Islamic Lifestyle

Imagine being young and knowing that choosing Islam could make people insult you, reject you or even harm you. That was the reality faced by many of the early Muslims in Makkah.

One of the biggest lies young people sometimes believe is: “I'm still young. I'll become serious about Islam later.” Later, when I finish school. Later, when I get a job. Later, when I get married.
