Youth is considered to be the backbone of any nation. The level of moral development, civilization and consolidation of authority and potency depends on the morality of its youth. It can be said that nations survive till their ethics live. The question of youth and Islam at present stems from the overwhelming demographic weight of youth and their relatively recent invasion into the public domain, as well as a wave of Islamic revivalism throughout the world. For any society and its future the youth plays vital and integral role both for progress and decline. The reason is that youth can make the future dark or bright through their role as individuals and as active members of society. This paper draws on lively focus group narratives of young Muslims to explore the interactive presentation of Islamic selves. By bringing together young people who practice Islam in different ways, this paper offers a deeper insight into how claims to a universal identity are actively constructed and contested through particular social relationships and interactions in specific structural contexts. The first part of the paper presents introduction of the whole study. Second part gives description about the categories of youth including; pious, deviated and confused. In third part importance of youth in Islam has been highlighted. Fourth part presents social, moral, political situation of Muslim societies in contemporary time. Fifth part gives description of impact of moral, social, and political situation on the minds of young people. Discussion concludes with the responsibilities of youth which is followed by findings and conclusion of the whole discussion. In so doing, the paper takes up recent calls for more research on the personal meaning of Islam as religion for Muslim youth

Males are more affected with Club foot compared to female. Idiopathic clubfeet was considered 80% as isolated birth defects and 20% are syndromic or neurogenic. Objective: 1. To estimate the demographic characteristics of patients with clubfoot at FMIC, Kabul, Afghanistan from 2011 to July 2016. 2. To determine the outcomes of Turco’s Procedure for idiopathic clubfoot among children from 2011 to July 2016 at Paediatric Orthopaedic Department of FMIC, Kabul, Afghanistan.Methodology: A descriptive case series study design is used to determine the outcomes of Turco’s Procedure for idiopathic clubfoot among children at Paediatric Orthopaedic Department of French Medical Institute for Mothers and Children (FMIC), Kabul, Afghanistan during January 2011 to July 2016. Records of 99 participants with 151 feet who had undergone Turco’s procedure were clinically and radiologically assessed and followed for 3 years. Self-developed structured questionnaire was used by applying consecutive sampling technique. Age range of the study participants was from nine months to five years. The descriptive analysis was done, using SPSS Version 22. Mean and standard deviation (SD) were calculated for Quantitative continuous/discrete variables.
