The Impact of Volunteer Work in Protecting Youth from Delinquency

Young people possess tremendous energy, which requires societies to harness it in practical activities so that it is not wasted on useless activities. Taking care of young people's energy through volunteer work has two benefits: First, it provides valuable services to societies through this idle energy, much of which is wasted on social media screens; and second, it protects these young people from falling into the clutches of immoral behaviors and addiction to behaviors that lead them to destruction, or these people fall into the traps of deviant groups and movements that spread on social media, destroying societies before the destruction of these young people themselves. Therefore, Islam has taken care of the energies of young people and directed them toward volunteer work to protect them and utilize these energies in the service of society and religion. In this research paper, we attempt to shed light on these meanings.
