TEHRAN (Dispatches) -- Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei on Saturday urged Muslim university students in Europe to understand the developments and expectations of the current era and prepare themselves for them.
Ayatollah Khamenei made the remarks in a message to the 52nd meeting of the Union of Islamic Students’ Associations in Europe.
"The current era and its developments define certain expectations for young individuals, which did not exist or were not known in previous times,” the Leader said.
"Young university students should, thoroughly, understand these developments and the corresponding expectations, and thus prepare themselves,” he added.
The Leader emphasized that Islamic associations and their religious atmosphere could assist the young in preparing themselves.
"The main point is that you work for the sake of God, enthusiastically, fulfilling your duties,” Ayatollah Khamenei said.
"If you accomplish the blessed opportunity (to do so), Divine Guidance will also come to your aid, God willing,” the Leader added.
In his message to the 51st meeting of the Union of Islamic Students’ Associations in Europe last January, Ayatollah Khamenei urged Muslim students in Europe to make an impact on their surroundings and promote Islam.
"You have no excuses. What is expected from you, dear ones, is something more than scientific, religious, and ethical self-improvement,” Ayatollah Khamenei said.
This is the duty of all Muslims in the "asymmetric war” of the arrogant powers against the raised flag of pure Islam, Ayatollah Khamenei added.
