Qur’an. Moral Compass of the Believer

THE MODERN YOUTH INCREASINGLY move away from Islamic morals, ethics, and cultural values. As a result, their belief in Allah and the Prophet Muḥammad ﷺ has weakened, leading to doubts and misconceptions about Islam. The rise of atheism among the youth and the proliferation of distorted beliefs and ideologies further compound the situation. Additionally, there has been a noticeable decline in moral values across various facets of life. Parent-child relationships have become strained, resulting in high divorce rates and a lack of understanding regarding marital morals and rights. Maintaining strong kinship ties is often overlooked, as the younger generation prioritizes personal aspirations over social issues and family matters. The neglect and mistreatment of older individuals and the growing disregard for young children due to the fast-paced nature of modern life are disconcerting trends. The erosion of moral values can be attributed, in part, to the influence of Western ideals and misleading media portrayals.

Traditional values and virtues gradually dissipate, giving rise to a more self-centered mindset. In response to these challenges and deplorable circumstances and stances, the book "Qurʾān: Moral Compass of the Believer" has been authored. Unlike previous works on morality, this book specifically caters to the West's second and third Muslim generations, aiming to compensate for the lack of an Islamic-cultural environment during their upbringing. By immersing readers in a Quranic atmosphere, the book addresses the pressing issues and offers solutions grounded in the Qurʾān and Sunnah.
