HOW TO PREVENT AND DEAL WITH DRUG-USE AMONG YOUTH FROM AN ISLAMIC PERSPECTIVE

Image
by Yuusuf Ademola Adesina Addiction is an essential concept that serves an important role in explaining why people act in ways which may ultimately cause harm to themselves or others. It is a concept that causes serious damage to the self, families, relationships, schools, workplaces and neighbourhoods. Research studies have shown that the risk of substance-use peaks in adolescence. A study reports that 13% of 12-17 years old studied reported to have used marijuana, 9.3% used an illegal substance other than marijuana, and about 32% used one of the most widely abused substances, alcohol. The numbers increased dramatically when 18-25 years old were asked, about 24% having used marijuana, 13% having used an illicit drug other than marijuana, and 75% having used alcohol. Further, for generations, public health policies and programs in the United States have attempted to prevent young people from using tobacco products. Laws prohibiting the sale of tobacco products to minors appeared in N

THE CHARACTERISTICS OF A CLASSICAL, STRIVING MUSLIM

Image
by Yusuff Ademola Adesina In the present century wherein the world morality has turned on its head, the characteristics of a true Muslim as defined in the orthodox teachings of his religion (Islam) can be likened to an oasis in the desert. It is the only place where trees grow in the desert and the sight of which gives a sense of pleasure and an air of inviting hospitality to the desert travelers. The character of a striving Muslim is distinct and balanced, because he is the embodiment of the illustrious guidance of Allah, drinking deeply from its pure spring and following the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (SAW). Hence, it is no surprise that a Muslim is expected to be an epitome of all good character as the Prophet (SAW) said he was sent to perfect noble character traits. However, many Muslims are negligent of the ‘Muslim Personality’ as Islam has wisely deemed it to be. Sadly, there exists a lacuna between what Islam wants for its followers and what they actually want

MARRIAGE: THE TRAGEDY OF MARITAL ABUSE

Image
Yusuff Ademola Adesina ( adesinayusuffademola@gmail.com ) The history of human society is nothing but the description of the evolution and diffusion of various institutions designed toward perpetuation, maintenance and survival of society. Marriage institution occupies a unique place in the realm of institutions. It is instrumental in perpetuating human society through regulations of conjugal and filial ties. Marriage is as old as creation of the world. Hence it is no doubt that marriage exists in virtually every known society.  There is a growing consensus among researchers that marriage is an important institution. Families built on marriage are, on average, healthier, wealthier and more stable than other familial forms. On this account, it was concluded from a series of evidence         that marriage is an important social good, associated with an impressively broad array of positive outcomes for children and adults alike. However, despite the fact that marriage is a h

DEPRESSION: WHY THE SUICIDE?

Image
Taking a look at the trending news in the past months in Nigeria, one would find out that virtually everyone becomes ‘mental health counselor’ giving all sorts of advice on how to deal with depression. Of course, the fact remains that suicide is a major public health problem worldwide. But then, is it a matter everyone can discuss? Obviously NO! It is a sensitive matter meant to be discussed only by the trained ones. Although mental health awareness is slowly becoming a mainstay of the contemporary media, historically, Nigerians believed depression is “white men sickness”! Presently, one would wonder about the Nigerian perception of mental health, considering the drastic increase in suicide rate in the country. A publication by the World Health Organization released on the 29 th of July 2018 ranked Nigeria fifth among the top suicide prone countries. The top four being South Korea, Russia, India and Japan, and developed countries including US, France, South Africa, Australia and

HOW TO CONTROL YOUR ANGER

Image
by Yusuff Ademola A. Anger is a normal, healthy emotion. It is neither good nor bad. It is a means of conveying a message, telling others that you have been wronged, threatened, oppressed…So, it is perfectly normal to feel angry. However, anger becomes a problem when you express in such a way that it harms yourself or others. Chronic explosive anger has serious consequences for your relationships, your health and your state of mind, and could impair your productivity level – thereby you become destructive and less successful due to your hot temper. For this reason, it is essential that you learn how to manage your anger. 1.       Think before you speak: the easiest thing is saying something you would later regret in a heated situation. Take a few moments to gather your thoughts before uttering anything and allow others to involve. 2.       Express your anger in a calm situation: once your thoughts are clear, express your frustration in an assertive manner. State your concer

Friendship: How your Friends Can Make You Succeed

Image
by AbdulWahab Mubaraq 'And hold fast, all of you together to the rope of Allah, and do not separate' (3:103) In life, everyone needs somebody he will always associate with, share his or her problems with and find solution to. A friend is an individual who knows you well and you know well. He/she is a person you have regard for with affection and trust. Friends are individuals who you surround yourself with, stick and stand by you in both hard and good times. They largely determine your progress and success wherever you are both spiritually and ethically. To succeed in whatever you are doing, you must choose a friend whose goals and ambition is similar and coincides with yours.   There is an old proverb that says “show me your friend and I will tell you who you are.” This therefore shows that when one is choosing a friend, one has to be very careful and cautious because if one has bad friends then one will be surely be judged as a bad person irrespective of his or her
