is pleased with the religion of Islām for us; He has perfected the religion for us; and He has completed his favour upon us. I testify that none has the right to be worshipped except Allāh. He loves those who say: I believe in Allāh and then are upright upon that. He makes Paradise to be an abode of peace for them. I testify that Muḥammad is His servant and Messenger. With him Allāh concluded the prophets. So he was the sweet ending. Allāh sent him as a mercy to the creation, and he commanded them (the creation) with acts of obedience, and he warned them against deviation and sins. May the purest prayers and most complete peace be upon him, and may Allāh be pleased with his pure and reputable family members and his noble and elite Companions.

      As to proceed:

      O virtuous assembly, we have gathered within the city of the Messenger of Allāh (ṣalla Allāhu ʿalayhi wa sallam), and what an excellent city it is. It is a city which Allāh has given many virtues. It is a city, which to love it is (a sign of) īmān and a sunnah, for the Prophet (ṣalla Allāhu ʿalayhi wa sallam) loved it. Whenever he would return from travel, he would hasten his riding beast out of longing for it.

      We have gathered within a house from the Houses of Allāh. Allāh, the Mighty and Majestic, says:

      In houses [mosques], which Allāh has ordered to be raised [to be cleaned, and to be honoured], in them His Name is glorified in the mornings and in the afternoons or the evenings. Men whom neither trade nor sale diverts them from the Remembrance of Allāh [with heart and tongue], nor from performing al-ṣalāh [iqāmat al-ṣalāh], nor from giving the zakāh. They fear a
