Muslim Youth In The Age of Dajjal By Dr. Gohar Mushtaq

Muslim youth today face a challenge unlike anything previous generations encountered — an environment saturated with digital content, social media, addictive technology, sexual stimulation, ideological confusion, and deliberate attacks on Islamic identity and values. Muslim Youth in the Age of Dajjal by Dr. Gohar Mushtaq addresses this crisis directly — naming the forces at work, explaining their mechanisms, and providing the Islamic tools a young Muslim needs to protect their faith, their mind, and their character.

What This Book Covers

Understanding the Modern Fitnah

The book opens by establishing the nature of the trials facing Muslim youth today — not as random cultural pressures but as part of the broader fitnah the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) warned about. Understanding what you are facing is the first step in dealing with it.

Social Media, Technology, and the Distortion of Reality

Dr. Mushtaq addresses the specific psychological and spiritual effects of social media addiction, pornography, gaming, and the culture of instant gratification — showing how these tools are designed to capture attention, weaken willpower, and undermine Islamic values at their root.

The Islamic Response

The second half of the book provides the Islamic toolkit: strengthening iman through knowledge and worship, the role of righteous companionship, the practical steps for breaking addictions, and the cultivation of identity as a Muslim that is robust enough to withstand the pressures of the age.
