وَإِذۡ قَالَ لُقۡمَـٰنُ لِٱبۡنِهِۦ وَهُوَ يَعِظُهُ ۥ يَـٰبُنَىَّ لَا تُشۡرِكۡ بِٱللَّهِۖ إِنَّ ٱلشِّرۡكَ لَظُلۡمٌ عَظِيمٌ۬
“Behold, Luqman said to his son admonishing him: "O my son! Join not in worship (others) with Allah: for false worship is indeed the highest wrong-doing."(31:13)

Hope
Today, Muslims dwell in all corners of the world: from the Indian to the Sahara; from the coldest mountains of Russia to the rainforest of Amazon; from the great walls of China to the civilization of North America. Beyond the variation of nationalities, divisions of cultures, or differences of political views, Islam should be the strongest bond that links together our souls. We should be one nation with one mission, calling on and worshipping one God, Allah.
Young Muslimah
Aim
Understanding each other and embracing our differences, and using this as a source of strength instead of a reason for division and confusion is the key to our success. Unity is the only solution to our existing problem. As a young Muslims residing in the west, you live in two different worlds. You try to carry the culture of your parents while finding your place in the western civilization. Instead of incorporating Islam into your western heritage, your aim should be to incorporate Islamic culture in to your life.

Process
Learning about Islam is the best way to establish a solid foundation, and tackle the challenges faced by young Muslims today. Using Quranic and Hadith based knowledge to eliminating verbal conflicts, Islamic threats, and ignorant situations should be your only way out. Use Islamic Sheria was integrated to guide all Muslims in all types of situation by Allah’s will. It’s the duty of all Muslimahs to know how to apply each law, ayah, or hadith in every situation.

Achievement
You are the backbone of this Ummah and role model for many and as such you need to take your responsibility critically. You should show others what can be accomplished as a strong Muslim whose uppermost priority is to acquire strong beneficial knowledge and be obedient to Allah by following the footsteps of Prophet Mohammad (pbuh). Then and only then you will achieve the highest level that is set for you. The Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) mentioned the echelon of those young Muslims who worship Allah at a young age.
