Re: Sibling needs a good male role model...

Asalamu alakum,

How can I look for a good male role model for my brother?
I tried helping and so many others did too.
Would any brothers be willing to help my brother through social media?
I won't post things with detail on here.
I don't know what else to do. I can only hope he will change.
I don't know any Muslims. That could be the issue.
No Islamic influence or Muslims near us.

Any good resources?

Keep us in your duas, please.
Jazakum Allahu Khair.

Give him books which shows Characteristics and Personality of of Prophet :saw:

NOBODY can be a better role model!! :inlove:

Re: Sibling needs a good male role model...

Are there no masajid around?

Any good role model would try his best to follow the ways of the greatest of role models in history: The Prophet :saw: and his companions.
In other words, you can make him read the Seerah of the Prophet :saw: and his Sahaba.
There are also many lectures that you could find online on the seerah and other islamic topics.

I recommend the seerah of Muhammad :saw:, Abu Bakr & Umar رضي الله عنهم by Sheikh Anwar Al-Awlaki.

Re: Sibling needs a good male role model...

do you have no men in your family?

Re: Sibling needs a good male role model...

Those all are things we considered.
Of course, I have many books that I tried sharing.
There's a masjid an hour away and many more farther.
Location and transportation is an issue.
We are considering taking him to an imam.
I thought it would be good if males helped him
especially around his own age.
We have no male family members that are positive
influence or near us.
He left, but he came back. InshaAllah, it will get even better.
I will continue to share these suggestions and find help.
Jazakum Allahu Khair.

How old is your brother? I mean, role models can vary if he's 12 or 18.

Re: Sibling needs a good male role model...

He's 17.

Re: Sibling needs a good male role model...

he's 17 so in sha allah going to the mosque at least once a week (even though its an houraway ) shouldn't be s hard
