Fact of Arabs

At one time, we all were children and we frequently asked such questions as: when would we become adults? What is the turning point between childhood and adulthood? When is one considered a child, and when is one considered an adult.

Puberty marks the stage of religious obligation, which is the turning point from childhood to adulthood. When a person reaches puberty, he bids farewell to childhood, and leaves behind its affairs. The stage of puberty is characterized by various physical, mental and psychological changes. These changes do not always occur simultaneously. The remarkable increase in growth rate and the alteration of the voice quality and other physical signs may occur; all for a purpose known only to Allah. This period also witnesses changes in reasoning patterns and emotions.
