One of the sources of emulation of Najaf emphasized the need for the youth to adhere to authentic Islamic culture. According to Rasa News Agency’s correspondent in Najaf, Ayatollah Bashir al-Najafi met with a group of university students who recently graduated from summer courses in Iraq’s southern Dhi Qar governorate and said, “The youth must adhere to the thought and path of the Ahl al-Bayt so that they can stalwartly rise up to defend pure Islam.”
The revered Najaf-based source of emulation noted, “These summer courses are in fact sadaqah al-jariyyah (continuous charity) for its organizers and each of the youths is a graduate of a set of sciences and lessons from the Ahl al-Bayt.”
Ayatollah al-Najafi called for the youth to be armed with the original Islamic culture in opposition to any movement which stands against this divine religion and stated, “Atheistic institutions and centres resort to various doubts to deceive the youth.”
