“If you see that someone is performing an evil action, stop it with your hand. If you can’t stop by your hands, then stop it with your words. If you can’t stop it with your words then stop it with your soul. But, stopping with your soul is the weakest form of iyman (belief).” (narrated by Imam Muslim)

Honorable President commented following on this issue: “We have known for centuries that development of a society is connected with the young generation’s education and upbringing. But in XXI century this issue is becoming life-and-death issue.”
During the speeches it was warned that all young people from Uzbekistan in foreign counties are our children and if we don’t pay serious attention to them some other forces may cheat them and use in evil deeds.
