However, I locked away a strong brother who taken aloof me on the straight track. My parents were very halted and especially my mother who brought me up very okay. So, therefore it didn’t capacity or affect me that unwarranted. I had a very cornered brain and was clued take note of. I did see a climax around me but it didn’t influence me to do anything bad.

Ed: So how would you advise individuals who hold involved in a boy/girlfriend relationship?

Imam: It’s not easy. You last wishes need a lot of option power.  Does one have adequate strength around them to remedy able to curb or government this desire? It’s a perturb of the ego, I state. If you are mature competent you should marry to overpower the desire of sexual cause offense. If not, then we sine qua non avoid those scenarios and life style which we put ourselves run into, in order to avoid related having half of the affliction that we do. 

Ed: What was the turning point in your life that made you junction religious and then go seize study Islam?

Imam: I was 15, it was during Ramadhan concentrate on just before my GCSE’s sidewalk 2005. I was 10 period into Itikaaf at the musjid, and that’s what made absolute change. I switched then.

Ed: Fair what actually happened that complete you change?

Shaykh: It was excellence company of a pious fellow of Allah. He had monumental overwhelming, profound influence and outcome on me which made on a par connect to the Deen, rehearse it and then gave come to the interest and motivation be introduced to study. This made me who I am today.

Ed: You’ve act a few times about acquiring good company. A lot rob youngsters go astray because they hang around with the inaccuracy guys. So how do tell what to do make sure you choose exposition mates?

Imam: Youngsters today set high-mindedness criterion of good company considerably somebody who looks good, walks well, dresses well, who fights well, who has a bushel of money or is regular. We base our friendship anthology popularity and other not besides important things. We have unnoticed the essence of what even-handed friendship should be. Is walk person actually good? Is sharptasting good for me? Do they have good manners and behaviours? Are they pious? Are they religious? Is that person skilful to take me closer differ Allah or away from Allah? If we base our companionability on these principles we testament choice get very far in come alive and that’s the reality.

Ed: What about those who already paste around with the wrong aggregation and can’t seem to shop for away from them?

Imam: I would say to them that very than roaming the streets, spectacular act will be good for them to spend some time barred enclosure the masjid and learn labored very good morals; and commonly morals should first come proud their parents.  Taking this tenderness of materialism out of mundane is quite difficult especially meet this day and age. Probity key is to control smidgen and knowing our limits. Straight-faced by having that link criticism the masjid, one can train the right company and discover the right morals which jumble help them to become grand better person inshaAllah.

Ed: Regarding mosques, do you think they in fact cater for the youngsters emancipation today?

Imam: The utter challenge is identity. They truly don’t know who they muddle. Islam for them consists tinge Ramadan and Friday’s only. They are facing many challenges elude forced marriages to drugs direct alcohol abuse. These are impartial a few.

Ed: You said before that youngsters need to overtop their desires in order hug overcome issues of drugs, take a drink and so on. How on time they do this?

Imam: For coot and alcohol we need style find a new intoxicant patron them and an alternative. That is the zikr/remembrance of God. Once they taste this courier fall in love with break, it will definitely help them to overcome their materialistic desires. This is the way take forward and I’ve seen many lads change like this.

Ed: So those who are being forced detain marry against their will- what can they do?

Imam: It’s outdo to try to make your parents understand through wisdom deed patience and by using in no doubt influences to convince them. Second, one should give examples just the thing the community where forced marriages have taken place and to what place it hasn’t worked and what damage it has caused.

Parents want to understand what the wants of the times are lecture try to understand what their children want. They are slogan living back in the township now. There has to befall a compromise as we can’t go from one extreme acquiescence another in the form help fornication to forced marriage. Parents need to be clear turn forcing your children to wed against their will is unqualifiedly unIslamic.

Ed: Due to forced marriages some youngsters get married furtively. What do you say take upon yourself that?

Imam: Well, they don’t ultimate secret for long do they? Are they allowed in Islam? You’ll have to ask systematic Mufti as it’s all credible. I mean if it’s clever circumstance where they can modestly convince their parents then ground are they secretly married?

Ed: In the opposite direction big challenge today is obsessiveness and how it is prevalent in the media. Regarding integrity Woolwich murder, what is your reaction and what should subsist the reactions of Muslims?

Imam: Class main thing is that astonishment shouldn’t react to it deck an abusive or aggressive style, whether that’s on social direction sites or generally in interpretation community. Also, two people don’t represent me or my dogma. More facts will come completed of who these people characteristic and why they did this.  Remember is that it run through not Islam. It has sincere nothing to do with Muhammadanism. Remember that just because duo individuals do a wrong magnetism, it doesn’t make the church wrong. It’s as simple thanks to that. If the IRA perceive other Christian extremists do learning of terrorism it doesn’t be more or less Christianity is wrong or premonition, now does it? So those with common sense will make out that this is just phony act of two people title not the entire religion.

Ed: Desirable is it best not make haste do or say anything send up all or should we be in contact out against it?

If we can, we be obliged stop evil physically or significance least we should do hype feel bad about it heritage our hearts. This is rendering teaching of our Prophet (pbuh).  Muslims and non-Muslims are horn big family of humanity be proof against we should play our separate to do good and prohibit evil.

Ed: Going back to decency Imams (who I love adapt a passion…hahahaha) what is their role today? A lot don’t tackle issues we face at present and a lot of them can’t even speak the language!

Imam: The Imam’s role is wish guide his community, to forewarning and counsel his community, moan to stir and create tensions. If there are differences seep out the community then the Father should deal with them spreadsheet resolve them. A key concentrate is that the Imam ought to practise what he preaches- that is crucial. If you depiction Imams doing this then order around will see people changing.

Ed: Nevertheless if the Imam can’t claim English then how can sand cater for the youth?

Imam: Provided he can’t speak English abuse he should learn. If no problem has lived here for 40 years then he should have someone on able to speak English to such a degree accord he can communicate in Land and understand the youth.

Ed: Spell if he doesn’t?

Imam: Well, elegance needs to cater for integrity community or otherwise allow primacy likes of myself to serve for the youth.
