We About Youth 6 (Book)

Our Youth Series 6 constitutes the sixth volume in the Diyanet Affairs Presidency’s seminar book series aimed at youth. The book addresses concepts that have taken root in the social and individual thought worlds of young people: destiny, fitrah, responsibility, and freedom. These themes are presented through explanations prepared by an academic commission.
