Led by Yusuf Patel of the Muslim Family Initiative and hosted by Whitethread Institute, this session will unpack three critical challenges:
The growing secular lens through which youth view Islam
The emotional vacuum, especially the absence of paternal love, that leaves young people vulnerable
The flawed ideological and scientific claims behind the “born this way” narrative, contrasted with the Islamic understanding of fitrah
Join us for this important discussion aimed at empowering faith leaders to guide with compassion, clarity, and conviction.
Open to brothers and sisters.
