The youth must be given greater freedom and for solving their problems, there is a need for building the appropriate cultural tools, so that the youth themselves may avoid going towards deeds which are against the norms of religious values. Creating the right cultural atmosphere for the young who are seeking after novelties and beauty is more effective than applying force or making threats. Basically, Islam seeks after beauty just as it is in man’s nature to seek after it. Fundamentally, Islam puts great value on the worship of the youth who were among the first to follow the prophet (PBUH), and even one of the complaints levied on Mohammad (PBUH) was the accusation that he had taken the youth away from their elders and was the cause of their corruption since they had accepted Islam.

During the course of the Iranian Islamic movement too, at first it was the educated youth who joined the ranks of the revolutionaries before any other group or population, it was the students who came forward.

I am of the opinion that today’s generation of youth is thirsty for Islamic truths. If we could introduce these facts to them as they truly are, they would easily accept them. If any difficulties exist for our young, it is because we have been unable to introduce them to the real Islam as it could have and should have been done. That is, in practice and in words and to acknowledge Islam as an easy religion, we should introduce Islam as a religion of wisdom and rationality, and allow the young generation to ask questions and be ready to answer those questions.
