Man therefore, is born with a moral sense which clearly enables him to differentiate between right and wrong, good and bad. That is why it is not out of place to say a society, shrouded in immoral acts is certain to breed wayward and unscrupulous elements. In order to actually submit to the good morality, one must speak the truth, keep promises, respect family ties, and help the poor, less privileged and weak ones. This possibly has not been unconnected with the fact that the Muslims took their guidance from the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W 2 .). Sadly enough, these moral qualities that ought to be imbibed by all and sundry diminish or were drastically absent among the Muslim society today. In order to get out of the bondage of servitude of one’s desire to commit certain immoral acts, everyone in the society desires efficient knowledge and skill, societal norms and values. Having this in mind, it is not contestable that one should not do to others what one does not want to be done to oneself. This perhaps indicates that one must wish others what one wishes for oneself. To contravene the moral principles that guide the affairs of the Muslim society is no doubt a great menace which will not only affect the religious and moral set up of the Muslims but also their economic and social domain. It is not therefore exaggeration to state that many of the problems afflicting the society today could be the result of their undoings either in relation to their Creator or fellow human beings. It is thus in line with this backdrop that this paper intends to discuss immoral acts and their resultant effect among the Muslim society. To achieve the objectives of the research, the paper attempts to answer some basic questions in order to unravel the immoral acts and their resultant effect among the Muslim society generally. What are the causes of immoral acts? What are various forms of immoral acts being perpetrating by Muslims society? What are the effects of these immoral acts? What are the roles of government, teachers and other stakeholders in shaping the behaviour of the Muslims? How the moral standard does ensures prosperity of individuals and the society? What are the factors that help grow the moral faculty of Muslim society in making them religiously inclined to good standard of living? To achieve the objectives of the research, the paper adopts analytical phenomenological methodology. Key words: Immoral acts, Effect, Muslim, Youth Introduction: Character moulding is a collective enterprise that involves many people in the society. These include parents, teachers, well- to-do and religious leaders as well as other members of the public. Each of these groups has critical role in ensuring that members of the society become good citizens so as to be able to contribute to meaningful development in their respective areas. The position of parents on this regard is enormous as they are the ones to serve as role models to their children in social and even religious lives, hence the popular adage that charity begins at home. It is not exaggeration to however state that many of the problems associated with immoral acts afflicting the Muslim society today could be the result of their undoings. These infractions, which are numerous, are being committed by virtually all segments of the society. For instance, some parents do not frankly counsel their children on the desirability for them to embrace good norms and values of the society. They fail to understand that such admonition from time to time helps to grow the moral faculty of their children, thereby making them religiously inclined to good standard of living. This is
