How We Protect Our Young Sons from Misguided Thought

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is also a question from one of the attendees. Your Excellency the Shaykh, how do we protect our young sons, especially those who have been influenced by misguided thought, particularly those who do not display it openly but rather in secret?

Answer:
This is the obligation of teachers and the obligation of preachers in the mosques. It is the obligation of those who call to Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Each person has an obligation to resist these destructive, invasive ideas. To explain to the youth and students the danger of these ideas that snatch them away.
And to urge them to hold fast to their religion, to seek beneficial knowledge, and to follow the path of their fathers and grandfathers in clinging to this religion. These are great matters that are in dire need at this time. And to warn them of these channels and stations where evil and misguided calls are spread. To warn them of their dangers and their harms, to explain to them the perils they contain, and to warn them of the callers to misguidance who claim affiliation with knowledge while they are contrary to the methodology of knowledge.
They only take that title to deceive people. There are scholars of misguidance, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I fear for my Ummah (community) the misleading imams." This is a great danger that comes from the callers to misguidance and the scholars of misguidance. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) feared for this Ummah.
Especially in the end times. We must be wary and cautious of this. Of this directed intellectual invasion aimed at our youth and our lands. We must resist it, defend against it, and explain its danger to our society and our children. First, to the callers, to the preachers in the mosques, to the teachers in the classrooms, to be alert to this matter. Yes.
