My younger brother and his embarrassing questions!

In the beginning, I cannot hide my amazement with the strong relationship you have with your younger brother; this is wonderful! You should remember to keep this relationship open during the coming years perhaps Allah would protect your brother from the dangers of adolescence through the permanent connection between you two, as we invoke Allah to keep this relationship safe from threats or control.

We should admit that what is going on between grown up adolescents these days is completely different from what was going on between us when we were in their ages. Globalization has changed everything around us, Allah is the Only One sought for help!

The important thing now is: How can we respond to this new painful and annoying reality?

I see that most questions may be explained in a polite and acceptable style, moreover they may be put in a good and useful guiding framework because escaping these questions and working on suppressing and repressing him as you noted is not a solution, but the solution is to hasten to a positive work to protect a young man who has just begun his life.

What should we discuss seriously is the nature of friends and classmates who surround your brother. It is true that schools are filled with corrupted manners but still there are conservative students who are of good manners, so be careful to make them around your brother in school, neighborhood, and in the masjid.

Finally, I would like to repeat the importance of maintaining the spectacular relationship with your brother and remember that it is better that your brother tell you about all that is going with him than telling you about things that please you.

Thank you for visiting Alukah, and I hope that you find here all that interests and benefits you.

Peace be upon you!
