From an Islamic perspective, dear parents realise there is no such thing as a teenager.

From an Islamic perspective, you're either a child or you're an adult.

And teenagers are on the side of adulthood.

This is one of the fundamental differences between the Islamic paradigm and Muslim culture

and Islamic law versus Western civilization when it comes to raising children.

They have made a category called teenager.

Whereas for us, a young man or woman is indeed a young man or woman,

but a young man or a young woman.

And that means that once you become Balir, which is 13, 14, 15 at max at max,

once you become Balir, then you are going to be treated in the eyes of Allah like an adult.

So teenagers are not children, they are young adults.

Once they are Balir, responsibility becomes on them,

and they are primarily responsible in the eyes of Allah.
