The progress of nations lies in the hands of educated youth. Presently, our Muslims youth are facing numerous challenges. This include western propaganda against Islam as a threat to peace, moral degradation, lacking spirit of inquiry, internet addiction, blind following of western norms and cultures and various kinds of social problems such as violence, gambling and pornography. Our Muslim youth is wandering in identity crises and have forgotten the true spirit of Islam and the achievements of our forefathers. Majority of youth are copying and adopting the western style of life and cultural involvement. One reason for this may be the education system that we have inherited from the colonial masters. This is also replicated by electronic media and the Western propaganda against Islam that we don’t take pride to be staunch Muslims otherwise; we will be blamed as extremists. Our education system has also failed in instilling the spirit of inquiry, critical thinking and moral judgment in our youth. In order to develop the potential of our youth to reform our society and not to be led by baseless beliefs, the role of teaching is very important. With this goal in mind, the students should be empowered through argumentation skills. This requires teaching students through argumentation method by involving/guiding students to make a claim then write justification for their claim and finally counter argument to support their claim. The essence of argumentation is not new as the Holy Qur’ān repeatedly stressed the believers to use their intellect, to critically observe their surroundings and avoid baseless information. Practice with argumentation will help in developing critical skills in our youth and in making informed decisions. They would not blindly follow western norms and would be able to answer western propaganda through solid arguments and valid justifications.
The current study, illustrate the toxicity of five pesticides i.e. sulfoxaflor, nitenpyram, spinetoram, azoxystrobin and neem leaf extract against imago (Pheretima posthuma Kinberg) earthworm in respect of its impact on total protein, protein mobility by electrophoresis and activity of cholinesterase. By applying the contact cum feeding method the earthworms were exposed to the test materials. Three major parts of LD50 exposed alive and active earthworms have been subjected to the estimation of total protein amounts, the activity of cholinesterase and for protein mobility through native gel electrophoresis. The average percent mortality was found to be 20%, 40%, 60%, 70% and 90% and 20%, 30%, 40%, 60% and 80% of post treatments in respect of doses i.e. 0.06, 0.12, 0.24, 0.48, 0.96 ppm of soil, under the effect of sulfoxaflor and nitenpyram respectively. The average percent mortality was found to be 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, 90% and 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 70% and 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 60% against the treatment doses of 0.50, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0 and 8.0 ppm in soil by the spinetoram, azoxistrobin and neem leaf extract respectively. The LD50 values of neem leaf extract were foundat 5.47 ppm as compared to the LD50 values of other four compounds under studies sulfoxaflor, nitenpyram, spinetoram, azoxystrobin were observed as 0.1841, 0.2908, 1.4288, 3.2107 ppm of soil respectively. It was observed that in the peristomium region amongst all the treatments the preponderance amount of protein was found as 56.5>38.86>35.23>30.6>28.6 mg/ml at post treatment of neem extract, nitenpyram, sulfoxaflor, spinetoram and azoxystrobin respectively. In the clitellum region amongst all the treatments the preponderance amount of protein was found at 66.8>42.0>48.1>43.2>34.0 mg/ml at post treatment of neem leaf extract, sulfoxaflor, nitenpyram, azoxystrobin and spinetoram respectively, while in the abdomen region the total amount of protein was found as 58.0>44.5>39.0>36.0>35.0 mg/ml at post treatment of neem leaf extract, spinetoram, nitenpyram, azoxystrobin and sulfoxaflor respectively. Comparatively, in the control batch the total amount of protein was found in the peristomium region as 66.1-78.2 mg/ml, clitellum region as 72.0-85.0 mg/ml and abdomen region as 60.0- 78.0 mg/ml.

In the clitellum region amongst all the treatments, the cholinesterase inhibition was found at 30sec as 57.11%>51.62%>27.09%>25.46% at post treatments of nitenpyram, spinetoram, sulfoxaflor and azoxystrobin respectively, the cholinesterase inhibition was found at 60sec as 52.00%>28.81%>19.42%>09.33% at post treatments of sulfoxaflor, spinetoram, nitenpyram and azoxystrobin respectively, the cholinesterase inhibition was found at 90sec as 68.84%>33.58%>23.44%>22.90% at post treatments of nitenpyram, sulfoxaflor, azoxystrobin and spinetoram respectively.

In the abdomen region amongst all the treatments, the cholinesterase inhibition was found at 30sec as 90.00%>81.58%>64.89%>64.89%>51.50% at post treatments of nitenpyram, sulfoxaflor, spinetoram, azoxystrobin and neem leaf extract respectively, the cholinesterase inhibition was found at 60 sec as 74.29%>73.96%>73.96%>60.59%>52.77% post treatments of spinetoram, nitenpyram, sulfoxaflor, azoxystrobin and neem leaf extract respectively, the cholinesterase inhibition was found at 90sec as 77.76%>68.84%>50.72%>34.61% >33.58% at post treatment of spinetoram, nitenpyram, azoxystrobin, neem leaf extract and sulfoxaflor respectively.
