Paying attention to religious values in the society and strengthening the religious beliefs of young people is one of the needs that should always be taken seriously, because religion, by introducing the origin, destination and purpose of life, gives a special behavioral pattern to walk the path of life to human beings and gives meaning to life. Pure nature and gentle spirit prepare the youth for any kind of learning and better acceptance of the word of truth, because religion is the best shelter that can help young people to overcome despair, frustration and escape from astonishment and confusion by presenting the right worldview.
