RNA – “Besides the religious evolution of Middle Ages and afterwards Secularism, there is a third movement in the world which is basically being led by youths in Europe and United States,” said Ayatollah Araki adding the third wave is “managed by youth.”

Ayatollah Araki noted that the new movement in “neither secularism-friendly nor compatible with church religions.”

Head of the World Forum for Proximity of Islamic Schools of Thought made the remarks regarding the Supreme Leader’s letter to the American and European youth published on 22nd of January 2015 during an interview with Iran’s Asre Andishe Journal.

“The process of third religious movements’ advancement needs a management, and this management requires a spiritual leadership. By writing this letter, Supreme Leader expanded his area of influence from a single nation to a worldwide common spiritual leader,” he said.

Ayatollah Araki stressed on the necessity of recognizing the purpose of Supreme Leader by inviting Western Youths to gain knowledge about Islam without any intermediates adding: “The invitation conducted by Supreme Leader from youths of the West, is about gaining knowledge directly about the former set of implications of Quran. In case of referring to Quran, as the youths get to know the evident principles of Islam, they will be directed towards referring to religious experts to become familiar with detailed implications and their interpretations.”

Back in January of this year, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei sent a highly important message to the European youth on 22nd of January to stress the Islam that the West is trying to portray is a forged concept and not the reality, demanding the younger generation in the West to do research to get firsthand information before accepting their states' propaganda.
