Protecting Our Youth from Deviant Ideas.

Question:
How do we protect our youth from deviant and foreign ideas that promote fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) and the division of the believers?

Answer:
Answer: Yes, that is done by protecting them, paying attention to their gatherings, checking on their conditions, and keeping them away from their enemy, who lies in wait for them and targets them in their places of gathering. So let us protect them from this, and let us be constantly with them in our guarding and our supervision, and let us not neglect them. Also, that is done by reforming education and reforming the media; by that, the ummah (the Muslim community) will be set right. If education is reformed and the media is reformed, then that is by which Allah protects this ummah, protects its religion and its 'aqidah (creed), and safeguards it from imported ideas, calls to misguidance, and deviant methodologies. The matter is serious now; the Muslims are undoubtedly in great danger from their enemies. But if they hold fast to the Book of their Lord, the Sunnah of their Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the biography of the Salaf (the earliest generations), and if they strengthen the curricula of education—education in 'aqidah, in religion, in morals, and in the sound methodology—and likewise the media, which enters every home, every car, and every place, so that it becomes Islamic media in the true sense of the word, then it will protect this society from foreign and imported ideas.
