Youth activities during Holidays
In the West as well as in the East, Muslims should train themselves to better manage their time, as we are all responsible before Allah for wasting our time. It is particularly important during the summer holidays that the Muslim utilize his time well. Naturally, if a Muslim does not busy himself with useful activities, he is prone to waste his time in trivial matters that divert him from the straight path.
Sheikh Ahmad Kutty, a Senior Lecturer and Islamic Scholar at the Islamic Institute of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, comments:
"Summer is a great opportunity for Muslims of all ages and both sexes to do all sorts of beneficial activities: physical, intellectual, and spiritual.
Remember, Islam wants us to develop our bodies, minds, and souls. One of the best ways of using the summer is to organize more outdoor da'wah activities and educational camps outside where we integrate a three-fold program geared towards building strong Islamic personality. The Prophet (SalAllahu alayhi wasalam) is reported to have said: "A strong believer is superior to a weak believer, even though there is some good in every one."
Indeed, Muslim youth in the West are in a real need for such lawful activities to provide permissible alternatives to free mixing, moral laxity, et cetera. Thus in the summer, certain da'wah activities should be enhanced so as to enable Muslim youth to find a lawful outlet to utilize their time and energy in the best way.
A few of activities that we may pursue during summer:
1. Organize outdoor camps for the youth where they will be exposed to activities that will foster their bodies, minds, and spirits.
2. Organize volunteer activities in the community regardless of religion or race.
3. Take the initiative to organize open houses in Mosques and Islamic centers in order to expose our non-Muslim neighbors to the positive side of Islam.
4. Individually, families should use the opportunity to foster their family bonds by organizing family rituals such as eating together, or going for a walk or hiking, et cetera.
5. Last but not least, make use of summer to organize accelerated courses to learn about Islam in all of its aspects, including Shari'ah, ethics and morals, and Islamic intellectual traditions.":ma:
