Asslamo Allaikum Usman,
Judging by the way you have spelled your name “Usman” & I will guess that you are from a Non-Arab background (possibly Asian)…
1) Did you know that Muhammad Bin Qasim was seventeen years old when he conquered India?
2) Did you know that Tariq bin Ziyaad was seventeen years old when he conquered Spain and entered into Europe (British Island of Gibraltar is actually Jabal-ut-Tariq meaning mountain of Tariq where his army fought from)
Do you know any 17 year old “Teens” today who can command an army and become a general?
The point is my brother that people matured earlier back then so the 17 year olds of today have no resemblance to 17 years old of yesterday…Same obviously goes for women.
I believe that you are trying to compare youngsters of yesterday to our PS2 & XBOX youngsters.
Jazakullah Khairun
