Abstract

The Qur'an has remarkable reports and evaluations concerning the youth and regards them as possessing a power that can be interpreted in its spiritual sense as benevolence, idealism, battle against the corrupted environment, synergy, and malleability. If the youth stay secured from such pathologies as intellectual inertia, follies resulting from selfishness, hopelessness, dominant sexual instinct, and inferiority complex; and if the adults cooperate with them in such fields as devotedness, education, tolerance, self-respect, provision of models, and marriage, then history will be written in a more desirable way.
