Signs that Your Halaqah sucks - Page 2

That's a good point. Give them some positivity as well. Like Ibn Qayyim said, Islam is like a bird whose head is the love of Allah; it's two wings are the hope for His Mercy, and the fear of His Punishment. You need balance.

And since we're talking to youth here, we have to make sure to give practical steps so that they have some means to make progress by the next week. It's not all about talking and listening, but doing.

Lol. Unfortunately Northside has those problems...and it's not because the Halaqah sucks.

I tried PMing you, but I can't do that either.
Idk what's up with my account, because I'll post something and when I got back to the thread or refresh my post won't be there [also the box around my post is darker than the other posts when I first see it], but then it only shows up for good like a few hours later...

And all of a sudden I didn't have an inbox either [and can't send PMs].
