beyond the boundaries of family, and which the adolescent seeks to judge as
being justly fulfilled as he/she learns to then implement the deen of Islam. All
of this is innate fitrah in action, but is readily made into deviant behavior and
thought by the double standards of family and community, especially with
regards to the treatment of women. At all three developmental stages the
child innately seeks justice, equity, security, understanding, peace and
comfort. And, as I have clearly demonstrated, this is initialized through the
sense of touch and has everything ultimately to do with sexuality wherein a
Muslim’s deen is made complete, because all is tawhid and akhirah.
"Would you then, if you were given the authority, do mischief in the land, and
sever your ties of kinship? Such are they (hypocrites) whom Allah has cursed so
that He has made them deaf and blinded their sight. Do they not then think deeply
in the Qur'an, or are their hearts locked up from understanding it?" (Q, 47:22-23)Is then one who doth know that that which hath been revealed unto thee from thy
Lord is the Truth, like one who is blind? It is those who are endued with
understanding that receive admonition; - Those who fulfill the covenant of Allah
and fail not in their plighted word; Those who join together those things which
Allah hath commanded to be joined, hold their Lord in awe, and fear the terrible
reckoning; Those who patiently persevere, seeking the countenance of their Lord;
Establish regular prayers; spend, out of (the gifts) We have bestowed for their
sustenance, secretly and openly; and turn off Evil with good: for such there is the
final attainment of the (eternal) home, Gardens of perpetual bliss: they shall enter
there, as well as the righteous among their fathers, their spouses, and their
offspring: and angels shall enter unto them from every gate (with the salutation):
"Peace unto you for that ye persevered in patience! Now how excellent is the final
home!" (Q. 13: 19 – 24)It is well known that the maladjusted adolescent severs his ties of kinship if
given the opportunity, and for many this becomes a fixed pattern of
avoidance of all legitimate authority at every opportunity, which is why
authentic Ulema are now marginalized across the board by all Islamic
Politicos. After all, how many Muslim Politicians or businessmen wish to
take an Imam or Ustaz as a companion on their fact-finding trips abroad?
Why is this? The Covenant of Allah they desperately sought at the hands of
their parents lacked developmental consequences that honored truth, hence
their search for wisdom went unheeded, and often they were admonished
unjustly or not at all when appropriate. Why then respect such an authority
