Ibn Ali Miller discusses issues facing American youth.

The challenge is friends! Our friends help us choose which path to take… if our friends remind us of Allah (swt), it becomes much easier to feel strong on the path that Allah (swt) has ordained for us… but friends that are heedless of Allah (swt) only make it easy for us to forget! Instead of pulling us towards Allah, they pull us away! If we feel guilty and want to come back to the path of Allah… our friends, who are not on this path, make it difficult for us… we stand out, maybe even look weird! Friends have lead innocent youth to crime… friends have caused peer pressure to make a Muslim youth conform to societal expectations… but also… Friends have pulled a fallen youth up from the gutters, bringing them closer to Allah (swt)! It all depends on the company you keep! So how do you get to have such a company?

Ibn Ali Miller reminds the youth to look at what they have and be grateful. He reminds us about family and the sacrifice those who came before had to make to make it easier for the next generation.

One year ago, #ConfidentMuslim Ibn Ali Miller was a construction worker working 10-12 hours a day to provide for his family.
