Are We Losing Our Kids To The Algorithm

This deen was carried by young people.

This deen was led by young people.

You imagine the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam is about to die, about to pass away from this earth.

And he decides, I'm going to send an army to fight the Roman Empire.

Because the world at his time was a world in which either you show your force or you get eaten alive by the other empires, the Persian and the Roman Empire.

So he has to show what he's made of.

He's going to send the army to the great Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire, an army inside of which is Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman and Ali.

Who's going to be the boss? Who's going to lead the army? A seventeen-year-old teenager, Usama ibn Zayd Radi Allahu Anhum.

When the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam passes away, he passes away having made the decision this young man is going to lead the army of Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman and Ali.

The Sahaba push back.

Hey, hold on a second.

Who is this young guy? Let's have it.

Let's change it up.

Let's get someone more experienced, you know.

We need twenty years work experience in the battlefield.

But Abu Bakr As-Siddiq says, Hibbu Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.

Ibn Hibbu Rasulullah, the most beloved to Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, son of the most beloved to Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.

Usama, you're telling me to overturn the decision Rasulullah made? No way.

Over my dead body.

This seventeen-year-old is going to lead the greatest army ever seen.

Watch.

To prove.

Why did the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam do this? To prove to the Sahaba it is not years of experience, but it is youth who know how to lead that are the future of this Ummah.

Abdullah ibn Abbas Radi Allahu Anhum, he was eleven years old when he heard, Itha jaa nasrullahi wal fath.

Wa ra'aitan nasa yadkhuluna fi deenillahi afwaja.
