RNA – In his Friday prayer sermon delivered to a large and fervent crowd of believers in the ‎‎‎‎‎‎‎Iraqi holy city of Karbala’s Holy Shrine of Imam al-Husayn, Hujjat al-Islam Abdul-Mahdi al-‎‎‎‎‎‎‎Karbala’i‎ ‎referred to the dangers that are threatening Iraqi society, in particular the youth, ‎and said, “The youth should appreciate the blessings of their youth and not waste their ‎holidays in vain.”‎

The representative of Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Ali al-Sistani in Karbala ‎added, “Satellite ‎television programs, virtual networks and attractive electronic games have engrossed our ‎youth from dawn until night and their growth and development have become discontinued.”‎

Hujjat al-Islam al-Karbala’i ‎described the university students as the future of the country and ‎said, “We are witnessing the closure of schools and universities, and in some areas, students ‎are passing their final days of examinations, which means that the months of effort, study, ‎thinking and preparation of millions of students for the future have come to an end.”‎
‎ ‎
His Eminence ‎considered the period of youth as a period of thought, progress, creation and ‎innovation, and said, “The youth must take advantage of this stage of their lives. Some of ‎these holidays are used correctly and others are harmful. For four months every year, ‎students from elementary school to university have holidays, while they are preparing for the ‎future of the country.”‎

Hujjat al-Islam al-Karbala’i described holidays as a blessing for students to use to grow their ‎character and added, “School lessons aren’t enough to build a successful human being who ‎can take on different responsibilities. Therefore, if his character isn’t formed correctly, he will ‎face a variety of problems in the future.”‎
