Important Guidance for the Youth of the Ummah

Author: Al-'Allamah Ash-Shaikh Salih Ibn Fawzan Al-Fawzan

There is no doubt that the youth of the Ummah are the foundations of the human building upon which established this nation. So the youth are the younger generation that will carry the responsibility after their fathers. The youth have within them bodily strength and thinking, they have talents, skills and aptitude that are new and modern that are not present in older people. The elder folk have wisdom and experience, whilst the youth have strength and preparedness and readiness. So if the youth and the elders were to work together for the advancement of the Ummah, much good would be achieved. However, if the youth go their own way, separate from their elders, the devils from the human and the Jinn will come in between them [to cause mischief]. So the sidelining of the youth towards other objectives and aims is harmful to the Ummah.
