Advice to Young Muslim

Has the modern day Islamic Scholars failed their community? Why do we have young Muslims wanting to blow themselves up? Who are the model Muslims that young Muslims need to look up to? How did a small band of extremists like Bin Laden hijack an entire religion? What should young Muslims read? These are some questions that often come to my mind.

I plan to start a new series on the blog about some of the modern day Islamic Scholars that the young can look upto.
