How to deal with the Teenage Phase ?
Q: How did the Prophet (peace be upon him) deal with the teenage phase of Muslim youth, in order to help them go through this stage?
A: The Prophet (peace be upon him) paid great attention to Muslim youth, and gave them and their parents special guidance and directives.
He gave the parents these instructions:
Command your children to pray when they become seven years old, and beat them for (neglecting) it when they become ten years old; and arrange their beds (to sleep) separately. Reported by Ahmad and Abu Dawud.
He (peace be upon him) addressed the youth by saying: ‘O young people! Whoever among you is able to marry, should marry, for marriage helps him lower his gaze and keep his virtuousness, and whoever is not able to marry, is recommended to observe Sawm (fast), for Sawm diminishes his sexual desire. (Agreed upon by Imams Al-Bukhari and Muslim)
May Allah grant us success! May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet, his family and Companions!
