Ustadh Abdussalam noted that quality parenting is decreasing every day, therefore, giving room for moral decadence among the teeming youth.
He said:
“We are poised to raise the Muslim children in the Islamic way by teaching them the word of Allah to memorize, act by its teachings and inculcate in them the pristine Islamic culture, morals and etiquettes.
“There's no doubt in the fact that the society is getting more corrupt by the day as what our children are exposed to ranging from music to movies and negative exposures on the social media are mostly destructive to their moral and spiritual senses. We are all witnesses to the aftermath of these tools being deployed by Shaytan.
