I said to his family: “Find a spouse for Masood.

I said to his family: “Find a spouse for Masood.” They said: “Oh no! He is still a child. Let him complete his university education and find himself a job and provide a house and means of life. Then we will think about him.” Masood entered university. I occasionally reminded his family that Masood needed a spouse and they repeated the same reply. After some time lapsed, he started losing his “colours” gradually, and his appearance and dress changed.

His eyes, which were innocent and never caught the prohibited things steadily and gradually became careless and he got involved in casting wanton glances. And he continued on until: ثم كان عاقبة الذين أساءوا السوءي أن كذبوا بآيات الله و كانوا بها يستهزئون.

“Then evil was the end of those who did evil, because they rejected the communication of Allah and used to mock them.”(30:10) Now he has graduated from university, but he is no more the “Masood” that he once used to be; instead, he has turned into a wretched and sinister Masood who is the cause of his family and friend's shame. Oh Allah, you know that these youth are the capital of Islam and Islamic revolution and the Islamic country of Iran.

Be their helper and save them from sinking into the marshes of corruption, debauchery, indifference and disbelief. An Auspicious and Blessed Specimen Ja’far was one of Masood's friends. He was also a pure and pious young man. A girl who was his match became engaged to him during his secondary school education. He married and joined the university. He was a success both in his marital life and his studies.

He ended the period of his university studies safely and reached the higher level of education. The higher he reached in his studies, the more complete became his faith, piety and morality. Right now, having received his master's degree, he is busy serving at an important, responsible post. He has a prosperous life, and is the cause of the eminence and exaltation of his family, friends, and society. Ja’far and his family's economic status was lower than that of Masood and his family.

(It must not be thought that Ja’far was of a rich family who could have him married and Masood's was a poor one, so they could not. Unfortunately, this devil of 'material thinking' and measuring everything with the yardstick of money has become quiet strong in our society!) 2- Benefiting and Enjoying a Sweet and Cheerful Youth The spring of marriage is the duration of youth.
