Abstract

The Quran stands as the final and most comprehensive guide for humanity, and embracing its teachings is crucial for attaining spiritual fulfillment. All Muslims, across epochs and eras, must firmly adhere to this divine source of guidance. According to the viewpoint of the Supreme Leader of the Revolution, due to the significance of the phase of life characterized by motivation, vigor, and personality development, adolescents and youth should particularly engage with the Quran more than others. Therefore, the Supreme Leader urges scholars, responsible institutions, and authorities to identify, prioritize, and pay attention to the methods of promoting the Quran among youth, which stands as one of the most critical and practical issues. Hence, employing a descriptive-analytical approach and utilizing library resources alongside field observations, this article investigates modern methods of Quran promotion among adolescents and youth, emphasizing the perspective of the Supreme Leader. The results of this study highlight that the most crucial new approaches to promoting the Holy Quran include the utilization of virtual spaces, social networks, mass communication media, television, radio, animations, and artistic tools.
