All praise is due to Allah, the Exalted. We praise Him,
seek His assistance and forgiveness, and return to Him in repentance. We equally seek His protection from our evils and misdeeds. No one can mislead whom He guides and no one can guide whom He misleads.
I testify that there is no god worthy of worship except Allah Alone. He has no partner. I also testify that Muhammad() is His slave and Messenger. May Allah bestow His peace and blessings upon him, his family, his Companions, and those who rightly follow them.
It is my pleasure to discuss with my brothers and sisters one of the most important topics of this age. This concern is not peculiar to Muslim society alone but rather presents itself in every social setting: it is the subject of problems affecting today's young people.
Many ideological and psychological questions creep into the minds of today's young adults that sometimes make them confused about life and they try to escape from that confusion and relieve the distress caused thereby.
The aim of escaping from confusion can never be achieved, however, except through religion and good morals, which are the main ingredients of a sound society and keys to the good of this world and the hereafter. Indeed, it is through them that prosperity and blessings are attained and evils and adversity are averted.

Youth's
Problems
Young people are humanity's future wealth. They offer hope and strength to their nations, and the directions they take in their lives determine the fate of their people. Understanding, addressing, and solving their problems and worries are thus of utmost importance for all members of society.
In this unique and lucid booklet the revered contemporary scholar, Shaykh Muhammad al-'Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him), addresses some of the ideological and sociological challenges faced by modern youth. Starting with an astute description of the state of contemporary young adults, he outlines major issues hindering their progress on the straight path of Islam. He not only covers current issues such as joblessness, estrangement between the young and their elders, and keeping good company but also discusses subjects like predestination and the limits Islam places on individuals. In all instances, al-'Uthaymeen draws on the Qur'an and the authentic Sunnah to offer tangible solutions and to inspire the hearts of young people. The simplicity and straightforwardness of this work make even complicated issues easy to grasp. The wise advice the author offers is not only well-presented but practical and compassionate. This book will benefit not only the young of society but their parents and educators as well.
