Moral decadence among youths today has become a subject of great concern, which bothers scholars and the general population. Youth have been engaging in activities that are not solely accommodated in the Muslim life. A number of them are now engaged in drug abuse and use of illicit drugs, which has led to other illicit behaviours. On the other hand, there has been a public cry-out regarding the high rate of disobedience to parents engaged by Muslim youths upon which has been an issue of great concern. The rate of respect youth display to their parents is now declining. This study, therefore, examines the Causes and effects of Disobedience to parents by Muslim Youth in Kano State. The study used data from both primary and secondary sources. The findings of the study revealed that disobedience to parents is an issue of great concern; it is caused by different factors, which include lack of parental training, poor attachment to school, peer group or youth subcultures, accommodating with bad friends, availability of drugs, etc. Based on the findings, the study recommends that parent should give their children a firm Islamic education right from their childhood.
