A DEEP CONCERN FOR YOUTH
Concern is a quality of importance, it may be regarded to family, friends and the community which one is from or anything that worries the mind. I quote from the Oxford dictionary, something that is important to or affect somebody. In my opinion I regard concern of today’s time and era to the youth and where or what they see themselves doing for humanity and what they will be in the future.
I am relating an experience of a concerned man by the name of Inaayat Ismail, whose concern arose by what was happening in the world at the time of his youth. As the events and happenings grew more and more, his concern about these happenings as well also grew more and more. He decided to do something with his youth and became part of the ANC. One of the incidents in his life was going to Sebokeng and Sharpville for meetings and he had seen the police come in and attack and defenses people were killed. When he saw that type of death taking place in front of his eyes, it was not mere death like you see on television which doesn’t even touch the heart, but when you see someone who is mowed down in front of you. It really puts the impression on your heart that these people don’t have any human feelings and it brings up aggression inside you.
The concern that I have derived from his experience is for our youth who are trapped watching television. If the youth who are been brought up watching violent movies and can take the sight of murder likely, then we should be concerned because they might think that they can kill and nothing will happen.
In my opinion we should be concerned about this country as well. We have come far by overcoming challenges but apartheid still lives within us because people still believe that black is dirty and bad and white is clean and pure so, black and white people still don’t mix and have a hatred for each other.
Concern is something that everyone has and everyone should have, but it depends on what or about what you are concerned of. I am concerned about the youth of today because they are becoming worse and worse day by day. In Islam concern should be on everything, your salaah, your life, your family and a parent always has concern about his or her child. The parent wants to know where the child is and what the child is doing, but the child is hiding all the bad he does. Children need to start sowing the seeds of their future and taking responsibility and be role models to those who are younger then them.
I conclude by saying that concern should be there for the youth of today because remember they are going to be the leaders of tomorrow and for the leaders of today who are like animals for pride and glory.
