Advising Youth Who are Spreading Islamic Awareness

Question :

What is your advice for the youth of today who are spreading Islamic awareness?

Answer:

This is an awakening that delights every believer, and it can correctly be described as an Islamic revivalist movement. Such awakening is obligatory to encourage and that it must focus on adherence to the Book and the Sunnah. Theleaders and individuals that make up this movement must abstain from any form of exaggeration and excessiveness, for Allâh Almighty said:
"O People of the Scripture (Jews and Christians)! Do not exceed the limits in your religion."

And the Prophet ﷺ said:
"Beware of exaggeration in religion, for what destroyed those before you was exaggeration in religion."

He also said:
"The exaggerators are destroyed;" he said it three times.

It is obligatory for them to continually focus on seeking the guidance of Allah, reformation of the hearts and deeds, and adherence to the truth. They should hold fast to the Noble Qur'an, in a complete manner by reciting it, reflecting on its meanings, and applying its precepts. They should also adhere to the pure Sunnah, because it is the second source, and because it explains the Book of Allâh, as Allâh Almighty said:
"And We have also sent down unto you (O Muhammad) the reminder and the advice (the Qur'an), that you may explain clearly to men what is sent down to them, and that they may give thought."

And He said:
"And We have not sent down the Book (the Qur'an) to you (O Muhammad), except that you may explain clearly unto them those things in which they differ, and (as) a guidance and a mercy for a folk who believe."

It is also required for those who call to the way of Allâh that they cooperate and advise those who are involved in these Islamic movements, struggling to remove any skepticism that confounds such work, due to the Saying of Allâh Almighty:
"Help you one another in Al-Birr and At-Taqwa (virtue, righteousness, and piety); but do not help one another in sin and transgression."
