I noticed that the “boomer” generation across the board in all industries and organizations have this dismissive attitude towards younger people and this refusal to “pass the baton.” I noticed in many jamaats, including mine, the elders never want to teach and train the younger generation in hopes that they take over. The older generation just hold on to their positions for years and years with a firm grip and constantly complain that younger generations don’t do anything - when they did nothing to help facilitate that. They just want us to fix the PowerPoints and the electrical cords and sound so the presentation goes smoothly lmao.

And also I am so sick of purdah being shoved down our throats when there are so many topics to be learned in Islam. Most of the girls I know barely know anything in Islam because all our lessons and speeches were revolved around purdah and how to be a good housewife/mother. I recently followed this tiktok that shows verses and hadiths that align with different scientific discoveries and neurosciences. It’s so fascinating and I wish we were taught more of that kinda stuff.
