Youth Are Successive Generations
In fact, young people are the next generation of future leaders and fathers for future descendants, on the shoulders the task of education and leadership of the people will come.
The good of the youth is the good of the ummah and the destruction of youth is the destruction of this people, because age is spent by youth and most of the people are filled with youth!
Youth is a time of many challenges and battles of influence of good and bad, while most young people have not yet reached mature maturity, so that there are opportunities to be changed and littered with negative influences. Ibnul Jauzi rahimahullah said,
وهذا هو الموسم الأعظم الذي يقع فيه جهاد النفس والهوى وغلبة الشيطان. وبصيانة هذا الموسم يحصل القرب من الله عز وجل, وبالتفريط فيه يقع الخسران العظيم, وبالصبر فيه عن الزلل يثنى على الصابرين, كما أثنى الله فيه على الصابر يوسف.
"Youth is the greatest time that has happened in the struggle to control the soul, subdue lust and defeat Satan. By keeping this period, a young man will be close to Allah za Azza wa Jalla, while abandoning this youth will swallow a great loss. Patience in youth from disobedience will receive praise (Allah) which is for those who are patient. As God praised the patient, the Prophet Yusuf during his youth (Masimil ‘Umri, Ibnul Jauzi, p. 45) 2.
