Youth having no knowledge and reading dangerous literature‏‏

Shaykh ‘Umar Baazmool states: 

“This poor heedless person does not know that the one who does not have cannot give. How can he successfully call to the religion and he is ignorant of it? He was not inclined towards the lessons of knowledge, nor did he look out for the scholars, nor did he accompany them. He was not given to knowledge, not some of it nor all of it. Concerning it (knowledge), he is barren and famine.” ["Interaction With The Scholars" p. 20]

Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen: 

"Another reason for the youth’s problems is the reading of dangerous literature like treatises, newspapers, magazines and other material which cast doubt in the person concerning his religion and belief. These reading materials lead him to Hell and degenerate his virtuous manners.This literature causes him to fall into Kufr and evil if he doesn’t have a strong defense of profound Islamic education and acuteness, in order for him to be able to distinguish between the truth and falsehood or that which is beneficial from that which is harmful.The reading of literature like this turns the teenager completely upside-down. This is due to the fact, which they come across fertile ground in the minds and thoughts of the youth without hindrance.Accordingly, these dangerous ideas are deeply rooted and are reflected in the individuals’s mind and life. [Taken from "Mushkilaat Ash-Shabaab", Pp. 32-33, by Ibn 'Uthaymeen]

Shaykh Saalih Al-Fawzaan mentions:

“Ignorance is prevailing amongst the adolescent concerning their religion. This is because they don’t study their religion and its sciences enough where they can distinguish between bad and good, between harmful and beneficial and between halaal and haraam.The solution for this problem is to have the youth establish study circles with the scholars established in masjids, schools and other places. These sittings should address and clarify their problems, and clear the path in front of them. Indeed, the scholars have a great responsibility towards the youth.However I bitterly say that there is a large gap between the scholars and the youth. The majority of the scholars are on one side and the youth are on the other.This is from among the things that harm the youth.Whenever the youth attach themselves to the scholars, they gain clarity concerning their affairs. On the other hand, whenever the youth are detached from the scholars, this huge deterioration occurs.” [Taken from "Min Mushkilaat Ash-Shabaab Wa Kayfa 'Aaleejuha Islaam" by Shaykh Saalih Al-Fawzaan, Pp. 33-34]
