Therefore,<br \/>\ndiminishing their value or treating them with a mindset that dismisses their<br \/>\nintellectual capacities does not yield positive results and may instead produce<br \/>\ncounterproductive effects.<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-size:20.0pt;\nline-height:115%;font-family:&quot;Sakkal Majalla&quot;\">What is needed, he explained, is<br \/>\nto build friendships with them, benefit from their abilities, and regard them<br \/>\nas partners in shaping the future.

Loving the<br \/>\nProphet is not merely a verbal claim but a practical commitment to his ethics<br \/>\nand guidance. The path to this is through emulating his life, cherishing the<br \/>\nQur\u2019an, and frequently recalling his virtues. Just as a person naturally speaks<br \/>\nof those they love, and a parent takes pride in their child\u2019s achievements, a<br \/>\nbeliever expresses love for the Prophet through adherence to his moral example.<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align:justify\"><b><span style=\"font-size:20.0pt;\nline-height:115%;font-family:&quot;Sakkal Majalla&quot;;color:#002060\">Inclusion Builds<br \/>\nthe Future<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-size:20.0pt;\nline-height:115%;font-family:&quot;Sakkal Majalla&quot;\">He concluded by affirming that<br \/>\nthe development of youth is achieved through inclusion rather than exclusion,<br \/>\nguidance rather than reproach, and dialogue rather than accusation. Societies<br \/>\nthat embrace their younger generations and invest in their potential are those<br \/>\ncapable of building a more stable and progressive future.
