Assalamu Alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu.
Sheikh Muhammed Salih Al-Munajjid discussed about 4 most common problems of today's youths and modern society and their solutions in this book.
May be, this is my 6th book of Sheikh Munajjid I have finished. He is one of the most influential scholars of modern society. His every discussion relates with the modern problems, problems of the youth and etc.
The four problems discussed in this books are about:
1) Missing the Fajr prayer
2) Excessive laughter
3) Sleeping late at night &
4) Short Temper (Anger)
Although we think, these are normal problems and avoid these problems, these are some of the worst problems a Muslim can have. So we urgently need the solution.
Overall, nice book. Topics have been discussed according to the Holy Qur'an and Authentic Hadiths.
You can read the book or if you want a short summary of this short book, I am not sure but I can try to manage my time to make one.
Jazakallah khairan.

Very short and straight to the point, and evidence is provided also.
Would like to find other books like this that I can finish in one sitting and benefit from them, in shaa Allah
