Yes. Dear Youth!
You read about the words of the Prophet (pbuh) that directly addressed you and learned them.
Who knows what you felt?
Maybe you shuddered, shivered and got goose bumps when you read some hadiths.
For, they warned you and laid a burden on you; they shook you.
You shivered when you read some hadiths.
For, they frightened you; they mentioned death, resurrection and Hell.
When you learned some hadiths, you probably shed tears and cried.
For, they were moving.
When you read some hadiths, you rejoiced and became glad.
For, they gave you glad tidings.
To sum up, you were together with and learned from the Prophet (pbuh), who worked, struggled and cried for you throughout his life and sent messages by thinking of you from fourteen centuries earlier.
What did the Prophet want from you?
First, he wanted a strong belief. He advised you to believe in Allah and to obey His orders fully.
Then, he ordered us to perform all fard worship, especially five daily prayers.
What else?
He wanted us to abandon illegitimate lust, meaningless entertainment and unnecessary pleasures by saying, "Beware the dangers of youth!"
He wanted us to think of death, the hereafter, Paradise and Hell and he wanted us to take the masters of the young people of Paradise as examples.
In short, he advised us to live like a sound Muslim and be an idealistic young person.
We should approach the prophet of the prophets (pbuh), who said, "Old people opposed me; young people supported me."
Since we are young, we should extend a hand to him. We should drink from this lucid water spring that he made flow fourteen centuries ago.
In fact, this book, which you are reading, is a drop in the ocean.
Many issues in it should be dealt with in separate books.
If you like this drop, jump into the ocean without hesitation.
Jump into the vast ocean of hadiths, tafsir and Islamic sciences.
You will not regret it.
You will be so happy in the paradise of knowledge and worship you will virtually feel that bodily and lustful desires are sparks from Hell.
If your heart feels disturbed by the sparks of your soul and desires, take refuge in the nice climate of Islam, which is like Paradise, and never leave it.
And try to save those who are in Hell.
Do not be deceived by so many young people who become drunk due to entertainment and plunge in pleasure; their spirits are in agony. They resort to entertainment and numb the mind in order to alleviate the pains coming from his mind and spirit.
They need your care, love and help.
Please forgive me for using a style of giving advice. I wanted to address you directly. I know that I need these realities more than you. Therefore, I am waiting for your prayers and I am praying for all young people. This book is a flower of my love to you, a sentence of my prayers and a drop of my tears.
May Allah bless you!
