Advice for Youth in the Age of Proliferating Doubts

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah bless you. Also, the brother 'Abd al-Rahman (may Allah preserve him) says: Your Eminence the Shaykh, youth are the strength of Islam, and your honor knows that the minds of youth are the target of the enemies of Muslims, who have diversified their means to ensnare youth in their traps and plunge them into the mire of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) at times, and cast doubts upon them, and so on. How do we direct youth to the sound, wholesome thought that emanates from the Qur'an and the Sunnah?

Answer:
We direct them to seek knowledge from scholars; they should seek knowledge from scholars, for that is a guarantee of guidance, with Allah's permission, and a guarantee against falling into doubts and suspicions. So they should be required to seek knowledge, either in schools, institutes, and colleges, or in mosques and gatherings of knowledge under the hands of scholars. Yes.
