نوجوانوں کا اخلاقی بحران
مثل مشہور ہے کہ جوانی دیوانی ہوتی ہے، عمر کا یہ حصہ عالم شباب گردانا جاتا ہے اور اسی حصے میں کئی نشیب و فراز آتے ہیں ، اتار چڑھاؤ کا سلسلہ جاری رہتا ہے۔ زندگی عجب انداز میں دکھائی دیتی ہے۔ آنکھوں میں نشیلا پن ہوتا ہے ، اعضاء بدن مضبوط ہو چکے ہوتے ہیں اور جملہ کار ہائے زیست میں نمایاں کارکردگی کا مظاہرہ ہوتا ہے، اور اسی طرح یہ عالم شباب گزر جاتا ہے۔
قابل صد تحسین وہ نو جوان ہے جو اپنی جوانی کو اسلامی اصولوں کے مطابق گزارنے کا آرزو مند ہوتا ہے، اور اس طرح اس کے ایّام حیات گزرتے جاتے ہیں اور ماضی کی نظر ہوتے جاتے ہیں۔ اسلامی اصولوں کے مطابق زندگی گزارنے والا شخص معاشرے کے ماتھے کا جھومر ہوتا ہے، قوم اس پر ناز کرتی ہے، اہل خانہ اس پر فخر کرتے ہیں۔ اور اس کے برعکس دوسرا قوم کے لیے باعث عار ہوتا ہے۔
نوجوانوں کو اخلاقی گراوٹ کا شکار اس کی ہم نشینی کرتی ہے، برے اور مذموم لوگوں کا ماحول اس کی عادات کو خراب کرتا ہے، برے دوست اس کی زندگی کو اجیرن بنادیتے ہیں۔ ہر اخلاقی برائی ، اخلاقی عیب ، اس کی عادت ثانیہ بن جاتے ہیں۔ زندگی کی رعنائیاں دم توڑ جاتی ہیں، دلفریبیاں عنقا ہو جاتی ہیں اور یوں وہ برے لوگوں کی صحبت سے برابن جا تا ہے۔
صحبت صالح ترا صالح کند
صحبت طالع ترا طالع کند
جوانی میں جونوجوان توبہ کرتا ہے تو جہاں اس کی زندگی سنورتی ہے وہاں اس کی آخرت بھی سنور جاتی ہے۔ اس کا اٹھنا بیٹھنا معیاری ہو جا تا ہے اور اس کی گفت و شنید جداگانہ ہوتی ہے۔ اور اسلامی اصول اسے دیگر غیر مہذب لوگوںکے ساتھ میل جول سے دور رکھتے ہیں۔...
