Muslim Youth Are Leaving Islam… But Why?

Every year 100,000 Muslims leave Islam in America. And half of them are between 18 and 28. But why? While studies and surveys give us statistics, they often fail to explain the deeper reasons behind this trend. This video goes beyond the surface to explore the real causes — from upbringing and unanswered questions, to the impact of social media, education, and community disconnect. Through a thoughtful conversation, we break down: - Why many youth feel disconnected from Islam - The role of parents and upbringing - How social media influences belief and doubt - The impact of education and modern thinking - Why harshness can push people away from faith - And what we, as a community, can do better This is not about blaming — it’s about understanding, reflecting, and improving. If we want to preserve faith in the next generation, we need to start asking the right questions.
