For youths and teenagers, how do you make them interested in
Islamic education? This is because, sometimes even their
parents don’t really educate their children in Islamic education.
But as friends or as mentors of these youths, my question is
how do you make them interested. Because sometimes even
when you try to approach the topic to them, they will turn and
switch off. So how do you approach?

Da’wah – so-called “Da’wahpreneur ” , “Da’wah 2.0 ” etc. which

AND IT IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBERAND IT IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER

A Sister (revert/convert) once posed this question :
“How does one do “Da'wah” to our close ones
(siblings/relatives)? I find this rather to be more
difficult than making “Da'wah” towards a stranger.
Yet, we must never neglect them.”

Yes! Many do find it rather difficult to "Da'wah" (call or invite) own
siblings / relatives / spouses, as compared to doing same towards
people whom they barely know.
Yet, when we merely view our effort at only providing sincere advise -
unassuming i.e. by not trying to be talking from a 'higher pedestal' (as if
they assume the role of Da'i - as one having authority who is doing
Da'wah), it becomes much easier. And we should offer it to our close
ones routinely as part of our interaction with them.
When this becomes our disposition (Akhlaq), things will get easier.
