Abstract

Intellectual, spiritual, and economic voids are significant factors contributing to the spread of the phenomenon of takfir and terrorism. The absence of an effective state role in economic matters, coupled with the lack of involvement by scholars in intellectual and educational aspects, accelerates the spread of this epidemic. Addressing these gaps helps the youth avoid the pitfalls of doubt, extremism, and misguidance. Consequently, students of knowledge, and young people in general, can fulfill their roles in disseminating knowledge, culture, and ethics, becoming beacons of guidance for those lost in the deserts of strife and misguidance, leading them to the oases of guidance and enlightenment. This process quenches thirsty souls, heals wounded hearts, and turns texts and knowledge into rays of light that illuminate the world with love, development, and peace. It offers a gentle touch to the mind, spirit, and heart, acting as a balm that heals afflictions. Humanity, in turn, will find happiness and shelter under the teachings and guidance of the Prophet of Mercy, our Master Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, his family, and his noble companions.
