Shaykh Sâlih Al-Fawzân حفظه الله :
Many of the youth have forsaken the scholars and do not take from them. The great trial and tribulation that arose from this has been seen, when someone appeared making claims of jihaad and knowledge, so ruin, terror and killing occurred in the land. This is the result of disassociating from the scholars because those (people) kept away from the scholars and went to those like them amongst the callers to misguidance and the people of deviated views. So they brainwashed and informed them of these views. This is the result of disassociating from the scholars, the society, the jamaa-ah of the Muslims and their leader.

Shaykh Sâlih Al-Fawzân حفظه الله :
Upon you O youths! Is that you preserve your time for that which is beneficial to you in your religious and worldly affairs- in seeking provision and knowledge, doing good to parents, fulfilling the obligatory affairs and keeping away from the forbidden. This is what you should be upon, for indeed it is the path to safety. Be warned against wasting your time with worthless things, the Internet or with the newspapers that bring about evil and are associated with deviated views.

“O mankind! Be dutiful to your Lord, Who created you from a single person (Adam), and from him (Adam) He created his wife [Hawwa (Eve)], and from them both He created many men and women and fear Allah through Whom you demand your mutual (rights), and (do not cut the relations of) the wombs (kinship). Surely, Allah is Ever an All-Watcher over you.” [ An-Nisâʾ :1 ]
The Messenger (ﷺ) said to ʿAbdullâh ibn ʿAbbâs) whilst he was still a youth, “O young boy, surely I will teach you some words: Be mindful of Allâh and he will protect you, be mindful of Allâh and you will find him in-front of you.” [ At-Tirmidhî ]
The Messenger of Allâh (ﷺ) mentioned to Ibn ʿAbbâs: “If you ask then ask of Allâh, and know that if all the people were to gather together to benefit you with something, they could not benefit you except with that which Allâh has already written for you – and if they were to gather together to harm you with anything they would not be able to harm you except with that which Allâh has already written and decreed for you. Indeed the pens have been lifted and the pages have dried.” [ At-Tirmidhî ]
And I (Allâh) created not the jinn and mankind except that they should worship Me (Alone). [ Adh-Dhâriyyât : 56 ]
Say (O Muhammad ﷺ) to mankind): "If you (really) love Allâh then follow me (i.e. accept Islâmic Monotheism, follow the Qur’ân and the Sunnah), Allâh will love you and forgive you your sins. And Allâh is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."
[ Âl-ʿImrân : 31 ]
Ustâdh Abû Muʾâdh Taqweem Aslam [ حفظه الله ] spoke on the virtue of seeking knowledge of Tawhîd [our purpose] and how itʾs a shield for the believer. As a young person, it is only in submission to Allâh that you can flee from the evil and immorality we find in the Dunyâ [this world] today! So upon you is to seek knowledge of Tawhîd.
