I repeated my question louder ...
I repeated my question louder ,but he couldn’t understand my question and I couldn’t grasp his reply; it seemed that he’s living in another era talking about some prehistoric things that I couldn’t understand. Afterwards I realized that he only answered with yes or no, forbidden or not forbidden. As far as I’m concerned my question required more than a short answer with yes or no, I was not granted much attention. When I looked around, I didn’t see anyone close to my age.
I couldn’t comprehend what was going on around me, except the discussion of some businessmen compromising some religious dues to be levied as if Prophet Mohammad was sent to be a levy collector, not a guide for people! Then I heard that this money was intended to be spent on the affairs of the religion about which I came enquiring but found no answers F Wait a minute, son. You can’t talk like this. Choose your path calmly and follow those who turned to God without repentance.
Don’t be hateful to such people; they are helpful in their regions; they have done a lot to their people. So it’s not fair to compare the old style services to the current needs. S But Dad, can you believe that the Prophet was only answering enquiries?! Were his relations and responsibilities restricted to merchants only? Had he ignored the youth? F No! Never! He answered all enquiries about ideologies, ethics or rules.
He was advising and preaching without seeing it as degrading or having any drawbacks. Generally speaking, all prophets paid attention to youth who constituted the forefront of the believers in bearing heavenly duties. Didn’t you read that: “ But none believed in Moses except some children of his people, because of the fear of Pharaoh and his chiefs, lest they should persecute them ” This offspring was the youth who were enthusiastic and sacrificed sincerely.
That was what the Cave (Seven Sleepers of Ephesus) did and as you know they were not old people, but they were young “ We relate to thee their story in truth: they were youth who believed in their Lord, and We advanced them in guidance .” S We need a clergyman to meet people and join them, pray with them and deliver lectures.
A clergyman who answers questions directly and solves people’s problems, follows up with them in different parts of the world, follows the world’s events and understands their impact on people.
